These photos are Steemit exclusive taken by yours truly as I tried to document some of my experiences during and after the Hurricane Irma in St Maarten. Special thanks to Sasha Bernard as she also took some of the photos. All these are raw photos, so please excuse the quality in some cases
The following photos capture shots in the apartment
The following photos capture shots outside the apartment
This one photo probably the most heart breaking as the wind toppled the entire second floor of a home of 4, leaving only the ground floor. Thankfully no one died
This is a photo of me grabbing whats left trying to figure out where to stay as we prepared for the incoming Hurricane Jose at the time. Thank God it went just North of the island, that's another story. 
Extremely grateful that I made it alive and while things look gloomy I only suffered minor cuts and aches. I am still in soundness of mind as one of the neighbor went insane after hearing about the incoming Hurricane Jose. No matter how much you prepare for Hurricane, you are at complete mercy of nature. That building was supposedly built to withstand Hurricane force wind of up to 125 MPH but obviously it tanked. I took a look at the newly built airport that supposedly should withstand Hurricane force wind of up to 200MPH totally tanked reminiscing a dumped site. I am now reading quite a few comments online of people talking about they don't build strong building but Irma was just a freak. The vibration popped your ears and you are literally fighting to breathe from the vacuum that is created. The entire island felt the four tremors that just rock your belly giving nauseous feeling. Whatever the media reports and the articles written by experts, in this case you are just at the complete mercy of nature
Let me say a big thank you to @kid4life for his support during this difficult time.
I have another Dtube Steemit exclusive video coming up, capturing the beginning of the tail of the Hurricane Irma. For those who aren't familiar, Hurricane generally has three phases, the head, the eye and the tail. The head and tail are the most violent while the eye is usually the calm of the Hurricane, often mistaken by many to be the end of the Storm because it can last up to 45 minutes depending on the size of the weather system.
