Hurricane Irma Attacks Tortola from sailingscuttlebutt.com
Surrounded by mangroves, Tortola’s Paraquita Bay in the British Virgin Islands is where charter companies hide their boats from approaching storms. But it proved to be insufficient when Hurricane Irma arrived on Wednesday, September 6, 2017.
Our thanks to Vicki Lathom and Barry Miller for this unusual shot from a radar app.
Larry:
Thought you’d be interested in a screen shot taken on a cell phone radar app that my partner, Barry Miller, just took of the eye of Irma. Look at Road Town, BVI. Right in the eye.
Will the photo work for your Irma updates?
We are planning to trek down the ICW to Florida this winter on our trawler. May be more interesting than desirable.
