ST JAMES, Jamaica — Several Montego Bay communities were flooded after heavy rainfall on Monday afternoon, leaving streets submerged and residents facing another clean-up just days before the anniversary of Hurricane Melissa.
Catherine Hall, the Estuary Housing Scheme and sections of Tucker were among the areas affected.
Several streets in Catherine Hall were underwater, while an entire section of Estuary was inundated. The affected area in Estuary has remained largely abandoned since Hurricane Melissa caused widespread destruction last year.
In Tucker, floodwaters surged through the community during the night, reportedly washing away several vehicles.
Residents have begun cleaning up while remaining watchful for further flooding.
The downpour brought fresh disruption to communities that experienced similar flooding during last year’s hurricane.
