Hurricane Dean pounded the eastern Caribbean islands of St. Lucia and Martinique Friday and is gaining strength as it moves westward.
Passing between the two islands, the hurricane caused flooding, downed trees, ripped off roofs and knocked out power. Police report at least one death in St. Lucia.
The hurricane is expected to strengthen as it moves over the warm water of the Caribbean Sea. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Dean has strengthened into a powerful Category 3 storm.
Forecasters said that Dean's current path could take it to Jamaica on Sunday, and the storm could reach the Yucatan peninsula early Tuesday morning.
