@@wilsonsmanz yes I am trying to correct that with my comments without offending anyone because she got my attention falsely. It’s click bait for views that’s all and it’s wrong to do. 98% of infrastructure well 100% of buildings were damaged …in Carriacou!! Grenada had damage but not to that extent!

@@chrisc1644 yes the title was totally false and that was deliberate. The anchors were just wrong but I don't think they were malicious. They heard the PM say that 95 or 98% of buildings in carriacou were damaged and they just thought it meant Grenada I guess, since they don't know about carriacou. I don't blame them but this channel who uploaded the video with this title is at fault

What a lovely lady. I'm sad for the people of Grenada and the adjoining islands. Unfortunately. Barbados has some damage also, but, it's not as catastrophic. I pray assistance will arrive on time before any further storms pass by, this being the season. God is Love.

Carriacou and petite Martinique island 98% severely destroyed!! Grenada main island got destroyed on the northern side which located closer to carriacou.

@Chrisc1644 it is not fake news, North = St.Patrick, West = St.Marks & St.Johns, East = St.Andrew these are the affected areas on the mainland. St.Patricks got the hardest hit in the mainland. Our sister islands Carriacou & Petite Martinique are 98% devasted by the passage of hurricane Beryl, they have to rebuild from scratch. This is factual news, get your information right before your emotional outburst causes negative consequences.

@@loviegrenadiangem792 I’m just trying to say that the island did not lose 98%percent of its buildings! Carriacou did!!! That is a fake title for click bait for views. That produces negative consequences as it frustrates people viewing who won’t return. I followed someone who drove the island of Grenada and said the south wasn’t as bad as the north and that seems correct. You must know of these other areas hit that wasn’t covered by the channel, that I don’t know about. Nothing is fake news just the title is all I’m saying. I’m donating whatever I can to help the situation and don’t want to minimize anything. I just don’t like fake titles on channels to get my attention and neither does anyone else. I deleted my comment though as wish to offend no one having gone through this to whatever extent. I love Grenada.

I am so proud of Nathifa Lewis. She was able to explain the confusion created by the anchors. Thanks for explaining. Mainland is safe but our sister isles that are damaged. Thanks Pix11 for rallying support for Grenada.

Stop the fake news! Grenada is not destroyed hardly any damage , it is the island of Carriacou and Petit Martinique which belong to a tri island nation including Greneda , but Grenada is not damage hardly

@@br2431 you all need to stop this nonsense in St.Patricks, St.Johns, St.Marks people homes are destroyed. The focus is on Carriacou & Petite Martinique because the major damage occurred there but the reality is the northern, western and eastern side of Grenada was affected by Beryl. Relief aid is being distributed by Nadma to St.Patricks, shelters are still occupied in St.Patricks. You all are being ignorant of that fact?! Jeez, stop it!!! Seven days i have no running water and i live in St.Andrew, GRENADA because of what Beryl did. You all need to stop and speak truth!!

@chrisc1644 29 күн бұрын

@@br2431 yes that is what I’m trying to say too. I watched a You Tube channel that drive the whole from south to north and explained the same thing. The north in St Patrick’s was hit harder than the south. The damage there although bad was nowhere near the other island’s devastation.

Yes, the title is misleading. Perhaps they're thinking back to Ivan. I believe it was then that 90+ percent of all structures were damaged or destroyed.

@@MADGUNSMONSTER no they weren’t they knew this had nothing to do with Ivan come on… They knew exactly what they were doing for views and it happens all the time it’s called “ CLICK BAIT” and they fooled me! I however knew better as Grenada is in my heart, I have travelled there multiple times so I followed the channels that took us on a tour of the island afterwards. I knew this was a fake headline and it was!!

That statement re 98% of Grenada (or Carriacou) has been destroyed by Beryls is BLATANTLY Inaccurate! Several Roofs and Roof Sheeting have been blown off due in part to sub-standard Construction, and the sheer force of the Winds! However, the buildings have remained structurally intact before the passage of the Hurricane!
