Yes I know Beryl did significant damage.How many of us witnessed Hurricane Gilbert?If we overcame Gilbert,we can overcome Beryl.And let's thank God the eye didn't pass across the island.JAMAICA LAND WE LOVE!

[@STRAWYB]

We have so much to be thankful for. This is just a fraction of the damage that was done by Gilbert. We are very early in the hurricane season. Let us keep our guards up. Keep all your hurricane supplies in place. We still believe God is good.
