2008,Sept 7th Hurricane Ike left behind major destruction in Inagua. Ike is estimated to have had an intensity of 110 kt when it hit Great Inagua. "The situation is dire in Inagua," "There is widespread destruction." Prime Minister Ingraham emphasized that buildings and infrastructure can be replaced, but human life cannot and therefore there was much to be thankful for since no loss of life or serious injury had been reported. Matthew Town, Inagua, suffered extensive damages. He said the strong winds and torrential rains tore down a satellite communications system and there were many poles, utility lines and transformers that were leveled.The Mathew Town Police Station's shutters were blown away, causing water breach and flooding. The shutters of the St. Philips Community Center, which is also a shelter, were blown off. Zion Baptist Church - a second shelter - also sustained water damage.Approximately 70-80% of the houses on Great Inagua Island sustained roof damage, and 25% had major damage or were destroyedSat image of eye moving over island with Hurricane watch net audio | Ike model history | Aftermath video
