Tornado damage on St. Maarten

“Eye 4 Weather” reports that St. Maarten was hit by a tornado on Saturday.

There were reports that a tornado damaged some properties in the Dawn Beach area yesterday afternoon and thankfully, there were no reports of any injuries.

Although the local region is being affected with heavy & persistent showers, these showers are NOT associated with a tropical system. These conditions are due to a cluster of thunderstorms that are moving through the northeastern Caribbean. Furthermore, conditions are forecast to improve by later this evening.
