## Caption

Aerial footage from parts of St Elizabeth shows the extent of the devastation left behind by powerful Category 5 Hurricane Melissa. 🌪️💔

The island’s breadbasket parish took a severe hit, with widespread flooding, damaged roofs, and downed power lines. Recovery and assessment efforts are now underway.

Most communities remain without electricity, which may make it difficult to reach loved ones. 🙏🏽💛💚🖤
