This is one of the things that makes one appreciate living in South Africa.

Sam Branson shared a video of the devastation that Tropical Cyclone Irma has left on Tortola, which is part of the British Virgin Islands.
The video shows some buildings left completely destroyed, leaving many homeless. It is unclear whether there are any casualties yet.
According to metro.co.uk, Sam and his father Richard are currently on Necker Island, where their luxury resort has been completely destroyed.
Sam told metro.co.uk that he urges people to be careful as there was a lot of damage on the island and many buildings have been damaged, making them unsafe to be around.
