- Firs drive around Carriacou, Grenada after Hurricane Beryl. This was shot the day after #HurricaneBeryl made #landfall in #carriacou #grenada
We were driving around the island doing damage surveys, stopping in certain places to allow people to use our starlink to make first contact with familes and capturing drone video. We are hoping families are able to get clues to family members or homes.

Here is a fundraiser we are helping to support, please check it out: www.gofundme.com/f/carriacou-strong-hurricane-relief?
The positivity of the people from this island in the face of such utter devastation is amazing. Love and good wishes to them.♥♥♥♥
As a trini I can attest we love our island family a stone throw away, much love and support heading y’all way!
I can’t stress enough how positive and incredible they are.
@@WxChasing No doubt!
Thank you for giving voice to the people of Carriacou. There is power in hearing from them directly. God bless you all.
My pleasure. I wish we could do far more.
We are praying for this whole island. Should be receiving aid very soon. This is 100% total devastation on the vegetation and 98% total building damage. Thank God you didn’t loose more lives. Please help these people.
My mama in-law lives in Mount Royal Carriacou. Both my mama and uncles home were totally destroyed. Still no aide has reached people.
Thanks for sharing the actual shots of the results. This is the best, and only that I know of, source for video of what the place looks like now. Much better than all the melodrama from “News“ outlets.
This is the worst devastation, i've ever seen in my life time in the caribbean. Come on world, come on people reach out your hands of compassion. May God watch over our people in Jesus name❤
What are you talking about ? Everything it’s destroyed in that island
The Island has lost 98% of its buildings, trees & vegetation ripped up, what are you talking about? Melodrama! WTF? 😮😢
Las fuentes de noticias dan la información de lo que está pasando y el rumbo que va a tomar, cuál drama, cuál mentira.
@@joyceashton7541this is bad but its not the worst thats happened in the Caribbean
Have they received any aid yet? I'm always amazed at how complicated it seems to be when it comes to delivering help! I hope they get the help they so badly need and are not overlooked in favor of the bigger islands! Thank you for both being there and putting the spotlight on their community!!!
Yes aid is getting in.
Prayers to all yes get them help right away 🙏🙏🙏❤️
He also needs to link to the various aid efforts happening to enable viewers to donate
Samaritans Purse should be there now.
@@utamu777I pinned a comment with the official fund set up by Grenada.
this is the highest quality reporting i've seen of the aftermath. Yall are maniacs for running into a hurricane on an island, but heroes for it too.
I am glad our reporting was helpful. We are not heroes, that goes to the people in Carriacou. Anyone that can go through this and continue to smile and help each other dominates the hero category.
Thank you so so much I saw my house and not as bad as I was told. Thank you, Thank you
I’m glad the video brought good news for someone.
Such a beautiful island. So sorry for the devastation. 😢 Praying you receive aid soon. 🙏
Caribbean neighbours are rallying together to bring relief in terms of food stuff ,personal care and other emergency aid needfuls to the islands .Many collection drives are underway in Trinidad and Tobago for dispatch over the coming days and weeks .Response to help with the resilience of our people
The response has been amazing but the logistical issues are immense.
One Caribbean Unity!❤
Catastrophic damage, the vegetation and trees are mostly gone
We need every tree
Those trees that are stripped bare will have leaves again in about 6 weeks.
This is total destruction
As a seasoned disaster medical officer..I have seen the horrible destruction of hurricanes. It when it hits these island it beyond sad as help is so slow in the recovery. I do psychological intakes and I already know this is going to have long term consequences on the psyche. But the resilience of these people will heal and rebuild.
Yes, I can’t help but think about the PTSD and myriad of other psychological issues that these folks will experience for a long time to come.🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 they’re most loving and giving people I have met anywhere in the world. I truly hope that loving and giving goes back to them🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤
You are very welcome. Apologies for the edit quality, we were just trying to get it out for those looking for answers. Hoping it helped someone.
