Guy was on the news saying that there's no need to buy bottled water, just fill any container in the house with ordinary tap water. The tap water is safe to drink.

Press Release: ANTIGUA AVOIDS MAJOR DAMAGE WITH HURRICANE IRMA

St. John’s, Antigua, WI (September 6, 2017). Antigua has successfully coped with Hurricane Irma, defying the worst predictions of disaster. There was no loss of life. The local population and all visitors to the island are safe. Most residential, business and Hotel properties in Antigua remain largely unscathed and already the main roads have been cleared of the debris of fallen trees.

The V C Bird International Airport will be open by 2pm (Eastern Standard Time) today to accommodate arriving and departing aircraft and passengers. Visitors are encouraged to contact the relevant airlines and tour operators if their flights were affected.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne, in a statement earlier today, said that “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.

“The essential point is that our main infrastructure has stood-up and our country can resume normal life within hours”. Asot Michael, the country’s Minister of Tourism, Economic Development, Investment and Energy said. “All our visitors remained safe during Hurricane Irma. The island’s Hotels suffered only minimal damage and have already commenced clean-up operations”.

Conditions on Barbuda are not fully clear as yet, but preliminary reports indicate no loss of life and only some damage to private property and one Government facility. Minister Michael indicated that he would be travelling to Barbuda today to assess damage that will be addressed immediately.

“The important take away from all this is that Antigua and Barbuda remains open for business and is already resuming normal life including welcoming visitors to enjoy our little bit of paradise which God continues to protect”, the Minister concluded.

these pilots rushing in and out of PR trying to beat Irma before it gets there - incredible!

is it possible for katia and irma to come close to each other..

Not so far, no. Katia is moving south west into mexico
for katia to meet Irma it would have to go north east, the opposite direction.

Yuh know you would think by now that this community knows that I do not post things lightly (well, maybe, except from the Daily Mail )

Does this answer your question??? By the way at least one dead (so far).



Look well into the background and tell me what you see (below)

[bluefete]

Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda said that "Barbuda is barely habitable."

[bluefete]

Barbuda:

95% of properties damaged

30% totally destroyed.

Major infrastructural and telecommunications damage.

Cell towers snapped in half.

US$100 million to rebuild and that is a conservative estimate.

[Chimera]

Those pics and info only coming out in the last hour tho.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

When Irma heads north and Jose come up and jam up... It will wuk new york.

US and U.K. models have Irma heading inland

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Jose is projected to turn north and may not affect the US or greater Antilles and Katia is moving south West into Mexico and probably also won't affect the US
