No games were played today in the St Kitts & Nevis 13 & Under Tournament and don't look like any will be played this week as Hurricane Earl tore through the northern Caribbean on Monday, escalating to Category Four status with winds up to 135 miles an hour that downed power lines, damaged homes and sent hundreds of people fleeing to emergency shelters.
Bermuda’s Under 13 National Cricket Team is in St. Kitt’s taking part in the St Kitts & Nevis 13 & Under Tournament, Director of Under 13 Cricket for the Bermuda Cricket Board Calvin Waldron who is with the team told www.islandstats.com exclusively, “St. Kitts got a hit by Hurricane Earl, High Winds and Rain since yesterday, it is still going although its eased down a bit. We will just waiting for the Airport to reopen to see when we can possibly depart here, everyone in the traveling party is OK”.
The National Weather Service said Monday afternoon that the governments of Antigua and Barbuda had discontinued a tropical storm warning for both islands, and the warning was also lifted for Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis.
“The Winds were pretty high, although I don’t know what the speeds were. There has been a lot of rain, the team stayed at the hotel while the storm blew through, I do believe there is damage to some residents property across the Island and from what I can see there wasn't any damage to the hotel,” concluded Waldron.
