- On 1st July 2024 hurricane Beryl made landfall as a category 4 destroying the sister islands of Carriacou and Petit Martinique.
On the mainland of Grenada most of the damages to houses were on the northern side of the island, but there were loads of fallen trees all over the island.
Here is a look at what it was like driving in the north of the island assessing the damages.

No words can ease the horror, except I hope all the help humanly possible comes to those beautiful islands
Help we shall. Thanks
So Sad, Thank you for Posting this video Dr Carter Vet. I hope international help comes soon for these people who lost everything.
💙💛💚
While I was on the ground there have been many aid organisations assessing and come already distributing aid, so lets hope this continues.
The island of Trinidad and its people have been sending aid since Tuesday and continues to do so. Caribbean islands has insurance coverage for such events. I am sure there will be international assistance as well, but what is most needed now is being supplied by Trinidad and Tobago.

I do know Samaritans Purse should be there by now. It's a very good place to give $$ unlike the Red Cross.
Wow, this video is even more graphic than the others I saw 😢 Thank you for the up close and detailed report. It's heartbreaking
You're very welcome. On the ground was a different level
I said a prayer for those affected by hurricane Beryl, may God give all those affected the strength to get over this horror and may they all come out of this stronger.
They will definitely come out stronger, it's the only choice they have
I left there just last Wednesday, and you passed right by where I stayed. Shockingly, it is in seemingly good condition in the midst of all that destruction. I can say with all certainty now that I will never value material possessions again, especially over life. They truly mean nothing, at least not as much as the family. Only family will stay back and rebuild. God bless them and keep them safe.
Yeah, focus on life, because the house and car can go just like that.
It seems so surreal to see such a beautiful, colorful place destroyed by high destructive winds from a hurricane like Beryl. The music playing makes it more surrealistic, devastating to the lives of so many people affected. Life is prescious. You did a fantastic job bringing this to the whole world to see and feel. Help will come. It might take years to make all that devastation go away, but the teamwork of others it will be a beautiful, colorful once again. Trust in the Lord and his FATHER. Amen!!!!
The color will return. I hope the spirit of the people can return fast as well.
@bmhtv2067 nothing last for ever heaven and earth shall pass away but the word of God abides forever 🙏
This is so so sad. May God be with His people.
💙💛💚
It is sad yes!
Father, Bring Healing, Peace, Comfort And Financial Help To these people. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
all those are needed yes
Amen in Jesus name!
That’s so brave of you to film all of this to try and help the people on the island. I hope that they get lots of assistance and can recover.
Help is getting to them and more are on the way
As a survivor of Katrina, a lot of things was done wrong, all damaged material should have been taken to a site for reusable material, people who had nothing could have used a lot of material to use to rebuild till they could afford to replace it, even damaged boats, parts and stuff could have been reused, cars , parts could have been reused, salvage ever thing you can to help the rebuild or it's gonna take 20 to 30 years, the gulf coast still has signs of katrina..be smart, start a recycle program for people in need..
yes I agree. They should put things at a central location to clear the roads, but have it accessible for people to utilise usable materials.
That looks rough. It will take a while to rebuild. We went through Katrina here in Mississippi in 2005. It took ten years before it even started to look normal, and about five more to return to normal.
Yes, it will take a while to rebuild. Ivan did significant damage to the island of Grenada in 2004 as well, but we recovered.
So hopefully we can bring back Carriacou in a timely manner.
Thanks again!! It is really sad to see the extent of the destruction.
It is so sad yes
@@drcartervetplease alert your viewers on how can we help inn an official capacity...go fund me, shipping donations etc
💙💛💚
I am very sadden by the devastation of Carriacou. If I was rich, I would build new homes for everyone. I have clothes and other things I could donate if someone can let me know how I can do that.
Sending love and hope, my heart is with you all.
Hi i am i am in the caribbean. Please check the St Vincent and Grenadines government websites for donations. Yes it is very tragic what happened to these lovely island people....my island was spared🙏🙏
I put a link to where you can donate in the description. It is from a reputable NGO on the ground in Grenada that also does projects in Carriacou.
The Grenada government website also have an area for donations
💙💛💚
@@dellchica2373💙💛💚
Thank you for taking the video. We sailed in to Tyrell Bay about 10 years ago and thought it was a lovely place. We hope that this lovely island can recover. Our hearts go out to all the residents.
