I forgot to say the Stores are back open in Town today and people seem to be back to work, in the South at least.

There was a 7 days State if Emergency declared prior to the storm but that was lifted...not sure if it was lifted Island wide.

- The Aftermath.

Having experienced Ivan and then Emily, Beryl was not as bad as Ivan but a little worse than Emily.

I live in North St. George so relatively the southern half if the Island so we were lucky...not much in the way of damage, just some water in our house from under doors (note to self...sandbags next time). There was one death though on the mainland and at least two on Carriacou...there was also some roof damage I believe here in Grenada.

The north (St. Patrick) and the Islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique took the full force of the storm and our PM has been over to Carriacou to assess the damage and aid to the Islands is well under way. They are in a bad way with so much damage.

Here on the mainland Grenlec and NAWSA have been troopers...we got power back at 10.30 pm last night and water shortly after. Some are still without water and of course we are still recovering from the previous drought. Hopefully most will have power and water by the weekend as they work their way round the Island.

I just feel a sense of relief then a touch of guilt when I think if the Islands, especially as I know what they are going through... .

Once again we will bounce back.

Stay safe everyone and prepare.

With just an hour or so to go, hurricane Beryl is heading directly forCarriacou. My CCTV cameras are showing the wind picking up. Guess firstfrom the NW then backing round through -West- SW-South. Can I wish allof you in Grenada all the best over the next few hours. If you are ableplease contact me.

- Beryl the peril.

Some thunder and lightning with heavy rain already this morning early...now on and off raining. Just waiting now.

I think there are those of us who remember Ivan and have prepared but there are some who have never experienced what is about to happen and are not ready.

A state of emergency was declared last night and will be in place for 7 days. We still have electricity but water was cut off at 9 pm yesterday.

Stay safe everyone

I haven't posted for quite some time but with Beryl knocking on our door I thought I would make a comment. Firstly, we've already had a huge thunderstorm today a sort of precursor of what's to come.

I've spent the last two days preparing because unlike with Ivan we now know what to expect... And I think it's Ivan that's on everyone's minds here in Grenada. We all know the damage that caused.

Hopefully people will be better prepared this time although I have been relying on this page and Mr weatherman for the information because our local NADMA have been a bit slow... Only really heard from them in the last two days so I hope others in Grenada have been aware. Some of our online news outlets have kept people up to date. All we can do now on the islands that will be affected is hope we've done all the preparation and wait and see what happens.

A bit scary knowing there's another one coming behind it.

Stay safe everyone and good luck

Jacquie Dowden.

- Probable Tropical Storm probable Monday, could this be "Beryl"?

Hi folks, yes I am still alive!!!

I have been watching Mr Weatherman, he is now suggesting that a TropicalStorm, maybe 'Beryl', coming through the Windward islands Monday. Itlooks as if it should pass to the North of Grenada. If this is the casethen Grenada should get less winds than further north. This isextremely early in the year for Tropical Storms.

See Mr weatherman - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB-ZOhhw7CI forfurther details.


Now is the time to make sure that any loose things should be secured.

All the best, keep safe.
