Flooding and landslides in St. Ann

The heavy rainfall, which has been affecting several parts of the island since yesterday, has resulted in flooding and landslides in some sections of St. Ann.



The rains which continued throughout the night into this morning in the parish, has rendered the busy Fern Gully Main Road in Ocho Rios impassable forcing traffic to use alternative routes.



There are reports of flooding on sections of Main Street in the town and a massive landslide in the pimento Walk area.



According to one resident, his house has been severely affected by the landslides.



There are also reports of flooding along the North Coast Highway especially in the Runaway Bay area.



Motorists are being advised to proceed with care in the vicinity of the Shell Service Station on the Runaway Bay Main Road.
