The Damage in Placencia

There was considerable damage to the infrastructure on the Placencia Peninsula. The quake created what have been described, and what these pictures show, as major cracks on the village’s main street.

The damage is mainly to the area in front of the Belize Bank and more importantly the road leading to the village’s main dock. There was also some damage to the Belize Bank building.

There is also what pretty major damage to the Placencia Fishermen Cooperative’s building and its dock. That is worrying because the lobster season opens on June 15th. The seashore dive shop next door has also been damage and so has the dock for the Shell gas station.
