CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A Charleston-area woman and a group of friends are trying to navigate getting back to the Lowcountry from Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa.

Dacquin Curry and her friends flew to Jamaica for a wedding, where the hurricane hit the country on Tuesday.

The celebration in paradise turned into a scary situation once Hurricane Melissa hit the island.

She and the group experienced panic and caved-in ceilings, but were prepared with help from her resort’s staff.

Curry says they are physically fine, but the hurricane has taken a mental toll on them.

“You don’t have the comforts of home. Right, you’re in a place you never been before, but thankfully we’re in a place we felt secure enough where we had enough resources to survive the days after the storm,” Curry said.
