Jamaica was battered by Hurricane Beryl. There have already been reports of nine deaths. However, rescuers fear that this number will increase even more. It was initially known that there had been extensive damage. It should be noted that the T20 World Cup-winning Indian team was stuck in Barbados under the influence of this beryl.
It is known that Hurricane Beryl hit Jamaica on Wednesday afternoon. Because of it, the island in the Caribbean Sea has practically been destroyed. Initially, nine deaths were reported. The storm has uprooted trees and caused flooding in large parts of Jamaica. Rescuers fear that many more people may be found dead if the affected areas are approached.
Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness said that 500 people have taken shelter in relief camps. However, he said, “There is still no idea how bad the condition of the affected areas could be. As far as humanly possible, I will try to save everyone. The rest is in God’s hands.” It should be noted that the airport in Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, is closed due to the storm. Power service is off. Our people have lost everything in the storm.
Note that Saturday was the World Cup final in Barbados. But after winning the match due to Hurricane Beril, Team India got stuck in Barbados. The airport is closed. A curfew is issued. Indian cricketers were confined to hotels. In this situation, board secretary Jai Shah made alternative arrangements to quickly return the Indian team home. He contacted Air India. Finally, the Men in Blue returned to the country on Thursday. But Jamaica is troubled by the power of Beryl.
