Officials still assessing damage caused by tornado

ST. JOHN'S, Antigua, CMC – Antigua and Barbuda authorities were on Wednesday assessing the damage caused by a tornado that touched down in the north-east of the island.
Director of the National Office of Disaster Services, Philmore Mullin, said it is still too early to determine the cost of the damage caused by the weather system late Tuesday close to Long Island, located about two miles off the north-east coast of Antigua.
“Whatever was in its way got scratched so it uprooted trees, downed power lines, damaged vehicles, damaged buildings, and removed things considered to be heavy out of its path,” Mullin told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC).
