Can anyone update me on the road conditions out of Montego Bay from the airport to Negril after Montego was flooded out last night? Flights are all on tome but how are the roads, we are waiting for family to come to Negril today. Thanks in advance. lacdeloo
The flooding happened in the usual downtown flood zones. It looks like rain again today so more of the same.
It might slow down the overall traffic a bit, but it has not flooded the road from the airport to Negril. Maybe give them an extra half-hour or so...
Thanks Rob the maids at Rayon said that they are working on the drainage ditches in Mo Bay to allow for fast drainage. Agin thanks for the reply have a nice day. lacdeloo
Anyone there now to provide an update on the status of mobay and Negril
We arrive sat. Afternoon just wondering what to expect .
Thanks for any info
Noticed they were calling for another 3-5" of rain tonight
Was just outside and saw the stars. That generally signals a clearing of the weather.Quote:

Three to five inches of rain in Negril would cause a national weather rain advisory to be issued. None are currently issued.
Um, I am here now... Please read above.Quote:

Don't know unless you ask.
YouTube videos of mobay don't look great. Hope all are ok!
Negril isn't MoBay... Only had light rain here today, and on the dog's walk, looks to be clearing.
Thanks Rob !
Hearing rumbling of very distant thunder, but still seeing some stars... If we get some boomers and rain, I will post it!
Thank you Rob! I know some folks flying in tomorrow hope all is good.Quote:

Holy Moly have not seen flooding in montego bay like that before. Arriving there Tuesday all should be cleaned up by then. But the merchants will be hurting.
Big hit on the cruise ships when they come in......just saying
The road heading into MoBay...

Traffic nearing downtown slowed things down a bit. The downtown streets were closed but traffic was still trying to go there. The traffic cops were not amused. At the airport:

Looks Great Rob but not in the flood zone.
Just saying..
Cheers!
Be there Tuesday
Hard to say what it looked like today as all the roads leading Downtown to the "flood zones" we're closed to traffic.Quote:

Definitely a sensational video. I saw the original. This sensationalized version repeats the same segments over and over.
But clean up in the effected area are being helped by the road closures as mentioned.
Visitors heading from or to the airport do not go on the roads where the repeated video was shot. All the water in those video clips has long since drained.
Not sure what the point of this sensationalized video is since visitors don't use the roads...
The open "hip strip" low road was the fastest way to and from the airport today.Quote:

YouTube shows what happened during the rain. We went to and from the airport today.
Thanks Rob for easing our mind.
Taxi picking us up in 45, soon come!
Visitors do go to the Riu resorts, don't they? That area flooded, that was the point of my posting the video.Quote:
