NASA photos: Hurricane Irma Turns Caribbean Islands Brown

quote [ Hurricane Irma churned across the Atlantic Ocean in September 2017, battering several Caribbean islands before moving on to the Florida Keys and the U.S. mainland. As the clouds cleared over places like the Virgin Islands, the destruction became obvious even from space. ]

August 25th vs. September 10th. Ouch. This gives a good macro view of the destruction. I read someone who lived through it call Irma, "Like a giant lawn mower rolling over the island."

It's like when you leave guacamole out for too long.
