Hurricane Omar picked up speed hours before hitting St. Maarten and quickly went from a category 1 to category 3 Hurricane...to put that in perspective, Katrina was also a Category 3. At 2AM, 115 MPH winds and torrential rain struck the island and devastated much in its path. Although I was absolutely terrified that our home would slide down the hill, we were completely safe. Once the government-mandated curfew was lifted around 4PM the next day we were able to leave our house and check out the damage.
