The roadway leading from Dolphin Bay to St Margaret's Bay, for most part, has been littered with downed trees.

Meanwhile, several communities in Portland are now without electricity.

They include Bryan's Bay, Boundbrook, Port Antonio, Anchovy, St. Margaret's Bay, Hope Bay, and Black Hill and Buff Bay.
