What Grenada looks like After Hurricane Beryl (2024)
Witness the aftermath of hurricane Beryl in Grenada, Caribbean less than 24 hours after she struck.
The morning after hurricane Beryl hit Grenada, I traveled from my home in the island’s capital, St George to one of the hardest hit areas in the most northerly parish.
The recovery effort was remarkable with streets cleared and fallen trees cut to enable services to travel the island. The garbage collection service even made it to our door!
However, with power and phone lines down I traveled by car to my home parish of St Patrick in the north of Grenada, to search for three elderly relatives who I was unable to reach.
Hope this video reassures you as to the state of Grenada, even in the north....

    Wow your guest and I have some things in common: The way she spoke on her love for both the tropics and city life. I feel the same. Also when she spoke on her love for English cultures, I am reversed. I am in love with French culture and countries . I plan to start visiting them so I can continue learning French. I want to expat to Guadeloupe, Martinique, reunion or French Guiana .

    Great to see a bit of St. George's and the stunning beauty of the Caribbean sea. As a young 22 year old traveller in the summer of 1981, I got on a plane from London to Barbados. From there I got inter-island flights or boats to visit Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Grenada. Grenada was by far the most friendly island, although at that time only Barbados had signs of more modern development in comparison. I was in Barbados for Carifesta and met Linton Kwesi Johnson, who I was a fan of. Each island had its magnetic charm back then, but now over 40 years later, I've no idea how much they have changed. However, from my own experience during 4 months of travelling around those islands on a shoestring budget, I couldn't have wished for warmer, more hospitable, friendly people. The whole experience left an indelible footprint on my heart of the beauty, happy spirit and resilient people of the Caribbean.

      @@ExodusCollective You never know, I've often thought of going back to Grenada and St. Vincent, I met some wonderful people there, but I've no idea how to contact them. In Grenada I stayed in Grenville and the surroundings for a few weeks and later on took a trip to Gouyave before going back to St. Vincent. I used to visit St. Georges and Grand Anse Bay and met some lovely people in Cherry Hill too. I did go back to Barbados around 1992, and it had changed quite a bit compared to 1981. I now live in Madrid, Spain, so a trip to the Caribbean would be quite expensive these days. From here the main Caribbean flights go to Dominican Republic, but the mass tourism destination doesn't attract me. Grenada could maybe develop sustainable tourism around the flora and fauna, plus the sea life of course. Bringing quality tourism will always be a more sustainable way to go. I've seen some of the jungle resorts in Suriname, where my wife is from. They are fantastic places to visit to really get an appreciation of rainforest habitats. Grenada has some spectacular rainforest areas too and the cultivation and processing of spices could be made more of an attraction to more ecologically minded tourists. I remember being taken to see the processing of mace and nutmeg at an old mill factory back then. It was very rustic and the smell of spices was fantastic. I also had my first introduction to Mauby in Grenada, that was a bit of a shock! Hahaha, but I soon developed a taste for it. Your channel is very interesting, I'll share it with some people I know in Suriname and friends in the UK whose parents were from Grenada. I grew up in Wembley, and I had many school friends whose parents were from different islands in the Caribbean, but I didn't really appreciate it until I went there to see it for myself. It absolutely changed my life for the better.

We must be worthy for his purpose though! Not ours, because he says boast not, of yourselves. We must live accordingly. He's coming back soon, to judge and right the wrong! Amen. Grenada is a beautiful island within itself. Thank yuu so much, for capturing the devastation of Hurricane Beryl. God has grace still. He's still showing signs for all, to be aware of his prophecy. His sacred law of the Ten Commandments. Amen. Abide, take heed, be obedient, repent and be saved. We have to be ready for, his return. I'm from the 50's era throughout in NY. Of the 5 boroughs, Brooklyn, I grew up there. Born in Washington DC, early bygone era. NY was quaint like Vermont Maine. Nostalgia! But very close family friends, & their people were around mine always. Every ethnicity of the Caribbean was with me. I have relatives of various Caribbean heritage, Latino, Haitian French, Philippine, Asian, Native American, etc. Love ❤️ the gratification back then, when certain things were quite different. God is our salvation always, I grew up very spiritual, knowing who he is period. Not of Him! Amen. Praying without ceasing, for God to intercede this. Which has come before us. Grenada and other places as such, we must keep strong in.our faith. Some of us survived Hurricane Sandy, one of my friends survived Katrina! Amen! The Red Cross confirmed her. Thank God!
