Jamaica’s prime minister Andrew Holness has described the town of Black River as the country’s “ground zero” of damage from Hurricane Melissa.
The port on the southwest of the island nation bore the full force of 185 mph (295km/h) winds as the storm made landfall on Tuesday. Officials have said there are deaths but the full totality of the toll will take time to discover.
