Hurricanes are, no joke, some of the nastiest natural disasters, right after volcano eruptions, and Tsunami. As you probably know, Irma is currently trying to destroy everyone and everything in her way. Well, maybe by the time you read this, it’s all over, actually, I hope it is, because did Irma take millions of lives!
Around 95% of Saint-Martin, Barbuda, and the British Virgin Islands were flooded, houses crushed, cars and palm trees kissing… In other words – total destruction. Millions of people are homeless now, with no access to water, electricity or phone service, and at least 22 are dead.
Here’s just a small glimpse of what’s going on there. These are the before and after photos of some of the damage caused by the hurricane so far. It doesn’t look good, but it will definitely get better soon.
