The most powerful hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean made landfall as it battered the Caribbean Islands moving west as a Category 5 storm of wind and rain. Winds exceeding 151 mph were recorded as the eye passed over Barbuda and Antiqua before the instrument stopped working. It has been reported the nations, although heavily damaged, have survived their brush with Hurricane Irma.
According to Wednesday’s Metro News, the eye of Hurricane Irma passed over Barbuda early in the morning, and local residents have reported phone lines are down thus limiting communication. Debris flying around Antiqua had hopefully kept people hunkered down in their homes or in shelters. As the storm closed in and officials urged all citizens to seek protection, the words “May God protect us all” ended the announcement.
All electricity has been knocked out, and France has requisitioned planes to send in emergency food and water rations.
