Video update here: EMO Update 8.00 a.m. - Oct. 31. The Minister is joined by the Michelle Pitcher of the BWS and Mr. Noel Martin, the DRRM National Disaster Coordinater.
Initial EMO reports indicate that there are a number of fallen trees and debris, and downed electrical wires and utility poles across the island.
