Hurricane Irma: Trump’s Caribbean mansion SLAMMED by deadly storm on the path to Florida

Irma has already destroyed four of the “most solid” buildings on St Martin, according to the French Government.

The US President’s beachfront property on St Martin is understood to have suffered “serious damage”.

Hurricane Irma swept over the 11-bedroom beachfront mansion, named Chateau des Palmiers, or Castle of the Palms, on Wednesday. It is the first of several luxury the Trump’s properties threatened by the storm’s path.

French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said some buildings have been destroyed and social media showed flooded roads and overturned cars on the island that is roughly divided between France and the Netherlands.

Mr Collomb said: ”We know that the four most solid buildings on the island have been destroyed which means that more rustic structures have probably been completely or partially destroyed.”

The Trump Organisation is closely monitoring the situation on St Martin and at a number of the Republican’s properties in Florida.

Responding to reports of Trum’s mansion being hit by the storm, one Twitter user said: “Trump’s Caribbean home was destroyed by Irma #karma.”

Earlier the President tweeted: “President Donald J Trump Approves Emergency Declarations.

He continued: “Just spoke with Governors Rick Scott of Florida, Kenneth Mapp of the US Virgin Islands and Ricardo Rosselló of Puerto Rico. WE ARE WITH YOU ALL!”

The organisation’s spokeswoman Amanda Miller said: ”Our teams at the Trump properties in Florida are taking all of the proper precautions and following local and Florida state advisories very closely to ensure that everyone is kept safe and secure.”

The Caribbean gated estate, for sale for £12.96million ($16.9million), is reportedly owned by a trust and had been rented out.

Irma has already taken a deadly turn with at least three people killed and dozens injured in the Caribbean islands of Barbuda, St Barts and St Martin.

As the storm heads towards Florida Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach – which has been called the “winter White House” and valued by Forbes at £134.1million ($175million) – could also take a hit.

Florida’s governor Rick Scott has ordered more evacuations and warned residents to “get out now”.

Trump bought Palm Beach estate in 1985 and turned it into an exclusive club, which now boasts a membership fee of £153,300 ($200,000).

A staffer who answered the phone said it was closed and declined to comment further.

Forecasts show it could land in Florida and crash into Miami at around 2pm on Sunday. Models show the storm could still be at Category 4 or 5 by the time it reaches the city.

Palm Beach County declared a state of emergency on Wednesday.

Near Miami, Trump owns luxury high-rise condos called the Trump Towers, Sunny Isles, and the oceanfront Trump International Beach Resort.

The National Hurricane Centre holds Irma’s max sustained winds at 185 MPH, with it now the recorded as the strongest storm in the history of the Atlantic Ocean.

NHC scientist Eric Blake said traffic on the northbound Florida Turnpike in Miami showed people were starting to evacuate.

He tweeted: “There is zero to like about NHC forecast trends for SE Florida. Please, please prepare in advance to protect you and your loved ones from Irma.

“Ensemble means are one way to smooth through the noisy deterministic models. This has stayed very similar to yesterday.”
