This is so sad. East Island Excursions at Marina Puerto del Rey in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, is organizing a private sealift of supplies to the US and British Virgin Islands, and of refugees - mostly stranded American citizens and sick or injured islanders - to Puerto Rico on their way back. They appreciate donations of supplies, but for those outside of Puerto Rico, perhaps help with fuel costs will work better.

Hurricanes are a fact of life in the Caribbean.
Learn to deal with it and prepare.

I was in Tortola, Antigua & Barbuda, and St. Maartin/St. Martin in January of last year. All the sites I remember are now gone, and possibly some of the people I met. Very, very sad.

I wonder if Google Earth and Street View can be updated to show recent changes like this?

Google Earth is overhead satellite imagery. I don’t know for sure but I suspect there’s a subscription service that would provide recent images.
Street scenes are made by a google car with the crazy camera on the roof. At best it’s updated annually in major cities.

Leaves are blown-off the trees. I would imagine that most of them will grow back. Meanwhile, CO2 in the air will increase and cause more global warming, no doubt.

They use cars with roof mounted fish eye type lenses to do the street views so it will probably be several years for updates by which time it will be rebuilt or maybe not. Its a “throwing good money after bad” kind of decision.

We had friends on St. Martin during the hurricane - 95% of the island was destroyed. Took a C130 to get them off the island. It went from a lush, tropical paradise to third world devastation in the blink of an eye.
To: Rebelbase
That looks really bad, like all of the foliage was literally stripped off of those islands.

And guess what? Soon they’ll be green again, just like after every other Hurricane that has come before.
