 Karakou is one of the islands of Grenada. Officials there reported damage on Monday that included roofs being blown off and maximum wind increasing to top winds of 150 miles per hour or about 240 kilometers per hour, just shy of a Category 5 storm. Hurricane warnings were in effect in Barbados, Grenada, Tobago and St. Vincent and the Grenadines as thousands of people hunkered down in homes and shelters.
