    Yes, I remember it very clearly. It was an eerie red/orangish glow not like a sunset. And we had a bit of a breeze around 6pm

    I remember being in Mona, St. Andrew and looked up at the sky amazed by how red the sky/clouds were. Most people had heeded the warnings and purchased candles and kerosene oil. Masters supermarket had absolutely no baked products whatsoever. The memories of this monster and the destruction it left behind cannot be erased or forgotten.

    That video clip at 3:57 of that zinc flying is so famous. I was 10 years old living in Portmore and remember this day vividly. Luckily, we had concrete slab roof so we were ok compared to others. Wow, this brings back memories 😊