I'm seeing some insensitive comments, no one chooses where they're born, beryl eye was very large and carriacou fitted directly into the eye, i saw that on the radar, there was no escape from 150 wind speed, beryl is moving fast and she developed into major hurricane in 42hrs, those islands had less time to get materials to board up, i also saw in the video walls crash down so concrete is also no match for a powerful storm, the structures standing are just lucky. Help is already arriving but it have to be distributed in a coordinated effort, some people already left the island for shelter elsewhere. To my colleagues at princess royal hospital,stand strong and everyone else be safe things will eventually get better. Forward ever backward never.🇬🇩🇨🇦❤💚💛
We face a revolution, an invasion, oppression we are the heart of resilience. Hurricane Ivan devastation, Emily come we stand up strong, Beryl come we didn't back down. We go make it yeah, we will beat this thing together. Grenadians our belly skin tight as ever, we are loud, we are proud and we are a resilient people. Lets rise as a people and dust ourselves off.
🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 you bring water to my eyes
I hope rich people and governments get together and get relief quickly. God bless everyone here.
This is a former British Colony and I hope they are putting together an emergency package to help these islanders.
There's organizations in place for this very thing
My beloved Grenada, this breaks my heart for you. Sending my love, strength and prayers for all affected. Stay positive & strong.
It'll be beautiful again. Now i want to visit.
Although it is heartbreaking to view; the coverage shows the level of devastation that the island endured. Thanks for sharing the video with the rest of the world.
My pleasure. Hopefully it drives plenty of aid.
God Bless & Protect 24/7.
please drive through belmont area need to k ow my grandad is ok
What a magnificent view of the ocean. The ocean is breath taking to see in the distance. This is horrific. Could never imagined a pl lace could look so devastated. 😢😢😢😢
I lived in the town of Windward on Carriacou Island and the people are devastated and I am too!
Hoping all can recoup and build a better Carriacou for the next Hurricanes.
My people have always been on Carriacou for the last 6,000 years and that needs to continue now.
Windward was hit so hard as was the entire island. You Grenadians will come back stronger than ever. Just need help.
@@WxChasing THANKS to WXChasing for the timely video out to the World about the Beryl's destruction of The Grenadines.
BEST news, my friend and his family on Carriacou are alive and as good as can be for now!
I will return and it is Selector time Dubwise.
Thank you so much. Your coverage helped to relieve a lot of anxiety
I hope so. Wish we could have done more.
I pray these people are being helped 😢
They will rebuild stronger and wiser...lives were saved thank God...condolences to those who lost any loved ones....May they rest in God's perfect peace....we don't know what future holds for any off us...but what we hold onto is faith in God that he will provide...protect...and preserve by his precious blood.
He's got the world in his hands ...so who can doubt that he is not in every existence and details of living.
Samaritans purse is an excellent organization to donate to. They have already sent in planes, full of food and water and supplies and will rebuild.
I prefer to help the people of Carriacou, not pay for Franklin Graham's obscene, bloated salary and his luxury air travel. Thx!
Wow a tree left standing. A place for the birds to live in. Thank God .
Didn't realize carriocou was this big 😮 beautiful place i can see what beryl mash up 😢 ive never been to this place yet lol 😊 just because i fraid boat ride 🙈 am praying for you guys .may God keep you in the palm of his hands 👐 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🇬🇩🇬🇩
13 sq miles…. It’s the most beautiful place in the world with the most beautiful people. May you see it in all its glory when you visit. They will rebuild! they will rise up!
Thanks for sharing as the news media does not show the real impact on the island. I pray u guys get help soon.
My pleasure. Help is arriving in mass.
Prayers for everyone on those islands affected by hurricane Beryl. May they find hope and peace, and the assistance they need to rebuild their homes and lives.
It stripped all of the colour out of the island. Even the grass looks black . Trying to see whose house I can recognise.