I hope they recover, I'll be helping them along the way
Spent a lot of time in Carriacou as cruisers during Covid and made lots of friends along the way. Difficult to see our easy way way of life while there has been made hard for locals and the community of boaters that stayed. It always takes time, but it will be 🔥 again.
Take ❤️.!
They will bounce back
Please take note , if ya'll not rebuilding with cement blocks and concrete roof you will have the same devastating problem. Wood and zink is not the way to go as you can see..Wishing you all the best in recovering.
thanks, there were a few wood and zinc that withstood the hurricane while the wall structures fell. I think it comes down to how well you build and if you build with the primary intention of hurricane proofing.
@@drcartervet Ok
Thank you Dr Carter for bringing us this great footage on Carriacou's devastating conditions. Hurricane Beryl ravished these beautiful islands. Thank God for the life of the people.
You're welcome. They have life and hopefully they regroup and rebuild
Thank you for the donation link, I hope it helps, Dr. Carter. Devastating and heart-breaking.
You’re welcome and thank you 🙏
Praying for divine intervention for everyone there! I'm shocked that there isn't any aid in site, as of yet! My heart goes out to all! Thank God you made it thru! Much Love & Prayers your way!!!
Thanks
@@drcartervet You're so welcome! My sincere condolences to all! God Bless & Watch Over you & yours! May God meet your every need, expeditiously!!!
This is truly so hard to watch as I know wonderful people who live in Carriacou. The emotional and financial losses are unimaginable, and I will make sure I donate to the Red Cross. So far away, it is impossible for me to physically help any other way -but I do pray!
Every little bit of help counts, regardless the distance, thanks
So saddened to see our island destroyed, so 😢😢 Lord, please help our people come back better 🙏🏽 come on the US. The whole of Carriacou needs aid now!!! I'm thinking of you all 🤎
💙💛💚
💙💛💚
We should all come together and help
Yes, indeed, and we are all pulling together to get aid to you ASAP. The US is close by, and they are a huge country with money... they need to send in specialists to rebuild the infrastructure, the army, or whomever... in order to get things done quicker. We don't want more lives lost and suffering due to the horrendous conditions 😢 🙏🏽
This level of damage is just unbelievable, comparable only to what I know of Katrina in Louisiana and Mississippi and what I've seen of Maria, also Dorian. Everything shredded in what was it 30 min of full force winds? A tropical storm to a cat5 in 24 hours?!!! The world needs to pay attention because Humans have taken one of the most destructive forces on earth (hurricanes) and made them into super monsters with climate change. Small island nations should not be the ones to pay for this. Looking at these buildings I cant even imagine how anyone survived. They will need all the help the world can give. My ❤ and prayers go out to all affected.
This one grew very fast yes. very strange, hopefully this is not the new normal
@@drcartervet I hope not too, but I remeber (80's kid ) hurricanes had a 4-5 day warning , you at least had some time to prepare according to the strength of the storm. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore. That hot ocean water makes them explode unpredictably.
So heartbreaking to see. We as Carribbean neighbours need to all help in every way we can. We are from the Cayman Islands please let us know how we can help and we certainly will. Much love from Cayman.
There are a couple of links in the description below, and a many other gofundme links around. but the ones on this video is guaranteed to go directly to the affected people and animals.
Your sound track helps to feel the extent of the hurricane damage it's like the voice of the Island crying .
yeah I wanted something fitting with the mood
Devastating and heart breaking people are standing by waiting to help but I understand we must be patient and wait on the govt to get things in place to be able to receive help and in the meantime what do they people do where can they go? This is very sad but hopefully things will get better and better to wait til the hurricane season is over before rebuilding.
Those who can were already cleaning debris from their houses and attempting to barricade the damaged parts. many are in shelters or at neighbours taking a night's rest.
Complete destruction of the Islands I know the areas and some of the residents on the Island, I visited the island from 1960 onwards, this condition is not easy to bear, May God Bless the people to overcome this.
The rebuilding process has begun
It's a real disaster and looks like a horror movie...😢 I hope that local people will find a strength to rebuild it all 🙏
So heartbreaking. It looks like an F5 tornado came through and then a bomb went off. Praying for all the folks affected.
It does look like a war zone yes. There are usually small tornadoes within the hurricane so that is why it looks like. that
YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB 👍 I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS AND DESTRUCTION OF YOUR COUNTRY..😢😢
Thanks, we will rebuild
We need to rethink how to build houses now, with climate change and mother nature, I'm thinking concrete/ cement roof
Yes, we built a few hurricane proof houses just after Ivan hit us in 2004, but in recent times they would have strayed from that practice.
