To anyone watching this clip we have recovered and yes the island still looks bad but you will be surprised how far we come and how good it looks now compare to last year. I want to say thank you to everyone who at least cared about what happened or try to help. And I hope you never have to go through what we all had to.
Girl they say hurricane goin hit us and is category 4
I hate how people are only concerned about Florida and ONLY Florida while places like this are almost dead
Mr Avocado yeah true it’s kinda Annoying
Mr Avocado my family and friends were on tortola when Irma hit the bvi thought we were going to die. We are from there... born and bread😢
@@tracy-ux8bm same
@@tracy-ux8bm same it was so terrifying I suffered from ptsd 🙁
I'm glad the islanders are in good spirits. Hopefully UK gov can get to work restoring order and fixing stuff quickly
I can't imagine what's like to be in their shoes . Hope they recover soon.
Thank you
We did and the island looks much better than before but you can still see the effects of the hurricane. But thank you for caring. It was really hell
I mean we had wifi after it
So unpredictable and spontaneous, my prayers with all those affectedb
That's devastating! I am so sorry!
It's NOT called looting in an emergency situation when you are just scavenging supplies to SURVIVE.
Champagne it is looting lol
It is when you see people walking down the street with tv's
It’s looting 😐 ppl were stealing TVs and stuff
I REALLY want to see an updated video of how the islands are doing now in 2019. I have found very little imagery. If you know of a link, please comment and share it to me.
Were doing fine but I cant find a link to any vid sry
I hope all the Virgin islanders got out ok.
ross creations fuck off
ross creations I appreciate the self promotion but not a very appropriate video surely
It must be terrible losing a luxury yacht, oh dear!
Man in the van had good air-conditioning
Nice
Pray for my brethren on Tola. We is Tolans,we will stay strong.
I can't even imagine the shock & stress you all are living through. I'm so sorry, I never been one to desire wealth but when I see such devastation I wish I was a millionaire to be able & help. All I can do is send positive thoughts & prayers hoping you all can stay safe & get some water, food & shelter a.s.a.p.🤞✌️🤞
Bro we good now don't worry :)
Prayers
3 years ago I tried to build for you simple emergency power generators, windmills.😥 with the things that survived this hurricane. I still remember. and i hope you got a lot of support after what happened. all the best for you guys. I was with you all with all my heart. ❤️😘🌸🌹
My Home!!😭😭
That was one time when 'grateful to be alive' meant exactly that.
Building trade is the only winner in that mess. Unreal how they survived at all.
we hope Britain is doing all it can
London Weather Climate & Space NEWS Britain is helping and the territories are grateful. Stop listening to the loud mouths who want to gain political points.
Well it can get political, with foolish old baggies here in the BVI, that are stuck in their old ways who are trashing the Government of the UK for not responding the way they want them to. Those old baggies don't speak for the 95% of us. The troops from the Government of the UK started crawling all over the British Overseas Territories like fire ants with assistance to help rebuild their people, and we are really happy that they are here.

Have you seen footages of Aleppo (Syrian city) after the war ?
After Irma without light and water for months it's like a was zone!!
yes and that was be horrible what happend😢
Literally just came back from there a few weeks ago. I was there for 9 days doing a ceiling with my father and it's gorgeous out there it's too bad cuz they got fucked up from that hurricane but yea I'm definitely going back in a few months can't wait
So to SOME degree, they ARE rebuilding?
What percentage of the population of the island left and never came back, would you know?
nudist1033 I honestly don't know cuz it was my first time in the BVI and I only visited Tortola for about 8 to 9 days and I been back for about 2 months and I just got confirmation recently that me and my father will be going back soon in the next few weeks but yes they are rebuilding to some degree the richer ppl are already good but among the normal and poor it's still pretty bad bro
Condolence to victim family
ross creations people are trying to be good to their fellow human beings and your after subscribers to line your wallet.

I was there for it I was sooo scared but thank God for life
We shall overcome! Resilience is part of this land!
It was so scary
feel bad for them having to clean up the entire island and rebuild everything every 5 years or so.
Sainsbury, Barclay's and Vodafone have loads of associate companies in these tax havens. Lets hope they are OK and still able to charge the UK companies hundreds of millions for time and advice. Otherwise they will have to pay tax in the UK on all that money
My homeeeeee. 😭😭
Well, no matter what the weather, you should be able to protect your bank accounts, your personal data, your photos, and personal items. Bury them in a large container if you have to.
Glimmer of hope.
ross creations, ok. Will chek it out.
ross creations, i do not have a CZcams channel but i will subscribe to u.
Keep hope alive.
Mr Addams family sage mountain,thanks.
2:00 you just cant kill a ford econline .
So sad news
Is it not a tad coincidental that shortly after the US pulls out of the Paris climate accord all hell breaks loose on the meterological front. What even insurance companies call an act of God. Geographical storms don't respect political borders. One world - one solution!
Anyone looking for a builder?
Hope Branson chips in some dough
still better than Mosul
These island simlar
To Jamaica a hope
Babylon help the people
Were nth like jamaicans
It's time to start praying and crying out to the great God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob because he is our only help.
Psalms 20:1-3
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
YAHOWAH hear thee in the day of trouble;
the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
Send thee help from the sanctuary,
and strengthen thee out of Zion;
Remember all thy offerings,
and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
niloc drof go back to sleep
Still no footage out of Anguilla and Turks and Caicos. BVI looks like ground zero.
We got fucked
there is footage of Turks and Caicos. Take a look on CZcams and articles.
Call upon Jesus!
just out of curiosity.......did Mar A Lago survive.....?....and if so......is Trump going to waive the $200,000 membership fee when he allows hurricane survivors to use it as a shelter...?
Build Brick Buildings.
Morning to Bvi mess Wilson mr potter and other good Emigration keep serving.
Brace your self again Bvi crinal contractor like ju even your money guyn freeze in the bank.

The Mason family? That's appropriate for British Virgin Islands
These Islands are not virgins anymore.
