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.

Realistically, it doesn't look that bad. No roofs missing, no debris in the streets. Barely see any roof tiles missing.

I can't imagine how horrible it would be to be homeless with children. Single without children would be bad enough-so much more manageable-but kids must add another layer to the nightmare.

Doesn't look real. It's like a child play set scattered about. Think this shows how strong the wind was best.

This is where there should be no remarks that aren't positive. We all need to pull together & help any way we can.

This is one of the reasons why I love this site over going to sites like yahoo and such because there is sometimes one bad apple in the bunch that says something horribly mean. But on BP you don't get that that often people are sympathetic and seem to truly care.
