Hurricane Beryl Strikes Caribbean with Devastating Strength as Category 4 Storm

Hurricane Beryl, a powerful Category 4 storm, made landfall in the Caribbean, specifically on the island of Carriacou, Grenada. The storm, fueled by record warm waters, is the earliest Category 4 storm to form in the Atlantic Ocean. With winds reaching nearly 150 mph, just shy of Category 5 strength, the storm caused significant destruction on Carriacou and other parts of the southeastern Caribbean. Roofs were torn off, trees were uprooted, and damage was widespread.

The director of the National Hurricane Center, Michael Brennan, issued a warning to residents in the affected areas, urging them to stay indoors and not venture out into the eye of the storm. The situation was described as very serious, with safety being the top priority for those in the storm’s path.

Canadian travel blogger captured the intensity of Hurricane Beryl, describing the experience as witnessing intense rain, powerful winds, and massive Atlantic waves generated by the storm. The images and videos shared by eyewitnesses highlighted the destructive force of the hurricane and the impact it had on the communities in its path.

As Hurricane Beryl continues to move through the Caribbean, residents are urged to stay safe and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their property. The powerful storm serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for extreme weather events, especially in hurricane-prone regions.
