St. Maarten Post Hurricane Irma

I was on vacation and couldn't leave the island when Hurricane Irma hit St. Maarten. Took this video Wednesday, September 6 at 2 PM. Walked around the neighborhood to see the damage and it was devastating.

    Will you be posting regular updates of the clean up and recovery? I love this island and would like to see it back to its former beauty.

    The most powerful hurricane in the Atlantic to ever make landfall . Among the top 5 strongest hurricane or typhoon in the world ever . Winds 190 mph ( sustained ) gust at 233 mph . Yet 34 days after , 75 % of the Island has electricity and water . No small feat .

    I see pics and posts every day about the progress and it's coming along well, considering what it went through. #SXMstrong

    Some commercial flights to the island have begun . Only a few but it is a step in the right direction . Thank you for loving and believing in our Island . It helps us cope with the sacrifices needed to rebuild .
