    Everybody welcome back to another vlog and here i am with ‪@Yahmantv‬ a UA-camr from here in Jamaica and today we take a look at the aftermath of the hurricane in Spanish town as well as old harbour. These communities seem to have been damaged by the hurricane but the Jamaican spirit is very strong and resilient they are already back at it trying to fix up their homes. This community is important to Kingston because it is a fishing village and that is how many of these people earn a living.. let’s say a prayer and hope things get back to normal fairly soon.
    If you’d like to book a tour with a trusted local, please do contact ‪@Yahmantv‬ this will send you over to his channel.

    I love this video, showing us what Jamaica is like after the hurricane.
    I landed safely back home from Jamaica yesterday (with a few extra passengers, flight full) from St Ann, who still has no power.
    Was my first ever hurricane and was very scary, as the windy was very powerful and noisy.

    One thing JPS must consider is to run the electric wires underground instead of have poles because with the tropical country we live in we will continue to get these types of weather. With poles in the air will cause problems. Other parishes is devastated especially the rural area. St Elizabeth, Manchester, Clarendon, Mandeville

      @@KamilleFergusonhmm I think sometimes people don’t have a choice tbh. You heard that they are fishermen so they usually need to be up early and out most of the day fishing… so convenience. A lot of people have also lived in the same community or even house their entire lives so for them to move isn’t practical. Global warming has drastically affected nature so a lot of them events aren’t usually so bad etc. there are a lot of factors.
      I think it would be more appropriate to send them well wishes instead of trying to figure out why they chose to live near water (not uncommon for an Island) and every human is deserving of a place to live, even if it’s by large bodies of water. Don’t judge too harshly because none of us are ‘safe’.

      @antoniaPrince 18 днів тому +5

      I am from Old Harbour and by extention Old Harbour Bay. If you know your history you'd understand the establishment of Old Harbour Bay and that it is actually a fishing village and the largest in Jamaica.
      Due to controversial "activities" the proposal for tourism have been met with question marks. It has been looked into but just like anything you need risk assessment and I am assuming it was done hence no further development.
      However, tourist still do visit typically people from the diaspora to buy seafood similar to hellshire plus there is a beach area for swimming aside from the fishing village. So is the people's fishing village a disappointment when you haven't tried to figure out why certain things aren't done or being done??
