Mustard Seed Communities - Jamaica hit hard by Tropical Storm Gustav Nearly a hurricane, Tropical Storm Gustav swamped Jamaica at the end of last week. It was a slow moving tropical storm when it hit Jamaica and the downpour of continuous rain and heavy winds wreaked havoc.

Many of Mustard Seed Communities' homes in the southeast of Jamaica sustained wind and water damage, but Sophie's Place, located in the mountains of Saint Andrew in the community of Gordon Town received significant damage.
