74 Horrifying Photos That Reveal How Bad Hurricane Irma Truly Is
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.

Load More Replies...Lord Jesus...send your Angels for your animals. Cut off the destroyer, rescue us.
Either he sent it or he is too weak/nonexistent to stop it. Why pray?
Load More Replies...Feel truely horrible for the people, but the animals too!! (5 dogs in pic)
Unless they are feral and have absolutely no interest in going with you.
Load More Replies...Poor little darlings. None of them have collars. They're all strays banding together. Shame on the people for not responsibly spaying and neutering the dogs. They condemn them to painful lives of emaciation, worms, parasites, diseases, getting hit by cars, abuse by humans.
They must be so frightened, the one on the right is trying to figure how to get up the tree.
smh... another reason why the neglected and self maintained stray issue in the caribbean has to be fixed .. at the core.. too many animals suffer and why ? because humans are not responsible.. it is very sad.. this energy.. attracts more hurricanes.. sometimes people get exactly what they deserve.. sadly.. karma .. RIP to all of our strays who lost their lives and suffered and were abandoned and left to die.. because they were. paradise eh... yeah.. sure..
I don't understand why they take pictures instead of rescuing them
WTF were these dogs not with their owners! Poor creatures left to defend themselves.
Just goes to show what they think of their pets, evil bas***ds.
They should be in a shelter - they don't deserve to be abandoned - shame!
Honestly, I hope their strays cause I wouldn't want anyone worried about there dog that got lost or something durning the hurricane.
Given the number of strays on these islands, their future is very bleak unless an American rescue goes in to help.
those poor😪 animals, apparently no one cared about them, no shelter probably no longer alive!!!😪😪😪
those poor😪 animals, apparently no one cared about them, so very sad, probably no longer alive😪
they should be in someone's arms, not cowering under shrub sized trees.
That's sucks really, the person that took this pic better of help those dogs
Honestly if I saw dogs in the middle of a hurricane I would say "SCREW HUMANITY DOGS GOT IT ALL" and save rm
I hope people are taking care of their animals during the storms as they would their kids.
Oh, why didn't someone try to help them instead of just taking a photo?
I cannot give this an 'upvote' but I am hoping there are brave souls out there trying to save the animals
I guess these dogs were fera,l & not abandoned pets. Poor people & poor animals.
Unfortunately, a lot of people abandon their pets. There are a lot of pets being found in homes in the aftermath of Harvey right now in Houston :(
Load More Replies...Please please someone go out an get these little ones who can't defend for them self's just like you would if they were your own kids out in a storm ;=]]
The one dog on the right is like, "Whatta y'all doin?! Somethin in the tree? Is it treats? Where!!? Where are the treats?"
