Residents of many Caribbean Islands barely had time to catch their breath after Hurricane Irma ravaged their shores before a second Category 5 hurricane came barreling through.

Hurricane Maria devastated the Leeward Islands of Dominica and Guadeloupe on Monday and Tuesday, and has turned its destructive eye on Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Here's what the damage looks like on the ground.
