Westin St John [Master Thread] - Part 2 (June 2014 and forward)

[farsighted99]

Keep safe everyone who is there. This is so depressing... Am planning to visit in 2019...

Weren't they doing some massive renovations there recently???

Looks like the eye hit Cruz Bay...wondering how the Westin and all the people there made out.

Update from News of St. John:

On that same post in the comments someone said they heard from friends who were at the Westin. They were moved to higher ground. Lots of trees were down and at least one building had lost its roof.

Praying for all the people
Sounds like many are safe but island is really going to be changed

Can't tell from the photo if those are Sunset Bay or Coral Vista. Looks like all buildings took major roof damage. Probably the case for most, if not all of the phases.

Sunset. Down by pool but I am sure they all have some damage. To think they were in the final month or two of a $95mm villa and property update.

I am pretty sure it is Sunset Bay.

Definitely looks like Sunset Bay.

I don't post much anymore, but I do read/follow a lot of different St John feeds. The damage appears to be pretty bad for the island. Power is out for the whole island and will probably be out for 1-2 months in some areas. The photos for Barbuda and St Martin and finally coming in, and those islands are devastated.

Ivan's Stress free bar on JVD was totally wiped out.

I assume you were there. Were the other buildings damaged? Is the resort still open?

Sorry, I was not there. Just following on Facebook. Comments there say people are all safe, but quite a bit of damage. No water, running on a generator for electricity, but no AC.

I thought cell towers were down?
Curious to hear/see how the roofs of the VGV hillside villas held up?
The videos/photos from Tortola are horrific...
Anegada must be wiped clean.

Hersheysfinest is about to have large increase in IG follows...
the photos on IG are very clear. It looks as if the houses on the hillside (above gas station) still have their roofs (good) - but vegetation is wiped clean.
Luckily it grows fast - amazing how resilient palm trees are.
