Some of you do not have social media accounts or can access the links easily to see the damage that has been done. My main point here is to help spread the news that the islands need help and fast. These are not my photos, and they are not for sale or profit. Just for a better understanding of the issue at hand. I have posted photos of many events in the BVI here on TTOL and have never sold them. If there are any issues please let us know and they will be removed. I will update as time permits and new images are available. https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-k4smBk/ Thanks Steve

We've always (kind of) considered that we "grew up" there.. Didn't realize how many stories I had until we took niece and nephew in law on charter last month.

From all the pics I have seen in the last 2 days it appears that the BVI, SXM and Barbuda took the brunt of this monster. Most pics look like the aftermath of a huge tornado! God bless and watch over all the residents that need to survive.

Hoping Cheryl will surface sometime soon and is OK..

Updates from Dive BVI and Javier Trellis Vigin Gorda Yacht harbor Marina Cay Scrub West End St thomas And some good photos of relief! Air support landing at Beef and the PR Navy arriving Virgin Gorda unloading meals, water, generators. As time goes on I hope to have good news pictures. If you can donate to the cause there are a few sites that can be found on FB. https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-k4smBk/
