Now the rest of the regions waits with bated breath as the hurricane season continues. But will Belize City survive a category 5? Minister Cordel Hyde says he's not hopeful.

"Category 5? Only God can help us if we get a category 5. I mean I'm no expert and I pray to God we never reach there but from what we saw with Beryl and St Vincent and the Grenadines then anything above a category 3 is a nightmare situation, I don't know if anybody can stay here but I'm no expert and let's hope that we don't have to confront that any time in the near future."
