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.

i was shocked to see the damage myself. suffice to say i'm glad to be alive..
the way you're filming is very good
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 .
Wow, this is so crazy!
I have walked/shopped on these streets many times. I hardly recognize it. Am supposed to return in December. Doubt it. so very sad
Very sad, we were headed there in December! Looks like a little looting going on...

It will take months to clean up and longer to rebuild, but they will!
Looks like a war zone.

Exactly! People I know are ready to go back now, even knowing what the island looks like now. SXM will always be a magical island to so many of us who love your Paradise.
This place is nothing but a getto anyway, everything has to be jailed up.
