Cornwall College principal fears catastrophe with more rainy days ahead
WESTERN BUREAU: Heavy rains on Tuesday flooded a classroom at Cornwall College in Montego Bay, St James, forcing administrators to relocate students as the 130-year-old boys’ school continues to grapple with the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. Principal Michael Ellis confirmed that one classroom in the Upper School had suffered significant roof leaks, while other rooms remain at risk, with damaged roof sections still covered by temporary tarpaulins. The incident comes as Jamaica braces for several days of unstable weather associated with a trough.
