    It's weird being on a big channel like this and there is only 3 comments on a video.

    Irma is one big ass storm we will never forget, even the Bahamas felt it and it literally went through the west side of Florida. Thats crazy.

    After hurricane Irma slammed into the Caribbean islands of Saint Barthelemy and Saint Martin, footage from the devastated island shows major flooding and destroyed neighborhoods.

    I feel very bad for everyone there. I just went and seen this place for first time in April. Happy we made it then seen the beautiful island when we did. Took 4 wheeler everywhere for a day. The French side is so poor and most people live in sheds most of that part looked like Iraq after the war started. Good luck to them.

    Irma was a mother. We caught the Cat-2 end of it here in Tampa Bay. I think just about everyone in the peninsula was taken for a ride with her

      Mr Awesome they've been doing it for so long I was born in st maarten and past 18 years of my life here there never have been accident cause they know how critical it is to land here evens though it's not allowed to stay in this beach when the plane is landing tourist and local people that lives there still stays and enjoys the landing.

    Why is St. Maarten still ruled by the Dutch?

    • @JipSlinger
      @JipSlinger 7 років тому

      Its not fucking ruled by us. Just read a book. It does still belong to the kingdom, but there is no rule at all. Even tho it is under dutch protection and has a very good relationship with the dutch government. Its because they cant pay there own shit.
