Nadine Dixon

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (CBS 58) – The owner of a restaurant in Milwaukee has returned to work after she was stuck in Jamaica during Hurricane Melissa.

Nadine Dixon owns MoBay Cafe in Walker’s Point, a business inspired by the food in the Caribbean and Jamaica.

Dixon and her brother, Shane Johnson, were in Jamaica for her grandmother’s funeral on Saturday, Oct. 25. Dixon’s flight back to the U.S. was cancelled because of the storm.

“It was a bittersweet moment that turned a bit bitter,” Dixon said.

During the hurricane, Dixon sheltered with her family at a hotel on the island’s north side.
