🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 you bring water to my eyes

I'm seeing some insensitive comments, no one chooses where they're born, beryl eye was very large and carriacou fitted directly into the eye, i saw that on the radar, there was no escape from 150 wind speed, beryl is moving fast and she developed into major hurricane in 42hrs, those islands had less time to get materials to board up, i also saw in the video walls crash down so concrete is also no match for a powerful storm, the structures standing are just lucky. Help is already arriving but it have to be distributed in a coordinated effort, some people already left the island for shelter elsewhere. To my colleagues at princess royal hospital,stand strong and everyone else be safe things will eventually get better. Forward ever backward never.🇬🇩🇨🇦❤💚💛

As a seasoned disaster medical officer..I have seen the horrible destruction of hurricanes. It when it hits these island it beyond sad as help is so slow in the recovery. I do psychological intakes and I already know this is going to have long term consequences on the psyche. But the resilience of these people will heal and rebuild.

For all of those people who think us West Indian folks live in huts by the sea... Most of us don't and we have bigger houses and lots than many of you do.

My mother, Ms Nell Hill, was a Peace Corps volunteer and teacher on Grenada for 2 years (1971 and 1972 I think) I never had the opportunity to go there but I feel a connection with the people because of my mom. It's heart breaking to see the island in such a state of destruction.

My question as a home owner in Florida which survived Hurricane Ian, how are these folks going to rebuild??? I believe these islands are a commonwealth of Great Britain. I assume no home owners insurance. Rebuilding the infrastructure will be unbelievably expensive.

@WxChasing

They are an independent country. It will take a very long time and require a lot of help.

Imagine all that surrounding aquamarine gorgeousness amidst all that splintering devastation😮😮 total wipeout😢😢

This is a story that needs to be told!

This is a multiplication of ten from the destruction I saw where I lived after Ian and we were in the eyewall as it made landfall.

It's sad, that they could not and cannot afford hurricane-resistant construction standards because of the economic conditions on these islands. I went through a cat 4 (2mph short of cat 5) hurricane, in Cape Coral (Ian) my vegetation was devastated, lost about 25% of my shingles of the roof but that was the only damage to my house. Of course, it is built to hurricane-resistant standards. In these islands they cannot enforce such standards as they are too costly, so the people could not get housing/shelter at all, or for very-very long time, which is unacceptable. So flimsily built houses will go up again - unfortunately - but there is no other choice.

Only DOME shape structures might work in Grenada, just saying given the land mass and geographic location to future storms and hurricanes. Only can enforce better building codes going forward. It wouldn't make sense to go and rebuild using the same methods only to go through another hurricane.

Yes. This is terrible. Many older places in FL like this too. The building codes have to be brought up. I often say the same- dome and round houses cut windshear by 33%. Many of the homes there didn’t even have plywood under the tin roof. The whole island needs rebuilding w/new underground electrical as well. I’ve been through a Cat 5. It’s something you will never forget. All buildings should be block with roofs to code. Lord help these people. 🙏🙏🙏
