Re: St Elizabeth

&W shuts down in Mandeville

Cable and Wireless says it had to shut down the Mandeville Exchange because of flooding.

Cable and Wireless says customers in Manchester and St. Elizabeth will be affected. The company also says its recovery teams will begin restoration work as soon as it is safe to do so.

And Digicel says the electrical outage has affected some of its transmission sites. The company says as soon as engineers and technicians are able to go to the sites, they will refuel the stand by power generators to restore full coverage.

Re: St Elizabeth

SteSTETS is a multi floor steel reynforced seroes of buildings.
Bui;t under government of Jamaica's supervision.
It is also built less than 40 years.
Those bui;ldoings are sumstantial,and unless there was an earthquake,they are not as easy to be demolished.
Hurricane forse of even 169/mph is not enopugh to destroy tyhem unless there are other influences.

Re: St Elizabeth

Just got a phone call about Junction & Top Bull Savannah.
A cousin picked her way down past the downed trees /and powerlines from Mandeville into Junction via Spur Tree hill today.

Parts and full roofs are down. Many of the roofs on Shaddock Hill/Dundee hill are partially gone. Many downed trees in the area as well and some flooding into homes on the slope of the hill. No injuries nor loss of life reported.

Re: St Elizabeth

Finally talked to Carolyn Allen at Waterloo Guest House in Black River. The wind blew 1/2 the roof off and she suffered a lot of wind and water damage throughout. Most of the sea walls are down in the area - the Courthouse have been heavily damaged and the roads are open but hard to navigate. C@W is working - but only for cell phones - still no power. Didn't hear of any injury or death. Time to get some sleep and pray for you all. Talk to you tomorrow

This was just posted on www.treasurebeach.net

I just spoke with my father, Denny Soares and here is some news on Southfield. The Soares Bakery and Mikey's home was okay. Rightway and the home behind it was okay. Bethel Gospel and the Southfield 7th Day Adventist Churches lost their roofs. Light posts are down and many people have lost their roofs or have structural damage to their homes. What trees that are still standing are bare, even of their leaves. All the workers from the Soares Bakery are also okay. There are some areas of Southfield that they know nothing about like the back part of Queensberry. Some of the roads ae being cleared, but there is alot of debris all over. I hope that this news will help. As I get news I will update this site, so please check back. AGain a special thanks to Mrs. Allison Hill and her husband Mr. Tojo Hill. Also to TBnet and Rebecca, words can't express the gratitude that I have for both of you. I hope that when I come to Jamaica again I will finally meet Rebecca. My cousin is Karla Parchment who is part owner of Cocona. If you see her, please give her my love. Take care everyone.

Re: St Elizabeth

Opps...hit Add too quickly above...

Also on www.treasurebeach.net are tons of reports on resident in Treasure Beach...no reports of deaths and almost everyone accounted for safely.

It was also reported that the roof to STETS is damaged, not the buidling itself.
