    After Irma, calls for help from the Caribbean: 'The island is debris, that's all it is'

    Hurricane Irma has devastated several Caribbean islands, with at least 24 fatalities and untold billions of dollars in property damage in one of the strongest storms ever to strike the region.

    Those hardest hit include Barbuda, the Dutch and French sides of St. Martin, the U.S. and British Virgin islands and Anguilla.

    Officials and residents in some of those places expressed disappointment with the amount of foreign emergency assistance they were receiving and what they considered to be a shortage of international media attention.

    The destruction may not be over. The islands were bracing for Hurricane Jose, which by Friday afternoon had intensified into a Category 4 hurricane that forecasters said could generate sustained winds of 150 miles per hour.
