Hurricane Beryl has now hit Mexico and looks likely to hit parts of Texas too. The storm has left a path of devastation through the Caribbean. Many deaths have been reported on numerous island nations.

Jamaica was one of the countries to experience the brunt of the storm on Thursday, and now Jamaicans are coming to terms with the damage.

Host Peter O’Dowd speaks to David Rose, a business writer with the Jamaica Observer in the capital of Kingston, to hear how he has fared.
