Comments: At least 11 premises in Old Harbour Bay, St Catherine, were flooded on Sunday after a storm surge associated with the approaching Category Four Hurricane Melissa brought knee-high water into sections of the community, prompting the activation of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Early Warning System. Parish disaster coordinator for St Catherine Yasheka Jathan-Thompson said, at 4:10 pm Sunday, approximately 86 people had already evacuated and were at Old Harbour High School shelter.
