Richard Branson's Son Produces Short Films To Illustrate The Devastation By Hurricane Irma

I will keep this post brief.  Hurricane Irma ripped through the Virgin Islands along with Puerto Rico and have wreaked devastation which continues to be dealt with.  This, of course, was before the next Hurricane -- Maria -- which did additional damage.  Sir Richard Branson owns an island off of the British Virgin Islands -- Necker Island.  The island was destroyed and left only minimal structures as shown in the short (less than a minute) video shown below:

The devastation is apparent in the video.  Rebuilding the island will depend on the financial situation of Sir Richard Branson.  Simply because he owns the island.  Of course, the process might be sped up with the cash available on part by the wealth of Sir Richard Branson.



But what if the inhabitants of disaster zones do not have the 'cash flow' to rebuild in a quick manner?



The British Virgin Islands got hit equally hard as did Necker Island along with Puerto Rico.  Devastation has been widespread and the resources have been decimated which is why the process of restoring resources (electricity, water and sewage, etc.) will take a long time (some on the scale of months).  Sam Branson did a wonderful job of detailing the devastation in the video below which is just shy of 22 minutes in length.  I highly suggest watching the video - which can be streamed from the 'YouTube' site also.  Without further ado, watch the video below regarding the devastation of Hurricane Irma:

Wow.  Remember, the devastation that is documented in the video below was right due to Hurricane Irma.  Shortly after the video was made, Hurricane Maria drove through and wreaked more havoc on the Islands.  Imagine the process of restoration with no resources?  Keep the residents of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in your thoughts as they struggle to rebuild their regions.  Hopefully, the U.S. congress will step up relief efforts to help speed up the restoration process.
