Devastating damage after the eyewall of hurricane Irma in St.Thomas. Storm surge, large waves, a car up a pole. Widespread catastrophic damage to St.Thomas. Roofs missing.
so sad me and my husband visit here once a year met a lot of cool ppl feel so bad for them I love st Thomas 🙄
I can't believe there are trees still standing!
About2Rain what you mean
If you're looking for more information about missing loved ones, there's a group on Facebook called 'What's up Saint Thomas?' that has a list of those who have checked in and have been found. You can also post for those that you're trying to find.
Thanks for posting
We were heading there next Thursday for vacation....guess we need to cancel. :( Hoping everyone there is safe!
HEADPHONE WARNING @0:56 have mercy! Great video too.
surprised that anyone left their cars at sea level
Looking for Sydnee Brown. Last known location was 2C-2 Crown and Hawk. Near Botanical Gardens and Plantation Manor. If anyone is in the area please see if there's any information you can on Sydnee. Her mother is extremely worried.
A lot of my family is from hear it’s just sad to hear about this but my family is ok and I’m just happy that we in safe as long as my family
Hi, Jim Carlton here from the Wall Street Journal. Is there anyone on the USVI who could tell me what it's like there now?
So sad. I have a friend in St. John's Cruz Bay area. Can't get a hold of her. Does anyone have any information. Please and thank you
God, I'm so sorry! Is this near Gladys Cafe?
If anyone knows about the Northside (Dorothea/Bonne Resolution area) and Sapphire Village area please post! I haven't been able to reach family and friends.
Jesus, I hope everyone is ok!! Thought somehow it would have been even worst ,, if that's possible. Did St. Thomas get a direct hit?? Looks devastated, will take years to fix all this!! Anybody have any news from st.john??? Would appreciate!! God bless you down there!!! The calvery is on the way !!!! Just hang tight for a bit longer!!
Not too bad on the destruction part, but bad enough. These Islands have hurricanes and build accordingly. The rumored sustained wind speed of 180+ mph...did not hit full force from appearances.
barbuda and st marteen begs to differ....they were direct hits
I beg to differ, this is probably just after the storm and in a location that doesn’t have much infrastructure.
is that the windward passage?
Any updates regarding the Red Hook area/Sapphire Beach?
Rob Rayborn I'm worried about Sapphire area as well. Have family living there. Please post if you hear anything about Sapphire area. Thanks
Any news on St. John? I heard the eyeball went directly over.
im looking for news too. family took shelter at stj inn. if you hear anything can you please say so.
Wow lots of debris but buildings are still standing strong.
Lyte42 that's because most buildings in the VI use reinforced concrete block or poured concrete. We don't build with wood like the mainland states because we're used to being hit. Plus this is downtown -the oldest settled area. Some of those buildings (the Catholic Church in the distance) are from the 1800s and are made with reinforced brick.
So sad. Still dunno how my dad doing...prayers for my home
Hello I hope your Dad is okay.
I not seein any video of st.john
Any update on the Frenchman's Reef location? Vacation planned in October :(
Laura, st .thomas is nice,,,,,,,, god bless those ravaged people down there, god speed!!! But, and trust me on this,,,, spend a few days on St. John!!!! NNO COMPARISON!!! St .john is gorgeous!! Trust me

I put the link for a lady on Facebook. She's been updating the hotel info. Not everyone has even heard from loved ones yet. I only heard from my mom an hour ago. 3 days no contact. The hotels aren't going to be able to make assessments now on future vacation plans. Right now the important thing is locating survivors and notifying family of the deceased.
Yes a number of people have died.
No way you're going on your vacation. Some hotels have already announced closure for 6 months. The islands won't have electric up for months and likely not before 2018 for large parts of it. The stores took hits so no food.
The tourist areas will be focusing on having the workers safe first.

What I am praying for that some times some people died and that is really sad

My stephfather live in saint john in cruz bay
I'am Adrienne my family name is BENJAMIN of Charlotte Amalie St Thomas, I'm planning a trip home 2018. Jah bless everyone ,a prayer for those who lost things .All can be replaced. Everything except LIFE.
My sissy made it out okay on Crown Mountain.... This is just terrible!!!
Can anyone show us the north side?
Michael Williams I have no footage but my sis says northside took the lesser of the hit...
Alexis Lucas the North side and in particular the North East took the hardest hit. Not the lesser hit!!
I've got family there and friends and former students. I haven't been able to reach my mom or family. Some students lost their roof. Others are ok. Others people haven't been able to reach.
Is that Big kahuna - the blue? I'm Lauren Kubat and Ryan Semchenkos mom...they are ok. btw
I was planning on going on vacation near magens bay one month from now... idk if that will happen? What do you guys think?
They will still e feeling the effects from this hurricane with lots of damage
In a month you will be fine.
Wait till it's not hurricane season. We have family who are locals on the island, and they thought it would be fine, now three quarters of our family from the mainland are stuck there till they can fly out.
StraitClownin909 These Islands go a long time without electricity, running water, phone service. It took 6 months for electricity to come back after Hurricane Hugo. And there will be a lot of bacteria in the sea. Not an ideal vacation. You won't be able to take showers or flush toilets. Food will be scarce.
StraitClownin909 nooooooo. I've lived through Hugo and Marilyn. No electricity for MONTHS. Stores are damaged or destroyed. No food, no phones, etc. Your hotel might have generators but then what will you do- you can't get around, there will be curfews, places you would normally visit would be damaged and not open.
Hello j ai pas de nouvelle de mon frère qui réside a hotel thé paraisse in a saint martin
Total destruction!
this is russia
