Hurricane Beryl devastated the bread basket parish of St. Elizabeth on Wednesday, leaving damage to critical infrastructure and property including schools.
Member of Parliament for South West St. Elizabeth, Floyd Green, says based on reports received, it appears no community in his constituency was spared.
From Flagaman, to Treasure Beach, to Black River, the MP said there was widespread reports of damage.
"To be honest, I've had reports of damage largely, roofs being blown off, houses being damaged, trees downed, poles down from every single community thus far. In fact, I've had multiple people indicating that they've completely lost their houses," he reported.
Schools such as Black River Primary, Sandy Bank Primary, Pedro Plains Primary as well as the Pedro Plains Anglican Church have also been damaged.
Mr. Green speaking Thursday on Radio Jamaica's Hotline.
The Black River Hospital has also suffered damage to its roof and walls.
