Hurricane Irma is already larger, stronger, and potentially more fatal than Harvey - and it's not over yet.
Irma has sent the Caribbean and several southern States into crisis mode after reportedly destroying '95 percent' of Saint-Martin, Barbuda, and the British Virgin Islands. Millions of people have been left stranded and homeless with no access to water, electricity or phone service, and at least 10 are dead. The Bahamas and Cuba are bracing for a similarly devastating impact, as is the State of Florida, which is currently being completely evacuated.
Scroll down to see chilling photos of the damage caused by the harrowing storm so far, and if you are in an area at risk of being affected, heed all warnings by relevant authorities and make your way to a safe place. If you would like to help, find more info here.

A bunch of roosters does not equal c**k fight. Roosters are just male chickens, and everyone claiming that these are fighting birds has no idea what they are talking about.

Dolphin Discovery Attraction On Tortola In The Virgin Islands (Before And After Irma Damage)
Jocelyn 8 years ago

J Browne 8 years ago
The problem is these dolphins cannot fend for themselves in the wild as they are used to human care and they are not even from this ocean, so they wouldn't fit in with their kind. One might hope they would have stuck around so that they can be put back but as someone who has worked with them it would be better if they were free even if a short time rather than go back to a life of giving humans rides for food. This place will probably go back and buy more dolphins, creating more demand and slaughter in Taiji. It should be outlawed!

sometimes these small bars on the beach are the fruit of years and years of money saving, or an effort of all the members of a family, or bought/built after sold all your own properties. Please note that here in Fiji, to get insurance on your house against fire can cost you $100/year, against cyclone can cost you $1000/year...that why most of the fijian people can't afford to ensure their properties against the cyclone

I feel your pain. We're in Typhoon Alley, Western Pacific, Micronesia, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. You can Google the world records that go through here. Folks from the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico's power companies helped us more than a few times after storms like this. Our prayers are sent your way.

The Luxury Eden Rock Hotel On St Barts (Before And After Irma Damage)

Are you people that stupid that you can't understand how a place can be pictured from different point of view and still be the same place?

Flash floods. They ruin lives. Let's all take a moment to remember those who died here. And the animals, never forget the animals.

Yes it is the same hotel, just from a different view.

Is not Photoshop, just another point of view, the Hotel is right under the word "After"

This is where there should be no remarks that aren't positive. We all need to pull together & help any way we can.

This is one of the reasons why I love this site over going to sites like yahoo and such because there is sometimes one bad apple in the bunch that says something horribly mean. But on BP you don't get that that often people are sympathetic and seem to truly care.

...Hurricane Irma and there are other 2 more coming in. Evacuate when you must and please stay safe.

I've lived through several major hurricanes in my life, rebuilt and moved on, but I have to say, I can not even imagine being on an island during such a massive storm, literally having no where to go. What a horrific situation for them

This is tragic and devastating. Pray for everyone in Irma's path. The story was wrong in one regard though - Florida is not being completely evacuated. Just some southern and coastal counties. And those evacuating are often just traveling to a more northern and central area of Florida, like Orlando. We're bracing for Sunday - wish us luck.

#5 suggests that they should take a look at roof technology. Ground anchors and chains come to mind.

My sis built a geodesic dome house in Miami which has withstood these monsters well.

We're 150 miles from the gulf and often get serious damage, heavy rains and lose power because of smaller hurricanes. To put things in perspective, Irma is 600 miles wide, Atlanta is 600 miles away. What you see on t.v. or even from personal pics on line nothing come close to the reality. If you can, donate to local charities rather than national organizations. This will ensure your donation will go to the people who need it most.

Life at its worst, nature at its most magnificent, nothing can control the force of nature, if you are in its path it will walk right over you, My heart goes out to all involved, I can not imagine how anyone survives such forces. My prayers are with you all.
