Hurricane Maria the second maximum‑strength Atlantic storm of the season, is bearing down on the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
The category five Hurricane has already inflicted "widespread damage" on the Caribbean island of Dominica.
It briefly weakened to a four but is now again packing top sustained winds of 280km/h.
The storm is moving roughly along the same track as Irma, this season's other category five hurricane.
Local officials said one person was killed by a falling tree in the overseas French territory of Guadeloupe.
