I know it's probably to early to ask but, does anyone have any info on how Orient Beach, Orient Village and Grand Case fared in the storm?

Nothing specific yet but below is a statement from a good friend who lives on the island. I guess they watch a lot of American TV.
"I am safe....Irma leaves with only destruction in its wake...Total island devastated...[color:"red"]Looting everywhere.[/color]"

I think info is going to be sketchy for a day or two. There will be massive telecoms infrastructure damage, who knows how well internet is going to work going forward?

I just saw the Calmos' pics. As if I wasn't already disheartened enough.

I think the picture of the resort is in the Maho area.

The pictures Calmos Cafe posted are absolutely heart wrenching. it is just so totally...mowed down. I'm pretty sure you can see the c'est lavie sign peeking out from some of the bar rubble.

Based on where I see the sand having accumulated and extent of destruction, I made this artists rendition of what I imagine the storm surge to have been. Probably about 8 feet in height that had waves passing Tap-5 Pizza. So Sad! https://www.phowd.com/photo/29848/surge

Bob Dot--are you referring to the link in the post above yours, as I don't see the Alegria lobby in it.

https://www.phowd.com/photo/29848/surgeNice work At first I couldn't find your rendition, I thought you were putting sand and then I saw you added water. This is the first photo I recognized of anything near Orient. Not good, but not gone either. Please post if you find anything of the new shops, beach bars, club o, Pedro's or mt Vernon.....
