The Liverpool act said his relatives in the Caribbean island had been "upset" by the hurricane of Category 5 when he was covering the last Sunday. Heskey, 39, said that his parents were afraid of the penny as they did not have contact with their parents for almost a week. The former soccer player said that his family, who are going on the old Antigua, were saved and healthy, having scampled the roughest hurricane.My mum can’t get hold of them,’ a distraught Heskey said according to the BBC.
‘My mum and dad were fortunately lucky. They caught the tail end of it,’ he continued.
‘But my mum’s family is from Barbuda and they were basically wiped out. Everything is gone.’
Hurricane Irma first made landfall on Barbuda, and island of some 1,600 residents, last Wednesday, with winds of up to 180 miles per hour.
The island suffered ‘absolute devastation,’ with up to 30 per cent of properties demolished, Prime Minister Gaston Browne said earlier this week.
Residents were issued with a mandatory evacuation order last week amid fears of a second hit from Hurricane Jose, which later tracked north-west, and hundreds were taken to Antigua.
As of Wednesday morning, the death toll in the wake of Irma stood at more than 40 people.
Fifteen were killed on Saint Martin and neighbouring Saint Barthelemy, ten in Cuba, nine in the British Caribbean islands, four in the US Virgin Islands, two in Puerto Rico, one in Barbuda and one in Haiti.
Islanders across the Caribbean, have complained of a breakdown in law and order and widespread shortages of food, water and electricity.
