At least six people are known to have been killed across Grenada and St Vincent, and thousands left homeless after the category five storm made landfall on Tuesday.

It has since been downgraded to category four, but the US National Hurricane Center is warning of "life-threatening winds and storm surge" for Jamaica later on Wednesday and the Cayman Islands into Thursday.

The storm wrecked homes and businesses in the Hastings neighbourhood of Bridgetown, Barbados, on Monday.

Images shared by the Barbados Government Information Service showed the damage to fishing vessels as fishermen tried to save their fleet.
