The most powerful hurricane in the Atlantic to ever make landfall . Among the top 5 strongest hurricane or typhoon in the world ever . Winds 190 mph ( sustained ) gust at 233 mph . Yet 34 days after , 75 % of the Island has electricity and water . No small feat .
Some commercial flights to the island have begun . Only a few but it is a step in the right direction . Thank you for loving and believing in our Island . It helps us cope with the sacrifices needed to rebuild .
Hi ! My name is Lorie Gilbert i work in televison. My team is currently working on a documentary and we would like to use some of your footage !! Could you please write to me at loriegilbert@me.com so we can talk about this ? Or you can just give me you autorisation if you want. Thank you so much we appreciate.
Exactly! People I know are ready to go back now, even knowing what the island looks like now. SXM will always be a magical island to so many of us who love your Paradise.
the way you're filming is very good
This is unbelievable. I was just on this street 3 weeks ago. So devastating
was that your bag of stuff on the ground?
i was shocked to see the damage myself. suffice to say i'm glad to be alive..
Will you be posting regular updates of the clean up and recovery? I love this island and would like to see it back to its former beauty.
I have walked/shopped on these streets many times. I hardly recognize it. Am supposed to return in December. Doubt it. so very sad
Very sad, we were headed there in December! Looks like a little looting going on...
you can still go....you'll get a great deal!!
Shane Daniel yes, lots of stores had their windows/doors destroyed and more than a few people took advantage of that..

I see pics and posts every day about the progress and it's coming along well, considering what it went through. #SXMstrong

Wow, this is so crazy!
What kinda camera is that
Its a phone, there are still strong winds there
This happened before, and SXM recovered , this time however it really struck hard ....
peter-john de jong
They will recover again.
they had to have a cruise ship evacuate afterward- those French know how to make things happen!!
tom murphy yep i saw it on my way to the airport on sunday! i got evacuated with a military aircraft to puerto rico. it was quite an experience.
What a shame.
A lot of cleanup work to do, eh?
Richard Rabinowitz for sure. when i left the island on sunday they were still cleaning up this area.
It will take months to clean up and longer to rebuild, but they will!
