Roads around the hospital remain closed as emergency services became concerned about the safety of part of its roof.

Countless trees are down across the island. Islanders are asked not to report them to the police, who are receiving unprecedented volumes of calls.

Fire crews, tree surgeons and Infrastructure and parish staff are dealing with the debris.

But with reports to Channel 103 that St Martin alone as lost trees numbering in the hundreds, the clear up will take days.

Roofs, sheds, fences and cars are among the other casualties.
