It was not just Irma butt...: I survived Hurricane Irma - History, Drama, Non-Fiction Claire Lesperance

This book is a compilation of happenings during and after Hurricane Irma in Sint Maarten. It was a really hard time in History. I could not let it just pass and not let my voice be heard. We were ill-prepared for the storm. And we had to face the consequences indeed. The government and the people had no clue of the impact the storm would have on Sint Maarten. Our economy is based on Tourisme only. So you could imagine what is happening with us during this time (after the storm) when almost all the Hotels, Restaurants and Bars are devastated by the Hurricane. Most of the population is unemployed at the moment, December 2017. We can only pray for a miracle from God that God preserves us from any future disaster. I pray that we get through this and that we, the people and the government, admit our mistakes, and prepare for our future so that we never have to through such terrible times again in History.
