September 19, 2017. (CNN)The Caribbean island of Dominica has been "devastated" by Hurricane Maria, the country's Prime Minister tells CNN. The powerful storm, which made landfall Monday night, has since been downgraded to a Category 4 with sustained winds of 155 mph. After it passes over Dominica it is on course to score a direct hit on the US territory of Puerto Rico -- the first hurricane of its strength to do so in 85 years.