The Climate change narrative is BS when they have Weather Weapons as the United States does have Weather Weapons. The World Economic Forum said "You'll own nothing and be happy " ,this is the Agenda 21/30 .
My heart goes out to the people of Carriacou. I sailed here many times 💔💔
It's sad yes
@@drcartervet I am seeing much help being gathered for Carriacou in Grenada.
Word can't express what these people of carriacou is going through lost everything but thank be to God they have their life speared
The more of them I speak to they all seem to be grateful to still be here.
I cant bear this. It is to hard man. Poor Kayaks. I thought I should a go back to my old beloved Island. But I shouldent. Pray pls and help if u can. x
lets hope for a speedy recovery
Looks like St Martin after cat five Irma Sept 6th 2017, still have chills thinking about it.
We have organised a boatload of essential supplies heading your way, canned food, water, baby foods, nappies etc.
Bon courage
Yes I was on the ground. doing relief in the BVI after Irma, it looks very similar to that here now.
Morning to the people of the island especially to the s.d.a happy sabbath parying that god will reach.out to u all it sad
Thanks
10:14 , says it all. Only the steps are left standing. No trace of a foundation remains.
Some houses have even the pillars missing
@@drcartervet ...Very sad to see. My area in Jamaica, St-Elizabeth got hit hard...But nothing compares to what I see in your video. That's is total lost of entire community.
@@bisaiah9797 I am happy that you guys did not get hit as hard
They should divert 10 billion to help the island and help all the stores that are disappearing in United States and help the American people
I'm sad fir all their loss may God sens people armies and lots of help into thus area that is my prayer Dear Heavenly Fatrt please send relief and help to this island and people Msy Gid strengthen each o e in Jesus Precious Name ❤❤❤ Julia Zook Lancaster pa
Thanks. Help will come.
Wow wow wow
yeah
I would like to see the commercial strip starting at the Alexis down to the Lambi Queen . Perhaps I missed it but I did come in at the start of your very welcome video.
its down at the end of the video
Am speechless 😮😮😢😢
it is hard to swallow yes
Heartbreaking.. 🙏
it is yes
Very similar devastation to what hurricane Irma (2017) did in other parts of the Caribbean, heart breaking for the locals.
Yes I did relief in BVI after Irma, it was very similar to this.
Oh my goodness!! This is so sad!
Very sad yes
This is very hard to watch - just seeing that one coconut tree had me in tears. Luckily we've heard from my Mum in Mount Royal, but not sure how family and friends are coping or how they recover. Like my Mum who is on her own and is in her 80s, this will have a long term traumatic effect on everyone.
Yes, hopefully they are coping.
Cell coverage with Digicel was back up yesterday, and one area had coverage with Flow, is at least they can communicate with family and friends now.
Looking at coconuts being barren and blown apart by the winds give you one of the most sombering feelings after the storm
When you see coconut trees decimated, that was a very powerful storm, vegetation is completely gone.
A sad day for a beautiful island and it's people. Stay Strong.
Horrific
it is
This is so disturbing, this beautiful island
yeah, but with work it will bounce back
Yall need to post how the outside world can help now that we have seen the complete devastation.
There are many reputable organisations that are helping and going to help, I will post links in the description as I get them.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Individyually, yes, there is destruction. On an island level devastated but no destroyed. Carriacou will rise from the wreckage.
they will rise yes
So Sad x
it is sad yes
Please pray in th name of Heavenly Savior.
H. Andrew did this to South Florida
I was a tiny infant back then
What is the purpose of the painted vehicle tires on that fence wall?
And that's your concern, WOW
some people recycled used tyres to makeup a Blackwall...so most likely that
Even living in paradise can come at a price.
trouble in paradise
😢🙏 want to help!
there are lots of avenues to help currently. links to where you can make donations are in the description below.
I remember Maria devastating blow to Puerto Rico. U guys have a long road head of u. Sorry I know how bad it is. But remember ur alive and can rebuild .
you know the question I wonder that I have never heard a good answer to? What do they do to clean the place up. I mean there is garbage EVERYWHERE that cant be used. It is just trash. I saw this live years ago on the soggy dollar webcam when it hit there. The place was devastated. 2 years later it is clean and you cant tell really. (other than there are no tall trees anymore)
that's a good question.
