El 90% de todas las estructuras y carreteras en el territorio de la isla caribeña de Barbuda han quedado "totalmente destruidas" por el huracán Irma, mientras no se ha podido contactar aún con los residentes desde la llegada del fenómeno natural, según el primer ministro de la isla, Gastón Browne. El ojo del huracán, que ya ha alcanzado la categoría 5, ha sacudido este miércoles la isla, que quedó incomunicada durante 12 horas.

Preliminary remarks on the passage of Hurricane Irma
6th September 2017
My first words must be of thanks.
Thanks to Almighty God in all his forms for standing at our side at a time of great adversity.
There is no doubt that the Good Lord is on our side.
We in Antigua have weathered the most powerful hurricane ever to storm its way through the Caribbean.
And we have done so with stunning results.
The forecast was that Antigua would be devastated, our infrastructure demolished, people killed and our economy destroyed.
In the light of day, the picture is very different.
In Antigua, no life has been lost – all the people survived.
The guests in our hotels are all well.
Even our animals were protected from this massive storm.
Our airport will be open for flights into and out of Antigua by 2pm today.
The people of Antigua should all be very proud of the part that each of them played in our impressive story of readiness and resilience.
I dare to say that no other country in the Caribbean would have been as well prepared as we were.
People heeded the warnings of my government to treat Hurricane Irma with absolute seriousness, and everyone did.
Properties were properly shuttered and protected, and neighbours and friends opened their homes to less fortunate persons to shelter through the long night.
There was a chain of brotherhood and sisterhood that strengthened our collective resolve.
The work that the government initiated in advance of the storm paid remarkable dividends.
The drains, gutters and reservoirs that were cleared in advance, ensured that the island experienced no flooding, hence eliminating the possibility of water-borne disease.
While there has been property damage, it is not anywhere near the horrendous injury that was feared.
The essential point is that our main infrastructure has stood-up and our country can resume normal life within hours.
From early this morning, the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force has been on the streets clearing fallen trees and debris.
They were followed by contingents from the Solid Waste Unit.
Ours has been an exceptional story of resilience, honed by past experience and by the high level of our preparedness to confront the challenges of the world’s mightiest and most dangerous hurricane.
With regard to Barbuda, preliminary reports indicate damage to rooves and to some buildings, but I have had no report of any fatalities.
Barbuda too benefitted from a high level of readiness, responsive to the urgings of the government and from the preparations that were made in advance, including the shelter constructed for that purpose.
I was able to drive through many areas of Antigua since 5.30 this morning and I was heartened by what I saw.
I intend to visit Barbuda at the earliest opportunity to see conditions on the island for myself.
Meantime, it is clear that Antigua and Barbuda has stood up to a mighty test.
Our preparedness led to impressive resilience.
Our people are safe, our country is secure and our piece of paradise remains open to be shared by people from all over the world.
God bless you, and God continue to bless our beloved land – Antigua and Barbuda.
Lo ha dicho en rueda de prensa, supuestamente:

Y ahora han confirmado un muerto.
Tienes que ser practica y minimalista. Ropa no, la llevas puesta, pero agua, comida, linternas, tienda de campaña, botiquin...
Yo soy un novato haciendolas, xo todo depende de tu nivel adquisitivo, y lo que tengas a mano por casa.
¿A qué distancia del ojo del huracán es dónde se experimentan vientos más fuertes? ¿Qué parte del huracán es más violenta?
Es para hacerme una idea viendo los mapas de por dónde va a causar más estragos el Irma.
antigüoantiguo*Gracias por la info.
Para más curiosidad: www.floodmap.net/ Y por eso hay países que soportan relativamente bien los huracanes, no se construye donde puede llegar el mar.
Le tenemos mucho respeto a Dios pero si por ejemplo enfermo creo que me salto pedirle mejorar a la blanca paloma y me tiro para el Reina Sofía.
Parece algo normal dicho por un (verdadero) cristiano.
Si es que hay veces que ya no se si darme de baja de la especie humana.

Esta gente se pasa los dias pensando en forma de prepararse para estas cosas , pero en general parece que lo llevas bien , puntos extra por tener una radio a mano.
Yo recomendaria una bolsa hermetica y meter dentro de ella toda tu documentacion y buena parte de tu efectivo, asi como consejo basico que no he visto que lo tengas preparado.. una bolsa de salir cagando leches , por lo que pueda pasar , y memorizar la ruta de evacuacion , con alternativas por si hay algun paso bloqueado , idealmente , una copia del mapa de planta del edificio.
Ahora en serio, menuda desgracia joder, ojala se recuperen pronto.
God bless you, and God continue to bless our beloved land.
Claro, claro... porque ha sido Satán el del huracán.
Please don't send any suport, as it will be provided by Almighty God
Ser cristiano no practicante te da mucha libertad jejejeje
es de la isla de al lado, Bigotuda
¡Muchas gracias a todos!
Gracias por avisar que estais bien!
No bajes la guardia que parece que van en fila india los cabrones.
Pues aprovecha el respiro para poner en orden tus preparativos , que parece que esta temporada va a ser movida.
