Following in Irma’s wake was Hurricane Jose, with some of the islands hit hardest by Irma in its expected path. The US Consulate General in Curacao said it believes about 6,000 Americans are stranded on Saint Martin. Three more deaths were reported on the British island of Anguilla, as well as Barbuda and the Dutch side of Saint Martin. Irma also slammed the French island of Saint Barts, tearing off roofs and knocking out electricity in the high-end tourist destination. French Minister of the Interior Gerard Collomb said 100,000 food rations were sent to Saint Barts and Saint Martin, the equivalent of four days of supplies.
