Hurricane Dean blasts into Caribbean
Hurricane Dean uprooted trees, tore down power lines and ripped the roof off a hospital in St. Lucia on Friday as it raced into the Caribbean on a track that could take it near Jamaica as a dangerously powerful storm next week, officials said. On the nearby French island of Martinique, sustained winds were measured at 120 kilometres per hour with gusts up to 170 km/h, according to France’s weather service.
