At least 13 killed as storm hits Caribbean

The death toll from recordbreaking Hurricane Irma climbed to 13 Thursday as the vicious storm churned across the Caribbean.

Still an “extremely dangerous” Category 5 hurricane, Irma’s winds decreased only slightly to 175 mph as it moved west-northwest along the northern coast of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where more than 7,000 people were displaced by damage by the raging weather system, CNN reported.

The storm was pummeling the Turks and Caicos Islands Thursday night. It was projected to head toward the Bahamas and Cuba Friday.

In its wake, Irma left several islands in the Caribbean still assessing the widespread damage.

Four people were killed in St. Martin, where officials estimated that 95 percent of the is- land’s buildings and infrastructure have been destroyed.

The island’s beachfront Princess Juliana Airport — world famous for low-flying jet that spectacularly buzz low over beach-going sunbathers — has been smashed into wreckage, hampering the delivery of supplies.

The fate of President Trump’s sprawling, 11-bedroom vacation home on the island’s Plum Bay was not immediately known.

Trump has listed the lavish spread, called “Le Chateau des Palmiers,” for sale at $16.9 million, $2.8 million less than the price he paid for it for in 2013.

The death toll in St. Martin and nearby St. Barts could rise as rescue teams finish their inspections, said French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb. St. Barts is French territory, as is half of St. Martin.

“It’s a tragedy; we’ll need to rebuild both islands,” he said.

Authorities announced that three people were killed on the US Virgin Islands, which suffered “catastrophic” damage.

While Puerto Rico was spared the worst of Irma’s wrath, at least three people were killed on that US island — including a woman who was electrocuted and a man killed while driving.

More than 1 million people are still without power on the island.
