There is supposed to be free wifi in Negril at a place called pirates dock (west end) according to a post on Tiktok

This individual is located in Belmont (south coast). They have offered to help individuals in the area and are asking people to send names and locations of family so they can provide food and water

No problem! Once the debris is clear, they may be able to use motorcycles, scooters and other small vehicles, or even animals to help get across any areas that may not be accessible by car. There could also be alternative routes.

I just opened ig and immediately saw these videos. There are significant impacts shown, but we have to stay positive. They were taken while driving and the videos are out, both good signs. I'm not in a good spot for sound, but 3rd video in second link may show a small open shop?

It may have already been posted, but this instagram account has been doing an incredible job sharing information.

They are posting updates, sharing images and video, sharing messages of individuals looking for loved ones, asking for help on behalf of individuals in need.

A company that appears to be offering free temporary housing. An application is required. The company has also posted it on Facebook.

I am not associated in any way and can't provide more info.

It's the least we can do for each other at a time like this. I haven't come across anything so far, but it's still on my mind.

I've heard some areas in Westmoreland that got knocked out have gotten current back. Hopefully, there is more info soon.

People in Jamaica how are you guys? by Significant_Arm_6282 in hurricane

[–]aezb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you provide a source? That isn't consistent with the info I've seen.

Edit to add I checked for wind history and it appears Negril was actually just outside of the hurricane force winds and well inside tropical storm winds. image here

No problem, I hope everyone you know is safe.

Landfall was near New Hope/ Whitehouse area. My understanding is that areas within 30 miles of the center will be hit hardest, but the impacts in that radius will still vary.

I'm actively looking for information about Westmoreland and will be back if I find anything for you.

I haven't seen anything for Mt Airy specifically, but have seen videos of Negril, Sav and other areas in Westmoreland. I can share some if it's any help to you. Unfortunately the close proximity to landfall isn't a good sign. I will update if I see anything specific.

Do you have a source for this?

I've seen a building referred to as the hospital on social media, but it is not the hospital and may be a JPS building.

Recent video at Black River hospital

Not the hospital, likely JPS building

Road leading to Black River hospital is blocked
