LOOP NEWS is reporting that Carriacou was FLATTENED IN HALF AN HOUR!

Actually:
https://caribbean.loopnews.com/content/ ... que-710267

Prime Minister of Grenada Dickon Mitchell says Category 4 Hurricane Beryl flattened Carriacou in half an hour as reports coming out the sister isles are of widespread devastation on Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

There are also several reports of damage on mainland Grenada.

Beryl made landfall on the island of Carriacou around 11 am on Monday. The prime minister says there are currently no reports of injuries or loss of life.

However, he was informed by Minister for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs Tevin Andrews, that there is devastation all around.

Reports coming out of Carriacou are of extensive storm surge, loss of roofs and damage to buildings. There is no electricity on any of the sister islands and communication is also difficult.

Prime Minister Mitchell hopes to start damage assessment later today to begin the process to recovery.

In the meantime, the prime minister has instructed the Housing Authority to make available to citizens of Carriacou and Petite Martinique, the Chinese built affordable homes so anyone without a roof over their heads can have immediate access to the site for temporary housing.

The Minister of Finance as well as the Minister for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs have been instructed to identify local suppliers on Carriacou who have stock such as plywood, tarpaulins and water etc, to make them immediately available to mount recovery efforts.

Mitchell says as soon as it safe to do so he will journey to Carriacou to conduct an assessment and give a report to the nation.

On mainland Grenada, several reports of damage have also been received with roofs being blown off, including the roof of the Central Police Station on The Carenage. The roof of the Mt Gay Hospital was also damaged with steps taken to evacuate patients to a lower floor.

People occupying shelters have been asked to continue to hunker down as the State of Emergency remains in place.
