These poignant photos, taken three days post-Hurricane Ivan, reveal the extensive damage to the Hope River area in Jamaica, particularly at Gordon Town and Tavern. The images depict partially washed-away bridges, significant erosion, and homes reduced to rubble. Observers can note the destruction of the riverbank, including the loss of thirteen houses and parts of the local church. While there were no casualties, the community's lives were profoundly affected, illustrating the devastating impact of natural disasters on vulnerable regions.
