Category 5 Hurricane Beryl Kills 10, Causes Devastation Across Caribbean, Heads Toward Mexico
Jul 4, 2024, 06:31 AM
Hurricane Beryl, the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic, has caused widespread devastation across the Caribbean. The storm, which has now weakened to a Category 3, has killed at least 10 people and left a trail of destruction in its wake. It has battered islands such as Grenada, where the prime minister described the damage as 'Armageddon-like,' Carriacou, and St. Vincent. Jamaica experienced extensive flooding, power outages, and structural damage as the storm hit with winds up to 145 mph. The hurricane is now heading towards Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, where it is expected to make landfall soon. Residents in the region have been warned to brace for strong winds, dangerous storm surges, and heavy rainfall. The Cayman Islands are also preparing for impact. Scientists have cited human-caused climate change as a likely factor in the storm's rapid intensification.
