Summary

Heavy rains on Monday evening caused flooding in sections of St James, Jamaica, particularly affecting the Estuary Housing Scheme in Montego Bay. The rainfall, lasting approximately one hour, left parts of the scheme under at least four feet of water, forcing residents to relocate or make arrangements to leave. The flooding also impacted nearby areas such as Johns Hall, where firefighters were called to clear roads, and Tucker, where floodwaters inundated shops and swept away cars. The drainage system in the area has yet to be repaired, leading to concerns about future flooding.
