Hurricane History

Hurricane Hugo (1989, Category 4) caused significant damage to the territory, unroofing 30% of homes. Hurricane Luis (1995, Category 4) brought hurricane-force winds to the northern islands, followed just nine days later by Hurricane Marilyn.

Hurricane Irma (2017, Category 5) was the most devastating storm in BVI history. Sustained winds of 295 km/h185 mph damaged or destroyed approximately 85% of the territory's housing stock (4,200 homes). Estimated damage reached $3.6 billion.

Just two weeks later, Hurricane Maria (2017, Category 5) passed nearby and caused additional damage to the already-devastated islands.

Geography & Terrain

The BVI comprises over 60 islands and cays, with four main inhabited islands. Tortola, the largest and most populous, has steep volcanic terrain with deep valleys and ridgelines reaching Mount Sage at 523 m1,716 ft, the highest point in all of the Virgin Islands.

Virgin Gorda rises to 417 m1,368 ft at Gorda Peak, and Jost Van Dyke is hilly with a peak of 321 m1,053 ft. Anegada is the exception: a flat coral and limestone atoll with a maximum elevation of just 8 m26 ft, surrounded by one of the Caribbean's largest barrier reef systems.

Tortola's steep terrain creates significant orographic lift, producing noticeably higher rainfall on windward slopes compared to the leeward coast where Road Town sits. Anegada's flat profile produces no such enhancement and leaves it highly vulnerable to storm surge.
