TAMPA - Tampa businessman David Luckain was born in Jamaica. He was there visiting when Hurricane Melissa hit the Island on October 28th and says he's never experienced anything like it.

What they're saying:

"It was horrific," says Luckain. "I've been nonchalant when hurricanes came to Florida because I figured in Jamaica it was going to be the same thing, but it was a whole different experience."

Luckain and his wife survived uninjured, but flights were scarce. They had to fly to the Cayman Islands to get back to Tampa.

Luckain is presenting a benefit Reggae concert on Sunday, November 9, at his Wha Gwaan Jamaican Restaurant at 12910 W Hillsborough Ave. in Tampa . It begins at 4 p.m.
