Hurricane Maria delivered a direct and ferocious hit to the Caribbean island of Dominica over the course of Monday night, pulverizing the island with the full force of the elements.
SEE ALSO:Hurricane Maria rapidly intensifies, aims for a rare, devastating direct hit on Puerto RicoSatellite imagery depicted the hurricane engulfing the island, which struck with sustained winds of 160 miles per hour after intensifying from a Category 1 to a Category 5 in less than 24 hours.
Maria is the only Category 5 storm to have struck Dominica on record.
The commonwealth's prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, delivered a harrowing report from his own battered home, detailing "mind-boggling" and "widespread devastation."

The National Hurricane Center is warning of a "life-threatening" storm surge for all of the Leeward Islands, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. And now, images of the storm's power are beginning to emerge.

The French Caribbean island Guadeloupe was also in the direct path of the storm. Residents of Pointe-à-Pitre weathered flooding, winds, rain, and widespread damage.

Maria is expected to reach Puerto Rico, to which many Caribbean island evacuees have fled, on Wednesday. If it sustains its Category 5 status, it will be the first storm of that magnitude to hit the island since 1928.

With the repeated devastation of these islands, here's hoping neighboring nations heed Prime Minister Skerrit's call for help.
"We will need help, my friend," wrote Skerrit on Facebook. "We will need help of all kinds."
