Caribbean Buzz Helicopters took to the skies to takes these images the day after Irma made landfall across the British Virgin Islands. Areas photographed include Leverick Bay in Virgin Gorda, one the the neighboring islands to Richard Branson’s privately-owned Necker Island, which was almost entirely destroyed by Irma, which is the most powerful hurricane ever recorded to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Another image depicts the jetty at Yacht Club Costa Smeralda which has been torn into pieces. After hitting the Caribbean on Wednesday [September 6], the hurricane continued its deadly path into Cuba and made landfall on the Florida Keys on Sunday [September 10] before pushing up the Gulf Coast.
