Four months after Hurricane Melissa sent floodwaters surging through sections of Phase 2 of The Estuary in Friendship, St James, several homeowners say they remain burdened with loss, displacement, and uncertainty as they await word on whether they will be allowed to return home. Residents contend that the flooding was exacerbated when a section of roadway collapsed, obstructing a primary drainage channel. Homes were left waterlogged, furniture destroyed, and mould spreading throughout interiors. Several families were forced out and left traumatised.
