Tropical Storm Grace pounded Jamaica with heavy rain and wind after causing flooding in parts of Haiti, which is scrambling to deal with a major earthquake at the weekend that killed more than 1,400 people.

Grace, which is expected to become a hurricane by the time it hits Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula on Thursday, was by late morning about 177 kilometers east of Montego Bay with maximum sustained winds of 85km/h, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said. Higher gusts were reported.

Footage and images broadcast on social media showed downed trees and flooded roads, and several major arteries in Kingston were impassable, making it potentially hard for Jamaicans to get home in time for a 7 p.m. curfew under COVID-19 restrictions.
