STORYLINE:
Alance Wisdom got inside her home just in time to watch the ceiling of her front room collapse.

As the rain rushed in, a violent wind ripped at the roof, piece by piece.

“Everything just fell,” said Wisdom, 79, of the day in early July when Hurricane Beryl, the strongest July Atlantic hurricane on record, skirted Jamaica’s southern coast. “Before dark, everything was on the ground.”

The flooding destroyed nearly all of Wisdom’s belongings in the small, brightly-painted home she’s lived in for more than 30 years.
