It is dumping a lot of rain on the islands. Damaging winds of about 110 mph (175kph) has knocked out power to about half of its 65,000 residents. Storm surges are expected to also hit the low island.
The island also suffered a hit last week from Tropical Storm Fay. It knocked down trees and the island has not yet fully recovered from it. People are mostly prepared for the storm, although Fay did blow off a few roofs.
In order to make sure the people on the island have sufficient relief after the storm, England has sent the HMS Argyll. It will arrive after the storm passes through.