To see the destruction of this beautiful island makes me cry. These beautiful people need help asap. Praying for them all including the animals. Thank you for sharing this video. This island means lots to me as I have many fond memories including when my husband proposed to me while on a diving expedition.
Thank you watching. Yes, Carriacou is so special.
I'm from South Florida, Fort Lauderdale. you know Florida will be sending help as soon as we can🙏💯🇺🇲💪
Thank you, thank you, thank you from your neighbors in Bequia
Our pleasure.
Most of all the buildings the structural is OK but nearly all the roofs are missing.. That should tell you something when it comes to rebuilding? 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You guys be strong in the Lord thanks for sharing 🇧🇸🌹♥️
So very sorry, hope you get the help you need asap. Your Island will be beautiful again. ❤ from the UK. 😢
Give it 6 weeks those trees will be sprouting green again😊❤
It really boggles my mind how much grass and greenery was ripped up from the hurricane. Near everthing was stripped bare. Much love to everyone in Carriacou, hoping aid gets to all corners of the island very soon ❤
This is devastating it looks like something out of a horror movie. How and when these people are going to return to normal only God knows. Stay strong my brothers and sisters. ❤❤❤.
Thanks for sharing 😢😢 you will build back in Jesus mighty name 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks Dr Carter, OMG, heartbreaking. I think I saw Salasie on his boat in the Mangroves after the storm. Mast was down and he was moving around the deck. My boat somehow survived in there, just around the corner to the back, my friend put her there for me. So much loss, devastation. I love Carriacou, I’ve run almost every road, track and trail on the island over the last 25 years.
I pray supplies and help has arrived. Please let us know on a video if you can. 🙏☮️
We will be heading back in a couple weeks and will document recovery and update.
Wow thanks for sharing it is so sad it’s not going to be easy I do hope that they will get all the help that they need with God all things are possible 🙏🏿👍
Where did the people go to hunker down during the hurricane?
and where are they now?? no one in this video only a few
Can't get over how nice the streets are on this island. Dallas, TX needs to take a lesson!!
Odd comment, ok so the USA isn't Oz... whoop-ti-doo.
@@beyourself2444 ever been to dallas, tx? You would understand. What a weird comment!
It is also amazing to see the immediate response from the people who live on the island. No squabbling about when help is coming and who is us, they are out there having cut away the down trees etc.
Thank you for this. It gave me a real view of the devastation of my sister Island. My prayers are with the people. Theere is help already being sent. Grenadians in England have rallied together. No green lush vegetation and peoples homes have almost been wiped out. Please help us.
My mother, Ms Nell Hill, was a Peace Corps volunteer and teacher on Grenada for 2 years (1971 and 1972 I think) I never had the opportunity to go there but I feel a connection with the people because of my mom. It's heart breaking to see the island in such a state of destruction.
So sorry - God bless all 😢🙏
My sister lives there with her husband.., Mr and Mrs. John Caton… I pray to God that they are well.
I know that communication is down right now, but I long to hear from or about them
Watching from trinidad...gezzzz 😢.....my goodness
Thanks for the video. Are you able to post what parts of the island you're in when moving around that'll be great🙏🏾
God bless all of you in the Caribbean 🙏
This is a story that needs to be told!
This is a multiplication of ten from the destruction I saw where I lived after Ian and we were in the eyewall as it made landfall.
My question as a home owner in Florida which survived Hurricane Ian, how are these folks going to rebuild??? I believe these islands are a commonwealth of Great Britain. I assume no home owners insurance. Rebuilding the infrastructure will be unbelievably expensive.
They are an independent country. It will take a very long time and require a lot of help.
So so you know there hasn’t been any coverage in the states ! Only showed minor damage to Jamaica
Not surprised by that Americans aren't interested in other countries and their problems .
They quicker to help Ukraine than the Caribbean.
Haitians get sent back home from the Florida shores in the same boats they washed up in. Everybody else gets beds, bussed to different states and amnesty.
@@fantastica9186depends on the State.
