Mearsville, #Jamaica
The remains of a destroyed house stand in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa in Mearsville. The Jamaican prime minister, Andrew Holness, said that the hurricane, the strongest-ever storm to hit the country’s shores, caused damage to homes and key infrastructure equivalent to roughly 28% to 32% of last year’s gross domestic product.

Innerhalb von 24 Stunden entsteht in einem Land ein Schaden, der fast ein Drittel des Bruttoinlandsprodukts ausmacht. Umgerechnet auf das BIP von Deutschland wären das mehr als 1.000 Milliarden Euro.
