In fact, while it affects the Leeward Islands, Maria will reach the status of a major Hurricane status. Hurricane warnings have been issued for areas of Leeward Islands and as the storm moves, the warnings will also extend to other areas.
By the middle of the week, Hurricane Maria is expected to wreak havoc over the British and the US Virgin Islands along with parts of Puerto Rico. Weather experts are closely monitoring Maria to see whether it will become a hurricane as dangerous as Irma and cause the same level of devastation in the Caribbean and other parts.
