still learning ★★☆☆☆ (244)	Landsat 8 has produced a couple of before and after images of the British Virgin Islands, green before and brown after hurricane Irma. While I know that some kinds of trees and shrubs recover from total leaf loss (think winter) and some can't, got to wonder how long the brown will remain.

litesong ★★★★★ (2297)	Hurricane Maria's got no more leaves to destroy on British Virgin Islands. It did blow the roof off the home of Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit. & the Cat 5 hurricane plowed right over the Island. Just warming up on smaller islands, before it scapes off larger islands. Edited on 19-09-2017 06:39

See http://blogs.agu.org/wildwildscience/2017/09/11/green-gone-bvi/ The Islands have flora and fauna evolved to the conditions there. And that includes hurricanes and extreme heat. Showing leaf loss is nothing more than a scientific curiosity that will be watched closely by botanists.

Then a work crew made an error while working on a pump station in the sewage system. And soon, 2,000 gallons of raw sewage was spilling onto a quiet residential street of ranch houses in Edgewater, a town south of Daytona Beach." The Post reported a similar incident taking place in Miami-Dade, with six million gallons of partially treated wastewater being discharged into Biscayne Bay. //////// Transfer lots of the sewage spills in Florida to make "Those islands.... green and pretty again...".
