Hurricane Irma plowed past the Dominican Republic on Thursday after devastating a string of Caribbean islands and killing at least 11 people as one of the most powerful Atlantic storms in a century took aim at Florida. With winds of around 180 mph, the storm lashed several small islands in the northeast Caribbean, including Barbuda, St Martin and the British Virgin Islands, tearing down trees, flattening homes and causing widespread damage. — AFP
