Hurricane Beryl Heads Towards Jamaica After Wreaking Havoc in Saint Lucia | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

As Hurricane Beryl heads towards Jamaica, the island nation's prime minister is urging caution and for all citizens to take the threat seriously. Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica says, "I am now declaring the whole of Jamaica to be a disaster area in accordance with section 26 of the Disaster Risk Management Act for the next seven days." Jamaica is scrambling to make preparations as the category 4 storm tears through the Caribbean. An island-wide curfew remains in effect. The storm now features winds of up to 145 miles per hour. At least 6 people have died already from the storm, including 3 in Saint Lucia. Regional Coordinator at Caritas Antilles, Marcia Haywood, joins to share how things are in Saint Lucia, what we are seeing, what the mood is and how long it might take for the island to recover. Haywood tells us what the biggest needs are right now and how our audiences can help if they want to. Haywood explains whether we know how much Church properties or other faith-based structures are doing. She discusses what we are hearing from people in Jamaica as they prepare to face Hurricane Beryl next. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
