CHRIST CHURCH, Barbados—Hurricane Elsa caused power outages, blew roofs off homes, toppled trees, and caused flooding in areas of the island-nation of Barbados on Friday.

Minister of Home Affairs, Information and Public Affairs, Wilfred A. Abrahams, urged Barbadians to shelter in place and only leave their homes if the structures were to become damaged.
