I am grateful that I was able to visit a few of the islands impacted by Hurricane Irma in 2016: Puerto Rico, St. Martin and Martinique.

Puerto Rico, while having lost power on some of the island, seems to be doing fine. St. Martin, however, is said to have suffered much damage. I never took photos while in St. Martin as I left my camera on the cruise ship. But I did take pictures Martinique, a French Caribbean island, which is also said to be doing OK post-Irma.
