Opposition Leader Wants Residents to be Cautious Amid Severe Weather Conditions
The Leader of the Opposition and the Parliamentary Representative for All Saints East and St. Luke, Jamale Pringle, has issued a warning to the citizens and residents of Antigua and Barbuda regarding the severe weather conditions the country is currently facing.
The past twenty-four hours have seen heavy rainfall, leading to flash flooding and significant water-logging in various areas.
The adverse weather has also resulted in excessive debris that has obstructed several waterways, which pose additional risks to the community.
The weather officials have indicated that this pattern of heavy rains and potential flooding is expected to persist into the upcoming week, causing further concern.
Pringle has urged the public to exercise extreme caution and be vigilant while navigating the roads to avoid accidents and further complications.
He emphasized the importance of community support and safety during these challenging times, urging citizens to remain their brothers’ and sisters’ keepers.
The opposition leader’s message serves as a crucial reminder for all to stay alert and prioritize safety in their daily activities, especially while the inclement weather continues.
It is essential to follow updates from local authorities and weather services to stay informed and prepared.
