The Rodriguez Residence, Hannah's Rest. My brother, his wife and daughter live here. As you can see, part of the roof was blown off. |
My brother's neighbors' homes. As you can see, most roofs have been blown off. Plants are for the most part withered. |
Hotel on the Cay. Before the storm most of the building was hidden behind various trees. This hotel is located in Christiansted. |
Strand Street looking north. This was once a park. See St. Croix, Page 2. The park was repaired and in 2005 rebuilt. See St. Croix, Page 9 |
Queen Street looking south towards Fisher. The truck is turning onto Hill Street. As you can see most roofs have been blown off. |
The tamarind tree that once stood proudly in Harrigan Court, overlooking Queen Mary Highway (Centerline Road). The shade it provided was immediately missed! |
The "in" t-shirt for the festival. I think Nelson is wearing this one. (Nelson said it's him!) |
Hurricane Hugo could not stop the Crucians from having a good time. This was from a troupe in the parade in Christiansted. |
This was part of the Three Kings Day Parade in Frederiksted, January 1990. This troupe depicts the fear the tourists felt after the hurricane. |

The "old" pier. It experienced heavy damages. |
April 19, 2020 - I began cleaning out my closets a while back since I decided to rent the small room of my apartment to a friend. I had to shift things around which had been stored in the closets to make space. In so doing, I decided to get rid of the many photo albums I had stored in the foyer closet. Damn, I did not know I had that many photo albums. Before shredding the photos/postcards and souvenirs, I looked at them and decided to keep a few. I will post what I saved and scanned on various pages. Some photos and postcards may be posted on other pages. Everything posted will be as scanned without adjusting the photo for color, clarity, etc. What you see is what you get. Watermark will not be added. No kallaloo here, just simplicity. Below are the photos/postcards/souvenirs being added. Keep in mind, some may be duplicates. Enjoy!!! |
