The category 5 Hurricane Irma has ripped through the Caribbean, causing deaths, flash foods and flattened landscapes.
Before and after images show the devastation that Irma has wrought on the British Virgin Islands and St Martin, including the Dutch half of the island called Sint Maarten.
Irma is expected to continue on to Cuba, where a hurricane warning is in place and tourists are being encouraged to leave, and it could reach Florida by late Saturday.
