Tortola - The Hurricane Irma Aftermath 

In September 2017, Hurricane Irma ripped through the Caribbean. It was a storm like few we've seen before.
The damage estimate from Hurricane Irma is up to $100 billion. Hurricane Matthew’s damages last year were about $15 billion. Hurricane Harvey hit the U.S. Aug. 25 as a Category 4 storm, and experts are estimating up to $180 billion in damages. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 killed 55 people and caused more than $20 billion in damage across the U.S. and the Bahamas. The death toll was 134 people.
We were able to go out to the British Virgin Islands in October to assist with local insurance efforts, using our drone technology, to help begin the rebuilding process. We spent most of our time on Tortola the largest island in the BVI and were able to make a short film about the Hurricane and the rebuilding process.
