Jon, thank you for posting these videos of St. John. This is the visual confirmation I needed to know that my family fared as well as anyone could under the circumstances(1:20). My thoughts and prayers are with all my fellow St. Johnians and VIslanders!
Estate Concordia was reduced to splinters...it is heart breaking to see all this destruction. Thank you for taking and sharing this footage we had not been able to find anything on this side of the island.
Jon, thank you for posting these videos. I think they are incredibly thorough. Myself and my family are off island and this answered so many questions about the current state of not only our property but the infrastructure and how we go about getting on island and helping. I think you deserve a lifetime of cold ones, or something to that regard.
Jon Adams The problem is updating disaster maps becomes very slow and manual intensive labour. Here's an example of the map work done manually. napsg.maps.arcgis.com/apps/StoryMapCrowdsource/index.html?appid=65f0dde429504c3cb07f0cae0f2c4be6
As you can see from the map link, it is being used but the amount of work is going to increase. If you and your wife (thank you for all the help by the way!!!) - can use geo-tagging, the work will go a lot faster and be more precisely plotted on a map (providing the helicopter is over land ...) and will help fill in a lot of blanks. Images of infrastructure are sorely needed. Unfortunately, the FEMA map cannot use them at all without geo-tagging and thus, it's upload and plotting of data is 1/10 of the NAPSG Portal

Dan, I could not have said it any better and the next round is on me.
If that were to happen, you would not hear any complaints from me!
thanx man...heartbreaking seeing Cali-boom in splinters...and Johnson beach writers colony....gone
Did you manage to take any geo-tagged photos? Would be extremely helpful for disaster recovery agencies plotting reconstruction efforts.
Doug Hanchard no, but my wife took a bunch of photos whose locations are easily identified on a map.
