The threat is becoming clearer! Less than twenty-four hours before the arrival of cyclone Irma on the Northern Islands, the population of Saint-Martin is preparing to live long, agonizing hours. Before "Mother Nature" got angry, we took advantage of a beautiful sunny day yesterday to gather the impressions of Saint-Martinois. So are you worried?
Nifaiya Mussington:
“Like everyone else, I follow the evolution of Hurricane Irma closely. According to the latest forecasts, the news is hardly encouraging. I sincerely hope that its trajectory will suddenly change direction.
In the meantime, I'm taking advantage of this beautiful day (note: yesterday Monday) to cycle with my friends. Then come what may… ”
Michel Hodge:
“The least we can say is that the latest weather reports do not argue in our favor! Let us now bet that cyclone "Irma" is not the twin brother of ... "Luis".
The memory of the passage of "Luis" in 1995 is still anchored in the memory of the population of Saint-Martin ".
René Arnell:
“From memory, the famous cyclone“ Luis ”pointed the tip of its nose on the Northern Islands on a certain Tuesday September 5, 1995. Twenty-two years later, practically day for day, its“ colleague ”Irma, disembarks in Saint- Martin.
Let us hope that this new cyclonic phenomenon will not be as devastating as its predecessor ”.
