Before and After: The devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa on Black River, St. Elizabeth#wicnews #hurricane #hurricanemelissa #Category5 #Jamaica


 


The X post from WIC News contrasts pre-hurricane footage of St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church in Black River, Jamaica, with video evidence of post-Hurricane Melissa devastation, including flooded streets, collapsed power lines, and debris-strewn homes in St. Elizabeth parish.

Hurricane Melissa, a rare Category 5 storm that made landfall on October 28, 2025, is Jamaica's strongest recorded hurricane, causing at least dozens of deaths, widespread flooding, and infrastructure damage due to its slow 5 mph movement, per BBC and NYT reports.

Public responses to the post highlight concern for rebuilding, with one user seeking verified donation organizations amid fears of aid mismanagement, reflecting broader challenges in post-disaster recovery in the Caribbean.
