Hurricane Maria hits the Caribbean

The Caribbean has been hit by another powerful hurricane.

Hurricane Maria has battered the island of Dominica with winds of around 160mph.

The country's prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, had to be rescued from his home after the roof was torn off and it was flooded.

Maria's winds got even stronger just before reaching the island, meaning it became a category five hurricane.

This is the strongest a hurricane can be.
