Katrina. Rita. Wilma. The Weather Channel is practically screeching that this is the first season with three major hurricanes. I drove through a section of Clarendon on Monday, and saw houses and schools with water up to the windows. Jamaica, while not hit directly by any of the Big Three, has experienced continuous rain for maybe about two straight weeks and flooding for one week due to Wilma. It is actually raining right now.
I was asked if builders and planners do not consider these aspects when building and constructing, even laying out large schemes (some of these are in the low-lying regions of Portmore and are now simply under water). To tell the truth, I think that most of us do not.