New York City has many folks from the Caribbean living here, so they do mention what is happening as far as hurricanes and how to help on our local news channels.
The opposite is true for me. I have had to search for info on Jamaica. I have seen more coverage on Grenada and rightfully so. I hope Cariacou gets much help. Jamaica stands with you🙏🏾🇯🇲
Absolute devastation on that little island. Such a shame 😢
It's sad, that they could not and cannot afford hurricane-resistant construction standards because of the economic conditions on these islands.
I went through a cat 4 (2mph short of cat 5) hurricane, in Cape Coral (Ian) my vegetation was devastated, lost about 25% of my shingles of the roof but that was the only damage to my house. Of course, it is built to hurricane-resistant standards.
In these islands they cannot enforce such standards as they are too costly, so the people could not get housing/shelter at all, or for very-very long time, which is unacceptable.
So flimsily built houses will go up again - unfortunately - but there is no other choice.
This is true. I would like a bomb proof house however I can’t afford this. I still need a house. Even the suggestions of concrete - while may be stating the obvious concrete would have to be shipped there - concrete is insanely expensive to ship. People can’t afford this.
For all of those people who think us West Indian folks live in huts by the sea... Most of us don't and we have bigger houses and lots than many of you do.
Thanks for the video. It would have been helpful to call the names of the areas. I have visited a few times and tying to make out the places as the island is unrecognisable after the hurricane. I wish you can pass the area where my mum is in Hillsborough. Trying to get in contact with her since the Monday hurricane. The lines are down. John unique hotel.
There is a video of Hillsborough on this channel. You may just have to hunt for it. I’ll see if I can find a link.
great job , thanks you
Our pleasure!
Only DOME shape structures might work in Grenada, just saying given the land mass and geographic location to future storms and hurricanes. Only can enforce better building codes going forward. It wouldn't make sense to go and rebuild using the same methods only to go through another hurricane.
Yes. This is terrible. Many older places in FL like this too. The building codes have to be brought up. I often say the same- dome and round houses cut windshear by 33%. Many of the homes there didn’t even have plywood under the tin roof. The whole island needs rebuilding w/new underground electrical as well. I’ve been through a Cat 5. It’s something you will never forget. All buildings should be block with roofs to code. Lord help these people. 🙏🙏🙏
Brandon always has the first and best reports the guy was there days before seemed like I always look to wx videos I know there’s a few of yall if I’m correct
Both have been there 1 Day before . Check out the Videos from his Work Partner Johnathan Petramala www.youtube.com/@JonathanPetramala
Thanks Jared!
Imagine all that surrounding aquamarine gorgeousness amidst all that splintering devastation😮😮 total wipeout😢😢
Waw !! Sending prayers to the residents of Carriacou, Grenada and other countries affected by this devastating storm. Thanking the vlogger for this video. You risked your life driving through the streets with live electrical wires laying on the ground and hanging from dangling lamp poles.. Stay safe and may God give you’ll the strength to fight for another day 🤔❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿
You are very welcome. The lines were not live, the island has no power.
This place looks like a desert now. Prayers for everyone
Will you be able to go to all parts of the island to video? Don't forget the small villages.
We got as much as we could. We were driving around letting people make contact with starlink and had so much going on we couldnt keep track.
Just awful. Praying for the people. Thanks to you we can see the reality and step in to help!
Wish you could have taken video of the same ride before the storm. For a before and after shot.
@@felipegrille8082 he did,with the drone, he already showed it
I have better before and can line up the shots when I have some time.
This is the first video I'm seeing after the hurricane. Where can people donate?
Wow. 😮
The roads seems to be made out of concrete and is mostly in good condition. Looks like most of the folks left the island and took their vehicles with them. I can only see electricity being restored using international help. There are some roofs that remain untouched. This tells me that the problem is with building codes and the folks adhering to these codes.
