VIDEO: Widespread Flooding Reported Across Antigua, Heavy Rains Continue

Tropical Storm Jerry has unleashed torrential rains across Antigua, leading to widespread flooding in key areas such as St. John’s, Bolans, All Saints, and Clare Hall. Residents reported rapidly rising waters, with motorists facing treacherous driving conditions as drains overflowed and roads became partially submerged. The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service confirmed that while Jerry has moved northwest of the Leeward Islands, its trailing moisture continues to fuel heavy showers and thunderstorms. A flash flood advisory remains in effect, with forecasters predicting up to two inches of additional rainfall in the coming hours. Emergency officials have issued urgent warnings, advising residents to stay indoors, avoid flooded zones, and report hazardous conditions to the National Office of Disaster Services. The situation remains critical as authorities monitor the persistent rainfall and its potential to exacerbate the flooding.
