Influencer Hannah Grubbs is under fire after sharing lighthearted vacation videos about her trip to Jamaica just as Hurricane Melissa - a Category 5 storm - barreled toward the island. With at least seven lives already lost in other parts of the Carribbean, critics are accusing Grubbs, who has more than 360,000 social media followers, of being tone-deaf for joking about the hurricane "messing up" her getaway while residents brace for devastation. Multiple reports noted that Hurricane Melissa struck the coast of Jamaica around 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday, October 28, hitting New Hope with 185 mph winds, the strongest ever recorded. Grubbs faced backlash after sharing a now-deleted TikTok on October 24 of her and a fellow traveler walking in the airport, writing via the caption, "Us on our way to Jamaica during a hurricane." @hannahhgrace21 ♬ original sound - Hannahhgrace She followed up with another clip of a bartender serving her two colorful and frosted beverages upon their arrival, quipping about "pretending" to ignore the weather. On Sunday, October 26, Grubbs shared another clip of herself on a hotel balcony. "Hurricane Melissa out here messing with my vacation," she vented, continuing to post on Monday, October 27, by showing how the storm was not fazing her, adding the song "Livin' My Best Life" by Dylan Scott as her audio. "Your vacation? What about peoples homes? Businesses?" one TikTok user sounded off in the comments.

"I would feel so ashamed if people die in this hurricane after purposely travelling there when the locals have no money to leave," a third person wrote. In yet another update, Grubbs said that she and her fellow hotel guests were moved to the second floor, plus their glass doors were taped in an X shape in an effort to prevent flooding and the high winds from wreaking havoc by shattering the windows. She noted they were expected to lose service and told to stay put once the storm made landfall. "After dinner, we're supposed to head to our rooms and not come out until they knock on our doors within the next couple days," she revealed, sharing her "prayers for Jamaica" and "the whole island." Grubbs also told her TikTok followers that she and others who have been staying at the hotel were given water, soda, sandwiches, boxes of cereal and apples. 5 Things to Know About TikTok's Lieutenant Dan After Hurricane Milton Her latest post, timestamped at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, mentioned the eye of the storm was headed in that direction.
