1. Not what the live report is saying

This is live from Antigua:

https://www.facebook.com/pg/abstvradio/videos/

That 1000 lives figure is not being reported by the people in contact with the PM.


"Sounded like 1,000+ deaths (line was hard to hear)" - that's completely irresponsible.

I don't have FB, so I can't watch this broadcast. Listening to the radio broadcast now.

More stupid tweets.

3. The PM has been there by helicopter

He is NOT reporting what this OP says.

It is bad - 90% of structures severely damaged, extent unclear.

9. One death reported

according to the ABS live link given above

11. In 1979 (IIRC) a hurricane destroyed the tiny island of Dominica.*

90% of all structures were destroyed. It took a long time to rebuild.

Best wishes for everyone on Barbuda.

Dominica (not the Dominican Republic) is a tiny island next to Antigua with 50k people.

12. He did say 90% structures destroyed

He wasn't addressing fatalities. But there will be fatalities. Prayers for their people.

13. Reports are wildly all over the place right now

Nothing should be assumed as correct until more information comes out over the next 24 hours.

14. They still do not have Harvey fatalities numbered. It takes a long time. n/t
