I would say yes, Steemhunt helped on my rep score. Take a look at this:
Day 30 - 42
Day 60 - 46
Day 77 - 51 (today)

It was after day 60 when I started Steemhunt so as you can see, my rep score accelerated with 5 notches in 17 days as compared to without Steemhunt where I gained only 4 notches in 30 days (from day 30 to 60).

The flood in other areas was about a stand high so that is about 1.7 meters. I just got confirmation from my nephew that the flood did not somehow enter our house. The previous news I got was from our tenant who was just afraid it would finally enter them at the first floor. I also go confirmation that the flood has receded and the rain is just drizzle now. The typhoon has moved to Hong Kong and currently pounding that part of the world. They are also on highest alert level.

And by the way, about Steemhunt, if you want to join hunting you have to know that the payout is not the same as 75%-author, 25%-curator split. Steemhunt takes its own percentage of the payout. Here is an example of my Solar Sinter Hunt.

Regardless of Steemhunt's cut though, I haven't earned as much and as fast as I did with my regular posts as compared to Steemhunt. Meaning, it is still worth to go hunting.
