Draft:List of Lesser Antilles hurricanes

The Lesser Antilles are a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea that is frequently affected by Atlantic hurricanes.

Since 2000, at least tropical or subtropical cyclones have affected the Lesser Antilles.

Pre-1900s

 * October 10–13, 1780 – The Great Hurricane of the West Indies moved from Barbados to near Saint Kitts, killing more than 19,000 people across the region. This made it the deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record. Strong winds and a powerful storm surge – estimated at 25 ft in Martinique – wrecked houses and ships. The hurricane later passed between Puerto Rico and Hispaniola before recurving to the north.

2000–2009

 * August 22, 2000 – Hurricane Debby makes three landfalls in Barbuda, Saint Barthélemy, and Virgin Gorda as a minimal hurricane with winds of 75 mph. Throughout the Leeward Islands, intense gusts damaged fruit trees and downed power lines while tides up to 13 feet were recorded in Guadeloupe and Sint Maarten. Due to causing minimal damage, the Sint Maarten Tourism Bureau stated that Debby "was the weakest hurricane St. Maarten experienced in several years."
 * October 2000 – Hurricane Joyce passes close to Tobago, causing near gales in the island. Barbados experienced the highest sustained winds Joyce brought to any land area, with gusts up to 45 mph. Joyce's remnants passed over the ABC Islands, where locally heavy thunderstorms and light winds were reported on October 2.
 * August 2001 – Hurricane Iris affects the Windward Islands as a tropical depression, causing thunderstorms in St. Thomas and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
 * October 7, 2001 – Tropical Storm Jerry affects the Leeward Islands. A station at Martinique reported sustained ten-minute winds of 44 mph. Some downpours and high winds were reported.
 * September 27, 2002 – Hurricane Isidore affects the Windward Islands as a tropical depression.
 * September 2002 – Hurricane Lili passed through the Lesser Antilles as it was upgraded into a tropical storm. Intense rainfall caused by the system caused mudslides in the region. Four deaths occurred in St. Lucia.
 * August–September 2003 – Hurricane Fabian brings gale-force winds to the Leeward Islands. Storm surge damage occurred in Antigua and Barbuda, where some boats were lightly damaged.
 * August 2004 – Tropical Storm Bonnie affects the Leeward Islands as a tropical depression. St. Lucia was affected with near-gales and light showers while St. Vincent and the Grenadines suffered flash flooding.
 * September 2004 – Hurricane Charley affects the Lesser Antilles. Jamaica suffered the brunt of the storm, with intense flooding occuring. In Big Woods, 30 families were isolated. One death occurred.
 * September 2004 – Hurricane Ivan makes a devastating pass through the Lesser Antilles. In total, 43 deaths occurred. 5

2010s

 * September 6, 2017 – Hurricane Irma struck Barbuda, Saint Martin, and the British Virgin Islands as a Category 5 hurricane. Across the region, Irma killed 27 people and left US$3.92 billion in damage.
 * September 9, 2017 – Powerful Hurricane Jose threatened to strike the same region hit by Irma just days earlier, prompting the entire island of Barbuda to evacuate, the first time in 300 years that the island was uninhabited. However, the center of Jose remained northeast of the islands.
 * September 19, 2017 – Hurricane Maria became the strongest hurricane on record to strike Dominica, with sustained winds of 165 mph (265 km/h), killing 34 people across the region. The winds destroyed or damaged nearly every building on the damage and heavily damaged roads, with monetary costs estimated at US$1.31 billion. Maria also caused heavy damage in nearby Guadeloupe, and later brushed the U.S. Virgin Islands, adding to the damage caused by Irma a few weeks earlier.
