Hurricane José narrowly missed Antigua but caused catastrophic damage to Barbuda, which had just been hit by Hurricane Irma. For the second time in four days, Curtain Bluff Resort in Antigua was spared damage as Hurricane José passed just east of the island. However, Barbuda suffered a direct hit from José after already being impacted by Irma, totally devastating the island and forcing its evacuation. While Curtain Bluff will open as scheduled, the resort's nonprofit is providing support to those affected in Barbuda and other Caribbean islands, as well as people in Florida still threatened by the storms.
