This Is The Situation In OLD HARBOUR BAY, JAMAICA 🇯🇲

#jamaica #travel #carribean #island
Everybody welcome back to another vlog and here i am with ‪@Yahmantv‬ a KZbinr from here in Jamaica and today we take a look at the aftermath of the hurricane in Spanish town as well as old harbour. These communities seem to have been damaged by the hurricane but the Jamaican spirit is very strong and resilient they are already back at it trying to fix up their homes. This community is important to Kingston because it is a fishing village and that is how many of these people earn a living.. let’s say a prayer and hope things get back to normal fairly soon.
If you’d like to book a tour with a trusted local, please do contact ‪@Yahmantv‬ this will send you over to his channel.

Good video to bring some awareness, I believe people in Kingston don't understand the severe impact of the Hurricane.

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

I think a small idea but yea not a big one

[@kooliecurlz93]

No they don’t, some have been saying some very insensitive things. Praying for everyone affected by the hurricane.

I love this video, showing us what Jamaica is like after the hurricane. I landed safely back home from Jamaica yesterday (with a few extra passengers, flight full) from St Ann, who still has no power. Was my first ever hurricane and was very scary, as the windy was very powerful and noisy.

😍Ahhhh, sincere good wishes to all.Speedy recovery 😇 Try to connect with Serpentine(a) before leaving Jamaica. I’m sure she would appreciate it. Visit the place in Ocho Rios where there is fire in the water. Also where there is a glow in the water at nights. Stay as long as you want. I’m enjoying your videos. 🌞👍🏽🌝

A lot of people down bad I was supposed to travel there this Wednesday I canceled it. Because so I can help some of this people

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

[@Kofi.86]

One thing JPS must consider is to run the electric wires underground instead of have poles because with the tropical country we live in we will continue to get these types of weather. With poles in the air will cause problems. Other parishes is devastated especially the rural area. St Elizabeth, Manchester, Clarendon, Mandeville

[@giniolamy]

Exactly, like in Florida I was just thinking about that in my sleep

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

I agree

How is it over there right now

[@jojoyah_1236]

The people need to stop building these wooden structures. Jamaica is getting more hurricanes than ever before. They need to do something different. Some of these homes were made of bricks from decades ago. Living so near the ocean may be deteriorating the bricks.

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

I agree

Spanish Town is rough man

It is lol

Blessed Sunday, I never understand when I see people build and live in certain places (below dams, near volcanoes etc...🤔🤦🏾‍♀🙏🏾❤

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

It’s not a time for negativity

[@KamilleFerguson]

@@PoJoTheBackPacker It is not negative to not understand why our fellow human beings do certain things. I am not just talking about "JAMAICA" as a whole either.

[@kooliecurlz93]

@@KamilleFergusonhmm I think sometimes people don’t have a choice tbh. You heard that they are fishermen so they usually need to be up early and out most of the day fishing… so convenience. A lot of people have also lived in the same community or even house their entire lives so for them to move isn’t practical. Global warming has drastically affected nature so a lot of them events aren’t usually so bad etc. there are a lot of factors. I think it would be more appropriate to send them well wishes instead of trying to figure out why they chose to live near water (not uncommon for an Island) and every human is deserving of a place to live, even if it’s by large bodies of water. Don’t judge too harshly because none of us are ‘safe’.

old harbour is a disappointment, imagine have the sea and natural beauty and not using it to your advantage for tourism and hotel

[@PoJoTheBackPacker]

Appreciate your comment unfortunately it’s not my place to have an opinion (not that you asked) appreciate you watching 🫡

[@MissDorIsHere]

Because locals need to make a living too and people need fish to cook! That's OBVIOUSLY a fishing village and not a pretty beach. Anyways mind your business. Not everything should be about tourists

[@antoniaPrince]

I am from Old Harbour and by extention Old Harbour Bay. If you know your history you'd understand the establishment of Old Harbour Bay and that it is actually a fishing village and the largest in Jamaica. Due to controversial "activities" the proposal for tourism have been met with question marks. It has been looked into but just like anything you need risk assessment and I am assuming it was done hence no further development. However, tourist still do visit typically people from the diaspora to buy seafood similar to hellshire plus there is a beach area for swimming aside from the fishing village. So is the people's fishing village a disappointment when you haven't tried to figure out why certain things aren't done or being done??
