The hurricane swept across the western parishes of the island on the 29th October 1933. The storm gained hurricane force winds of 80 to 100 miles per hour at many places, in its progress, either at sea, along the near southern coast regions of Southern Manchester, St. Elizabeth, and Westmoreland or when it traversed the country from a point to the immediate west of Sav.la.Mar, coursing in a north-easterly direction to the eastern border line of Hanover, near to the mouth of the Great River.

- Government meteorologist J.F. Brennan (5-6) reported that banana crops were 70% destroyed
- The northern side of the island where the banana cultivation was most extensive suffered significant loss due to continuous winds and waves
- High waves also caused serious damage to piers and wharf buildings near to the sea front at Montego Bay, Morant Bay, Savanna- la- mar, Port Antonio among others
- Mains roads, especially those along the sea front, were heavily damaged and repair cost was estimated at £50,000
