Torrential rains and gusting winds pound Jamaica as
the island receives the full brunt of Hurricane Dean.
Many island residents ignored pleas from officials to
abandon their homes and seek shelter. But by 6:00am
on Monday morning neighborhoods came alive again,
with residents assessing damages, bailing out water,
cleaning up and clearing the streets in front of their
homes. Many residents lost their roofs, not to mention
the constant state of current discomfort without
running water or electricity in many areas still by Tuesday.
Solidarity in its best form is what the aftermath of this
hurricane has brought to Jamaican communities. Each one
is now being encouraged to lend a helping hand to others
in need following the storm.
