The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Office was flooded Friday as heavy rain from Tropical Storm Jerry drenched the island, disrupting operations at the vital weather facility.
Water reportedly poured through the roof, damaging work areas and some equipment used for monitoring weather and supporting airport operations. Staff tried to stem the flow, but the persistent downpour overwhelmed efforts.
The flooding occurred amid a flash flood advisory, with widespread water accumulation across several communities. Officials are urging residents to stay cautious and follow updates as unstable conditions continue.
