Hurricane Irma was an extremely powerful Category 5 hurricane that affected Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba and so much more. Right after Irma, came Maria. Today, Puerto Rico is still trying to recover from Maria. Hurricane Maria was a Category 5 Storm that pummeled the islands of Dominica and Puerto Rico in late September of 2017.

What many of you don’t know, is that myself and @paolajane actually lived through a direct hit of both Hurricane Irma, as well as Hurricane Maria. During our stay on the island of the Dominican Republic, we braved through both of these powerful storms and lived to tell the experience you see in this video.

Now admittedly, because I wasn’t very organized at the time, and I lost almost all of my footage, and it was all just a blur because when I lived in DR all I did was drink beer. A lot of this story is a mixture of both Irma and Maria, some footage you may see from either or storm, I can't remember which is which. I don’t have everything down to a T on the timeline.

However just understand that this was very real, and I’m here to tell you about it. Please, watch the video and hear my experience.
