Hurricane Maria: Dominican has suffered widespread damage – Roosevelt Skerrit

Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit says Dominican has suffered widespread damage from Hurricane Maria.

The hurricane strengthened to a potentially catastrophic category five storm, before making landfall on the Caribbean Island.

Earlier, Mr Sherrit had posted live updates as his own roof was turn off, saying he was at the complete mercy of the hurricane.

Hurricane Maria is reportedly moving roughly along the same track as Irma, the hurricane that devastated the region this month.
