Alexis: Guys, do you remember Codrington, where we spent the amazing summer 1999?
Joan: Sure, how could I forget?
Alexis: I just discovered that the town is empty, all people moved to Antigua
Joan: what?! what happened?
Heather: Yes, I read about it. The hurricane Irma in 2017 was so devastating that they evacuated the whole town, and it's remained empty since
Joan: so sad!
Alexis: very. 95% of the island was destroyed apparently
Alexis: so the government of Antigua and Barbuda evacuated the population to the main island leaving Barbuda empty for the first time in modern history
Joan: I'm wondering what happened to that lovely lady that hosted us
Alexis: me too
Alexis, Joan and Heather were in Codrington in the summer of 1999. The town is empty, because the hurricane Irma devastated it in 2017. All the people had to flee to Antigua.
