The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Office has been flooded as relentless rainfall from Tropical Storm Jerry continues to soak the island, affecting operations at one of the nation’s most critical facilities.
According to reports, water poured through the roof of the MET Office Friday morning, flooding workspaces and compromising some of the equipment used to monitor weather patterns and support airport operations.
Staff on duty reportedly made several attempts to contain the water, but the persistent downpour offered little relief.
The flooding comes as the island remains under a flash flood advisory, with widespread water accumulation across multiple communities.
The MET Office plays a vital role in tracking storms and providing real-time updates to the public and aviation authorities.
Officials continue to urge the public to remain cautious and to monitor updates through official channels as weather conditions remain unstable.
WOW WOW WOW how does something like this happen
Shame on the MET office who couldn’t see this coming. They have lost all credibility in the eyes of the public.. I’d rather listen to CALA weather!
That’s worrying. If critical offices like that flooding, imagine what regular folks facing in low areas.
Seeing this live makes the flash flood advisories feel all the more real.
And wicket pot works dam is not flooded.
