Hurricane Maria is growing in force as it tears its way across the Caribbean.

Dominica's prime minister said "all that money can buy" on the tiny island has been obliterated in the storm.

At least one person has died in the French territory of Guadeloupe.

Maritza Stanchich is in Puerto Rico as the storm approaches and told Mike Hosking people are anxious about the pending catastrophe.

"CNN is saying get out or die, and you know we're on an island [some people] can't get out or can't afford a flight out."