4:05 those who know…know😂. Our driver could only say “that’s right” to shut him up😂😂😂
Lol
Driving through Grenada looking like apocalypse 👀
Hi, do you have any footage of the Bellevue area? I see you were quite close toward the end of the video. Oh, please I hope you can give us a bit of insight as to how it is there.
Thank you so much for what you are doing.
Im sorry, I have posted everything I shot. Hopefully you have learned more now.
@@WxChasing Oh yes, thank you so much. And may God continue to cover you and bless you. Thank you so much.
That’s horrible I just watched the whole video. So sad for those people. Looks like an ef3 or 4 hit everywhere. Prayers!!
Yes, easily EF3 equivalent. Horrible for the entire island.
My prayers are with the people of Grenada and Carriacou, does anyone know if Carl the skipper is okay on Carriacou? We sailed for snorkling together long time ago
he is ok the boat not.No more skkiping for good old Carl
@@marlu6373 Did he still have the "Good Expectation" like back then? Greet him from Fritzie-boys son, glad he is well
Desde México 🙏, acá tocará tierra en la madrugada. 😢😢
Dios les proteja, desde Costa Rica.
Just got back power in Houston, my damage looks like nothing compared to this. Crazy looks like a bomb went off. Prayers for the carribean. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Omg! 🙏
oh Gosh that look bad, still beautiful views though! Blessings to the people of Grenada.
The defenseless animals and dogs running around breaks my heart. They don’t know what’s happened and they have to fend for themselves. I pray they somehow get help and survive as well as the people. This is so hard to see. Prayers going up to everyone affected by this hurricane. 🙏🏼
80% of the vehicles were in great condition with almost 100% of the homes with damage I don't quite understand that with those strong winds
👍 good observation, not even a scratch from flying debris 😳, ¿were they parked in shelters maybe? 🤔
Most vehicles had some damage. The ones that did not were driving. Some were even flipped and tossed.
Wow. The green place survived. Looks unscathed to me.
How can we send help to these people? Is there any website or link to send some relief funds/money? From Florida, USA to our brothers in Carriacou, Grenada.
I have the government fund for Grenada in the first comment.
@@WxChasing Thanks! Mission Accomplished! God Bless.
Thank you for sharing this video i would of like to know the villages
Please post where you are while driving. It’s so hard to recognize since everything and landmarks have been destroyed
That's a heavy accent man....love it. Stay cool...over there. Edit : Are we in an electric car ?Edit II : does the hurricane literally blow the leaves off the trees ?
Yes, the hurricane stripped the foliage. Not electric.
Reminds me of aftermath of hurricane Hugo Sep 17 1989 St Croix USVI. Hope aid get there ASAP.
Praying for everyone 🙏
Prayer didn't work during the hurricane. So why are you wasting your time engaging in such a fruitless effort?????
The people need help rebuilding their homes, businesses and communities not prayers. I live in Barbados so I understand some of those people situations.
Everybody talking about an aid. Then what ? In 2 years same again or worse ? Petroleum companies should pay, that would make a real change.
Get they between water and food?
Where get they gas for the generators and cars.
🙏
Despite all the destruction you can see carriacou is a beautiful place with real nice roads too better than grenada it seems
wow 😳 🙏 we did have some damage in 🇻🇪 too, most of it overflown rivers, material losses and some fatalities but not like this level of general devastation, uff really sad 😢
The humble town of Cumanacoa and poor rural areas closeby suffered the sudden overflow of the Manzanares river during the night/early morning: ua-cam.com/video/yiqWxI8j1mw/v-deo.htmlsi=uE3UkZkVultfEpIi
How did the cargo container get there (at 6:15)? Was it already there or was did the hurricane blow it there? Thx
No, the cargo container was not across the road before the hurricane. The hurricane did that.
It was blown down the hill by the hurricane. Many shipping containers were flipped and rolled.
Oh My Good Godd !! 😮
This is like what one imagined what the end of the world looks like 🤔 The Apocalypse!!
This is Horror !! It's a miracle that people survived this ! God Be Praised 🙏🏾
