Hurricanes 2017
During September 2017, many of the Caribbean islands that we know and love were virtually wiped out when three of the largest-ever and most powerful hurricanes - Irma, Jose and Maria - tore through them within the space of three weeks causing catastrophic damage in Barbuda, Saint Barthélemy, Sint Maarten, Anguilla, the Virgin Islands, Dominica and Puerto Rico.
