📍 Melissa Aftermath Update | Priory, St Ann

“It’s like a lady having a baby. You want that final moment to finish… and it’s like it’s forever. It couldn’t finish. Eight o’clock, nine o’clock, ten o’clock, twelve o’clock, one o’clock — we hearing the same wooing and singing…”

That’s how Priory’s famous pudding man described the long, frightening hours he spent inside his shop as Hurricane Melissa lashed St Ann. 

Despite losing parts of his roof, he gave thanks for a nearby hardware owner who stepped in with bolts and roofing so he could reopen and serve hot meals to residents in need.
