- Beryl left us. |
|
We are here and grateful. We have no electricity or water. Some of the roofs in our area are partially damaged. Trees fell and blocked parts of the roads. Some southern areas were badly damaged. We have reports of power lines down in Rocky Point, Portland Cottage and surrounding areas and roadblocks from trees. Reports of damages in St. Elizabeth also. Awaiting more reports. Be safe! Mr. K. Maragh Clarendon Distillers Ltd. Monymusk P.O. |
- Category 4 Hurricane Beryl |
|
So Hurricane Beryl is right on our doorsteps as a Category 4 system. The forward speed has slowed down from 22MPH to 18MPH as of writing, which is not good for us. We are currently feeling light winds at my location (Clarendon). Tropical storm to hurricane wind speeds are expected here and we have prepped as much as possible. We are hoping for a safe journey through this hurricane as it will affect the Southern Parishes mostly. Be safe everyone! Mr. K. Maragh Clarendon Distillers Ltd. Monymusk P.O. |
- Hurricane Beryl Alert! |
|
Good day! As Hurricane Beryl approaches Jamaica, we are imploring everyone to be as prepared as possible for this very dangerous storm. To me this seems very similar to Hurricane Ivan (2004) which caused catastrophic damage mostly to the South of the island. There is some wind shear South East of the island which is forecasted to lessen the Hurricane's wind speed just a bit. As of writing, Hurricane Beryl is a very strong category 5 storm with wind speeds of 165MPH (265KMH), moving WNW at 22MPH (35.4KMH). I will see how best I can update during the hurricane. Be safe everyone! Mr. K. Maragh Clarendon Distillers Ltd. Monymusk P.O. |
- Strong Tropical Wave. |
|
Hey everyone! Just a quick update. The strong tropical wave is currently passing South of the island hence most of the rain was more focused in the Southern Parishes. Kingston received some strong winds and rain yesterday (June 26) and some small damages were seen. Here in Clarendon some strong winds and heavy rains passed over us in the night, along with intermittent heavy rain and light rain into the early morning. Satellite images currently showing scattered clouds in and around the island, some more rain is forecasted. Stay safe! Mr. K. Maragh Monymusk P.O. |
