After effect of Hurricane Irma.

Prep for Jose
SKN: most of the country is now on day two of no electricity due to fallen trees and power lines. I suggest charging your laptop where possible and then use it as a power source for your phones.

Antigua: I don’t know the extent however heard it is pretty much same as SkN.
However
Areas that were in the center:
Barbuda: learnt 90-95% of the country was badly damaged. Word is it has been declared uninhabitable.

Sxm: French ferry terminal is almost under water
Dutch air port & air crafts are badly damaged
Dutch town: #Adisaster

Tortola: town- A mess
Yet to hear about Anguilla, PR & other near by islands.
Guys we have to count SKN as a blessed place. My heart hurts for those islands, you can imagine the pending death toll.

As we are in clean up mode… SKN is now under a tropical storm watch as Hurricane Jose is heading close to us this week end while Antigua and Barbuda is under a hurricane watch.
As we get closer I will send more updates
