In September, the Caribbean islands of Dominica and St. Croix were hit with two major hurricanes, including Hurricane Maria which struck the island of Dominica as a Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of over 150 miles per hour.  Both islands were devasted by these storms.  There are sixteen CCCU churches in Dominica and one CCCU church in St. Croix.  Nearly every church was damaged, and many churches were severely damaged.
