Still a lot of rain on St. Maarten

the hague - The inhabitants of Saint Maarten should still take into account heavy rain showers in the coming hours. In some places, it may be 50 millimeters or more, according to the KNMI. The worst storms are over.

The eye of Hurricane Irma pulled over the island on Wednesday afternoon and is now drawing over the British Virgin Islands to Florida. However, it is still quite hard at Saint Maarten with wind force 7. On social media there are many videos of huge storms, bogsome houses and streets, blown rooftops and twisted trees.

The government is busy with the coordination of national and international assistance. The Dutch governors live along, said Prime Minister Mark Rutte. He pointed out that, as soon as weather permits, two navy ships will deliver military and emergency supplies from Aruba and Curaçao. Hundreds of soldiers are already in the area.
