Emily's AftermathL: Martinique

Emily aftermath after its trip through Martinique. At the time, winds were only sustained around 40 mph. The culprit of most of the damage was the 6-12 inches of rain, which fell on many of the island nations.
















Martinique is an island in the eastern Caribbean Sea, with a land area of 1,128 km2 (436 sq mi). Like Guadeloupe, it is an overseas region of France, consisting of a single overseas department. To the northwest lies Dominica, to the south St Lucia, and to the southeast Barbados. As with the other overseas departments, Martinique is one of the twenty-seven regions of France (being an overseas region) and an integral part of the Republic. The first European to encounter the island was Christopher Columbus in 1502.
