As Hurricane Beryl continues its march of destruction across the Caribbean , members of the dispora in Montreal are bracing themselves for the worst. With the storm pummeling Jamaica Tuesday evening, some in Montreal are starting to come to terms with the fact that such storms are expected to be more frequent. As Phil Carpenter reports, they're also starting to prepare to send help.
The deadly category 4 storm, the biggest on record this early in the season in the region, is forecast to pass near or over Jamaica’s south coast Wednesday into Thursday, after it ripped through the eastern Caribbean earlier this week, devastating islands like Grenada and St. Vincent and The Grenadines. At least six people have been killed.By midday local time Wednesday people in Jamaica, particularly on the southeast coast, were already feeling the effects.
“People and their animals, crops and all that. It’s their livelihood,” he pointed out. “So, when you have animals wiped out and crops wiped out, it’s hard to start all over again.”“Landslides on certain roads, downed power lines, trees impacting residential or commercial properties and lots of flooding in underserved areas,” explained Danielle, a quantity surveyor.
