It looks like Hurricane Sandy is not just affecting the Eastern
United states anymore; Officials say at least six French citizens boating in
the Caribbean are missing after they disappeared during Hurricane
Sandy's storm
swell.
The French Transportation Ministry told the Sipa news agency on
Monday that the group of six was believed to have disappeared on Sunday while
between the islands of Martinique and Dominica.
Sebastien Roux of the Antilles-Guyane rescue service says the group
left in a motorboat on Sunday for a music festival in Dominica and was supposed
to return on Monday.
Roux says "people close to them grew worried when they
didn't show up". An aeroplane and helicopter have joined the search for
those missing, but Roux says it is also possible the group took shelter in a
port.
Martinique was under an alert for rough seas as
Hurricane Sandy continued wreak havoc in the ocean. The storm caused widespread
flooding and wind damage in the Caribbean and is blamed for at least 69 deaths.
