Hurricane Luis hit the island September 5, 1995. The eye of the hurricane sat on top of the island for 36 hours and just tore everything apart. Everyone who lived through that hurricane said it was the worst one they had experienced.

Here are some photos of the damage done to the boats that were in Simpson Bay Lagoon. These pictures were taken in Feb. 1996, almost 6 months after the hurricane.

And here are some photos taken on the Simpson Bay Beach which is just south of the airport east/west runway. These photos are of Hurricane Lenny which hit the island Nov. 1999.
