Written bySugar Ray Thomas
The Jericho community in Linstead, St. Catherine, has been flooded as a result of the heavy downpour earlier today.
The situation resulted in some residents reportedly being marooned, leaving them concerned about their safety.
A river that runs through the community is also in spate.
Ascon Gooden, a resident of the community, explained that flooding in the area may be due to a retaining wall that was constructed over a year ago.
He is calling on the relevant authorities to address the situation.
