Marvanine Anderson and her seven-year-old son, Khalique Campbell, are grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, which devastated their home in Retrieve, Hanover. The Category 5 hurricane, which struck last month, left their house precariously balanced on unstable columns, with Khalique’s bedroom completely destroyed. For 24 hours during the storm, Anderson and her son huddled in their kitchen, listening to the relentless wind and water eroding their land. The trauma lingers, as Khalique remains fearful of the storm’s return, often asking his mother if Melissa is coming back.
