Found this picture on Facebook of the storm damage at Spring Bay, Virgin Gorda: https://scontent.forf1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v...amp;oe=59EE2762

The ghut next to Nicole's in Brewer's Bay looks about like that. Looks like the flow overtopped the bridge and washed out the road. Rocks and gravel spread out into the bay at several spots.

That picture brought tears to my eyes.

The picture almost looks fake...I am sick.

A friend of ours on Virgin Gorda said they got 15 inches of rain from the storm!

This is heartbreaking.....

"spring bay gone" sigh

So sad. Is that because of beach sand filling the bay?

No it is 11 inches of rain falling on a volcanic island with only a thin layer of soil to hold rocks the water came down the hill with Force bringing some rocks and blasting a creek thru the beach sand uncovering more rock

I'm not a beachologist but I am guessing if the beach got formed once, won't it get formed again fairly quickly?

My guess is one one or two sessions of north swell will bring the beach back close to normal. The problem will be the reef. All that sand and detritus from up the hill is now trapped between the shore and the reef has burried the coral.
