Caribbean - Hurricane Maria strengthened into a "potentially catastrophic" Category Five storm as it barrelled into eastern Caribbean islands still reeling from Irma, forcing residents to evacuate in powerful winds and lashing rain. The maximum-strength storm made landfall on the Caribbean island of Dominica around 01:15 GMT on Tuesday with top winds swirling at 257km/h, the US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said. "Dangerous" storm surges, destructive waves, flash floods and mudslides threatened the Leeward Islands - the island group that includes Martinique, Puerto Rico and the US and British Virgin islands - the NHC said.
Kenya - Heavy rains along Kenya’s coast caused floods in Mombasa which are expected to spread to Lamu, the coastal parts of Tana River and southern parts of Taita Taveta counties.