What I think they should do is designate an area to put all the debris and then hire the locals to separate them into sections with lumber and wood, galvanise, wires and lines, and then trash.
most of these can me recycled or utilised for fuel, the rest can be shipped down to the landfill on the mainland via slow barges.
Bring up some trucks and tractors and clean out the roads in a few days, then sort the trash and ship them out to the mainland...the same barge bringing up building materials can bring those things down.
with a good effort it will be cleared.
Additionally do a soup kitchen to feed all who is working, so that way the local population can get meals as well as some money to rebuild their homes.
Is there any food, water, or medical supplies for these people? It seems there is so much needed for this island to rebuild but they need the basics first.
yes, relief work have already started and more will be on its way.
Did all the people evacuate afterwards?
nah, some are in shelters or at neighbours, others went back home and tried to barricade.
Total Mass destruction
yes, but it is time to rebuild
Can you provide a list of organizations that there helping so donations can be made?
There are a few on the ground but I am not sure how far from the ground your donation will have to go.
My vet practice have a GoFundMe for the recovery efforts of animals in Carriacou; the link is in the bi0.
The NGO I volunteer/work with Ocean Spirits also have a GoFundMe set up to help rebuild the houses of our volunteers and others in the north of Grenada and some in Carriacou (where the funds can reach); the link for that is also in the bio.
Both organisations are on the ground in Grenada and established 10+ and 20+ years ago.
If you want to donate through the government portal, there is an avenue in pay.gov.gd to take donations toward hurricane relief.
There are other organisations on the ground, but I can't tell how much of your donation will get to the people affected.
Those I suggested will go directly towards the cause because they are on the ground and from Grenada.
If you're in America, Samaritans Purse is already down there delivering aid .
@@silentweaponsquietwars1703 Saw some volunteers helping the Samaritans Purse effort.
Where does this island receive most of its goods and construction materials from?
Where everyone else get thrie
Most of those will come from the mainland of Grenada.
@@drcartervet Thanks. Does Grenada produce building materials?
@@francismarion6400 They produce roofing material but the hardware stores are usually well stocked with building materials.
@@drcartervet Who will fund the collection and removal of all this rubbish, and where is it taken, is it barged off the island? Where I'm from we have room to sort this, but Carriacou seems rather small. Thanks in advance.
I only sad for the wild life
What
the wildlife on that island are resilient. I saw a few iguanas hanging about, and the birds are still around in their numbers
What about Lauriston?
there was a small bit of it featured just after the Paradise beach clip
Is there more of that village?I'm looking for a particular house..the people were my neighbors when I spent time there ...very nice people...andi don't have any form of contact with them@@drcartervet
How long years needed for them to recover from this disaster 😢
10 to 15 years. But, the world will forget what happened here in a week.
It will depend on the people on the ground and those making the policies... The psychological images may be even worst than the damages to these structures.
I agree that psychological damages are the ones that last the most though I am from a place frequently hit by tropical cyclones at all times of the year
@@juliusnepos6013 where are you from?
@@juliusnepos6013 , I didn't realize it when it was happening, but Katrina broke me and my wife emotionally. We got 23 feet of water in our home. Our lives were turned upside down and we went from a great marriage to divorced in four years. Don't hesitate to get some mental therapy after something like that.
You Need Assistance x
lots of assistance yes
St Vincent et les Grenadines étant un paradis fiscal,est ce que les milliardaires qui y planquent leurs fortunes,mettront ils la main à la poche pour aider ces braves et pauvres gens???perso,j'ai de gros doutes,nous verrons....
I know there are some efforts already started up there
I Hope you brought up some food or water for them!!!And not just your “Camera”
Well we brought supplies, and I personally helped offload 6 trucks of food items, as well as help pack them in distribution bags...
@@drcartervet Thanks Brother, you see what we as a people will be dealing with, May the most High have mercy on you and our brothers and sisters there in Carriacou and all the islands that "Hurricane Beryl " destroyed
Tell them to go to God and stop calling on the devil 😈
Lets all support them in their time of need
If you are not the president of the USA in 2024, what dah F do you do, from Australia in 2024?
Every bit counts, loads of crowdfunded initiatives around that brings aid directly to the people on the ground.
Don't worry Trump will send you paper towels like he did when Puerto Rico was demolished! 🤷♂️🤨
hahahahaha, we will rebuild
This was so sad to watch, while the president of the USA might be Donald Trump in 2025
