Jamaica Storm Devastates Coastlines and River Basins
Reports from Jamaica describe a devastating hurricane hitting the island on the 17th and 18th of the month. Coastal towns such as Port Maria and Anotta Bay suffer flooding, with ships wrecked and cargo lost. Dozens of parishes report damaged bridges, sugar and coffee crops ruined, and widespread property destruction. Local defenses and plans to address the aftermath are discussed, including government measures and civil authority responses.
