Tropical Storm ‘Ernesto’

Tropical Storm ‘Ernesto’ passed by St Maarten on 13th of August 2024. It was a moderately strong Atlantic hurricane that caused significant flooding in Puerto Rico before striking Bermuda as a hurricane on the 16th of august. On SXM we experienced high winds, high seas and mostly debris with no recorded injuries.

Here we take a closer look 1 week after Ernesto to see what happened underwater. Note that all beach sand was washed out which came back in 4 days due to a north swell that followed. This is the actual site where we are planning to place our Taino Sungod sculpture soon.
