Hurricane Irma raged across the Caribbean and Florida this weekend, leaving millions of people without power and causing at least 11 deaths, according to ABC News.
The storm — which began as a Category 5 and is now down to a post-tropical cyclone — ravaged through smaller islands on its way to hitting Florida.
The island of St. Martin suffered the brunt of the storm early on.
Some before-and-after photos have been shared on social media of the storm’s impact, showing city streets flooded now that the storm has moved on.
Other photos, which began circulating online Tuesday, show more widespread damage from the storm.
As The Verge pointed out, islands in the Caribbean literally changed colors because of the damage from the storm, transitioning islands like Barbuda and Antigua from green and verdant to empty and brown.
“Now that the clouds are starting to part, it’s possible to see the damage from above with satellites. The contrast before and after the storm is stark,” The Verge explained, pointing to NASA’s Earth Observatory information. “Islands with verdant landscapes at the end of August were left brown and barren by the hurricane.”
Indeed, the photos from NASA show how much these islands changed because of the storm’s havoc.
We’ve collected those photos from the Earth Observatory and posted them below.
