Semantics. It could have been a lot worse, but they still had a lot of damage. Lucky, to me, would be missing the storm altogether.


It's sort of like New Orleans and Katrina - as bad as it was, it could have been worse had the city received a direct impact rather than a glancing blow.

1600 people that live in glorified shacks. Probably looks like a s F5 twister. And I don't know where the people hide from 200 mph winds. This sound bad

I'm betting mixed info and it's like 1,000 homes/structures destroyed. I can believe that, their main town is like 20 ft elevation on the coast



One lady (some feminist planned parenthood person) said 1000 deaths and it's being retweeted out. Almost everyone in response appears to say it was 1000 buildings, not people.

She's admitting it was hard to hear but stands by her original statement. Now she's claiming she received rape and death threats (I don't see anything like that in responses to her).

Because it is nearly two thirds of Barbuda's population.

That's almost impossible.



Why is it impossible that people are saying 1000+ dead?

Oh and Barbuda may not have 1000 deaths but they're beyond fricked regardless.

But people are actually saying it so it's not impossible that people are saying it.

I even quoted the tweet.
