The random photo journal » Storm the Aftermath

A bit late but everything is buzzing again. The government was quick to restart everything after being armed with "Emergency Powers". On Monday September 13 2004 all banks where open and the clean up started slowly but surely. Billboards, signs, electricty poles and tall trees where easy victims to the furious winds of the hurricane which lasted all through the night. Low lying areas were flooded and houses with zinc roofs lost their roofs. Looting in a few areas, people got marooned and or killed by falling trees. Electricity, telephones and water went soon after the hurricane hit, some people are still waiting for them to return. Most of the utility poles were broken or damaged.
All being said it was a very rainy weekend, could have been worst (and for some people it probably was), it seems that we no longer have internet service either (something about severed cables). Probably no local sites will get to update again - ever.
Update
Internet and electricity is back. The agricultural industry suffered alot of damage, in an interview the Minister of Agricultural mentioned the word "famine" but then quickly changed it to "food shortage".

Now Im talking from position of having actually gone through the storm. Where I was wasnt too bad, I didnt see the damage I was preparing for, but most areas of the island experienced loads of damage. Yes, there is not water at home, not electricity. It sucks!! But of course my workplace had to have electricity so they could demand I come in to work. Its surprising thought that the phonelines were up throughout the storm. The looting did take place and I am not surprised. I heard so many gunshots. Yiiikes!! But all in all, lets forget about the flood and wind damage and pray that Lovindeer doesnt record another song.... Wah Wah!! Wild Ivan!

Traveling without moving » Bus Stop
written by owen, published 2004-Sep-09, comment
The "bus stop"s in Jamaica are quite simple with very little wind and splash protection but they work and that's mostly what matters most. Bus Stop aka where people stand so that public transport can see them and pick them up - just in case it's called something different in you country.
