He knows speed, force and power and had some victims of his own, but when Tropical Storm Erika slammed into the small island in the Caribbean where he was born, former West Indies fast bowler Adam Sanford was bowled over by the devastation of lives and infrastructure in Dominica.
Tropical Storm Erika came like a thief in the night, arriving without warning in the early hours of August 27, as islanders slept.
The storm dumped 13 inches of rain in 12 hours, it turned mountainsides to mush causing catastrophic landslides, and rivers into rushing overflowing torrents, claiming 34 lives and devouring 271 homes across the island.
However, after the initial shock of the catastrophe wore off, Sanford and his wife Jo, decided to take a pro- active role and do something to help.
Their efforts includes collecting food, clothing, and other articles for the many left homeless and with nothing to eat or wear. The couple also welcome cash donation to assist in rebuilding homes that were destroyed.
