Tropical Storm Matthew Gusts Through Hilton Barbados

Tropical Storm Matthew passed through Barbados on Wednesday, September 28, bringing with it intense wind gusts and power outages. The storm arrived “a few hours later than originally expected,” according to the local Nation News. At 10 pm local time, the Barbados Meteorological Service discontinued a tropical storm warning for the island. Despite this, schools remained closed on the island Thursday.

The storm is expected to evolve into a hurricane overnight, gaining strength as it moves north toward Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas. Credit: Instagram/lbos23
