Newlyweds from London, Ont. are trapped in Jamaica, as Category 5 hurricane Beryl approaches.
“We got married, and we took off for our honeymoon on Monday, so we were doing a Monday to Monday,” said Jeff Cain, who is still in Jamaica with his newlywed wife Amanda. “We were supposed to come back July 1”.
The couple was not able to get home due to the WestJet strike and flight cancelations, and now the hurricane is approaching the island.
As islanders work to cut down trees and board up buildings, it means the Cains will not be home to see family and friends anytime soon.
“They are officially closing the Montego Bay Airport tonight, so we're officially stranded in Jamaica until after this hurricane," said Cain.
The extra stay is costing them money out of pocket, as they say WestJet offered about $300 financial compensation.
