Storm coming: The most powerful Atlantic Ocean hurricane in recorded history made its first landfall in the islands of the northeast Caribbean early today, churning along a path pointing to Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba before possibly heading for Florida over the weekend 'Knowing our wonderful team as I do, I suspect there will be little wine left in the cellar when we all emerge.'

He wrote on his blog on Wednesday: 'We are expecting to get the full force of the hurricane in around five hours' time, when we will retreat to a concrete wine cellar under the Great House. Speaking of his experience on Tuesday night, Branson - who is staying with an entire team of staff on the island - said the 'howling wind and rain' battered his home and created an 'eerie but beautiful' atmosphere. The billionaire Virgin boss had already announced he wouldn't not leave his home on the British Virgin Islands despite Hurricane Irma - which is the size of France - threatening 'potentially catastrophic' as it lashes the Caribbean with 185mph winds. Nature warning us again of the impact of #climatechange If your building is not very solid, do find somewhere safe! Homes can be rebuilt but lives can't. He said: 'Please don't take this hurricane lightly if it is heading your way. 'Making me very concerned for our friends and everyone on the neighbouring islands and people in its path. Sad to say that most of the buildings have been destroyed and main house is 'uninhabitable'. His message was similar to one written yesterday, when he explained: 'Glad to say that all humans on Necker are ok. He later posted a video of what he claimed was Tortola showing 'beyond tragic' damage.Ĭane Garden Bay on Tortola island, he added, is '80 per cent destroyed'. He also detailed massive damage across the British Virgin Islands, stressing that there was 'lots of debris' and urging people to remain cautious. Referring to his father, he wrote: 'Branson is ok on Necker, but lots of damage to the island'.

If our really strong buildings sustained such damage, I am so worried for elsewhere in the BVI and Caribbean. 'We will do whatever we can to support and assist our local community through this extremely testing time. But the BVI is going to need major help to rebuild people’s homes, buildings, livelihoods.
'Already we are hearing inspiring stories of extraordinary people helping each other to get through this awful situation. DDM and the Governor's Team are monitoring. If you are in the BVI please let people know you are ok on FaceBook Safety Check. 'Sadly, casualties are being reported elsewhere in the Caribbean, along with horrific damage that is causing so much misery for the region’s wonderful communities. Hurricane Irma is continuing a path of destruction that brought the eye of the storm to Necker Island, Moskito Island and the whole surrounding area. In a statement uploaded to Virgin's website this afternoon, Mr Branson wrote: 'It is a traumatic time here in the British Virgin Islands.
