Islands have literally disappeared but Barbuda is still on the map, just fewer structures standing. I wish them well.

I never heard of Barbuda until today.

gee, maybe Guam will tilt sideways and sink, too?

Is that allegedly the island where that wealthy guy, ie; Virgin Atlantic, was hold up at his mansion? Branson?

Have they never thought before of importing and building exclusively with concrete in Barbuda?

Yes windows can still get blown out if not covered well, and roofs can get blown off but structures would still be standing and rebuilding will be a whole lot less costly.

I guess it’s wrong of me to hope that Little St. James gets wiped off the map...

Ummmm. If there is still an island with 1700 people on it then it was neither “wiped out” or destroyed.

It could tip over though.....
