In Every Storm and Every Rebuilding-Give Thanks for Life When Hurricane Melissa-one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the Atlantic-devastated Westmoreland, Jamaica, darkness covered the parish. Yet within two hours, one man stood as a beacon of light, sharing with the world what had unfolded in his beloved community. Give Thanks for Life: How I Survived Hurricane Melissa is a gripping story of resilience, faith, and gratitude. In this heartfelt reflection, Keith Wedderburn-author and owner of Bluefields Organic Farm-shares hard-won lessons about nature, preparation, community, and the miracle of survival. Melissa did more than flatten houses; she stirred memories and tested the foundations of a family that had survived storms long before this one. Readers will discover the remarkable journey of Bluefields Organic Farm, built by a couple who were once homeless with their two-week-old daughter, and later created a symbol of hope for an entire community. Though the farm suffered over JMD 15 million (USD 94,000) in damage, it became a refuge when 98% of Belmont and Bluefields lost their homes. A family once without shelter became the shelter for many. This book is a powerful testament that, no matter the storm, Give Thanks for Life
