    A small and very exposed Island right on the path of many Hurricanes.

    This is so sad, especially hearing that they have to pretty much rebuild the entire island. I wonder what kind of new buildings they can make that could withstand future hurricanes.

      a vibranium or adamantium enforced round building are proven to be Hurricane proof but it could cost millions of Rupees that the average person probably cannot afford.

      Narata The video showed quite a few houses that were fine - even the roofs were intact. I don't know much about Barbuda but it appears to me they were new houses - so I assume the older houses weren't built as well and were destroyed. There is hope - will take awhile but they will rebuild.

      We actually were rather lucky here in Florida when you look at how catastrophic it was for barbuda, virgin islands etc

    But hope everyone will survive Hurricane Jose

    My heart is breaking. Tears. I live in Jamaica, how do i help? Can i invite 2 persons to live in my home? My God, i feel helpless....tears

    • @nikkizlifestyle5411
      @nikkizlifestyle5411 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      How many hopeless people are in your island jamaica? Start at home before you look outside. Go downtown Kingston outside the Supreme Court and you'll get several buses filled with hopeless ppl and pack them in your home...since you want to help

    • @mertellabrown6785
      @mertellabrown6785 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Nikkiz Lifestyle Vlog, they have consistent help dear. They get breakfast, lunch and dinner right where they sit. They also get relocated but ALWAYS come back to the streets. I know because i volunteer my son and I 30 hours a month....so i know.
      But, I guess it's just the humanitarian in me reaching out.
      Furthermore, when there's a disaster in Jamaica we usually get help (in many a ways) from our sister islands. Oh, what would the world look like if we only helped those on our doorsteps *BE CAREFUL OF THE WEB WE WEAVE* .

    • @nikkizlifestyle5411
      @nikkizlifestyle5411 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Irrespective of what I said. I'm aware that Jamaicans do pitch in when there is a disaster in neighbouring Islands and I'm not saying that they 'WE' should stop.

      KimOfDrac Don't be mad at the journalists. They are doing their job reporting what's happening. Would you also blame a war journalist for not grabbing a gun and fight in a battle? No, let the reporters do their job and the officials and emergency personnel do theirs.

      @calvinlines9854 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We (Britain) killed and enslaved your people and made you (pakistanis) fight on the front lines of two world wars as essentially cannon fodder and you're saying 'love Britain'
      We were right to enslave you.
      You'd probably be more content if we still did.

    • @KimOfDrac
      @KimOfDrac 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I remember the Estonia disaster where people died because TV crews and reporters took up airspace that emergency helicopters needed....

      BillyCBoxingFan I can relate & understand... I said God as a "figure of speech". God helps many to cope, others have buhda, mythology etc. whatever "floats a persons boat" is what's important cuz these horrific disasters of Nature are devastating & anyone who can help is a "god" to me❣️

    I see that some of you can't help but make nasty comments. Bu thank GOD most of you have a conscience and a heart and maybe together we can help rebuild the caribbean islands destroyed by maria and irma.
    Ps it's next to impossible for poor people in the Caribbean to build structures to withstand 185 mph winds. I wish people would stop saying crap about building codes. The keys got flattened by 130 mph winds

    Comparing this to Dorian... Barbuda is similar - EF4/5 tornado damage, but they were spared the 23-foot wall of water.

  • @forestdwellerresearch6593

    Terrible damage. Looking at Nicaragua now after hurricane Iota it looks even worse down there. Iota tore the dead from their graves. Imagine that.....you have a mother or beloved family/friend who has been buried long ago. And they are just gone. Blown right out of the ground. Still, officially worst storm ever was Dorian in the Bahamas. 185 miles per hour winds for nearly two days.
    But Iota seems to leave as much damage somehow at 160 miles per hour. Total devastation. I'm really wondering if they will recalculate Iota and find some stronger gusts to have happened. Given the destruction that would almost have to be the case.
    There is just nothing left down there. Wiped off the map.

    @godlove5912 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The rest of the Caribbean has to suffer. The US government will not even consider your plight. USA is not obligated to help all these islands affected by the hurricanes. Trump is shitting on Puerto Rico right now, as we all know, is a US territory. He wants them to ‘help themselves’. I don’t expect his compassion on other ‘non US territory islands.’

  • @isunlloaoll
    @isunlloaoll 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    UK should give them help with the massive foreign aid budget. They are a commonwealth realm country, with the queen as head of state.
    They should have stayed in the UK like neighboring British overseas islands, then maybe UK would rebuild the island for them completely.

    • @pisse3000
      @pisse3000 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3
