Troopiline torm Erika räsis neljapäeval Dominica saart muutes tänavad jõgedeks ja põhjustades mitmel pool maalihkeid, surma sai vähemalt neli inimest, teatasid võimuesindajad.

Mitmel pool on katkenud elektrivool ja sideühendused.

Politseiülema Daniel Carboni täpsustuse kohaselt tabas saare lõunaosas mudavool elumaja, kus elu jätsid vanem mees ja kaks last. Maalihke järel leiti veel üks surnud mees pealinnast Rouseaust.

Meteoroloogide hinnangul võib Erika tugevneda Florida suunas liikudes orkaaniks.

Erika kese asus neljapäeval 255 kilomeetri kaugusel läänes Guadeloupest ja see liikus lääne suunas kiirusega 26 kilomeetrit tunnis, edastas USA riiklik orkaanihoiatuskeskus.
