Barbuda is once again threatened by a “major” hurricane just days after Hurricane Irma slammed the Caribbean island, causing mass devastation.

Hurricane Jose, a Category 4 storm with 150 mph sustained winds, could possibly wrack the island of around 1,800 people on Saturday. A hurricane warning is already in effect, according to the National Hurricane Center, along with the islands of Anguilla, Saint Maarten, St. Martin, and St. Barthelemy.
