Hurricane Beryl brought devastating winds and heavy rain to several Caribbean islands on Monday as the earliest-ever Category 4 storm churned westward.
Video obtained by AFP from St. George’s in Grenada showed heavy downpours with trees buffeted by gusts. Experts say that such a powerful storm forming this early in the Atlantic hurricane season -- which runs from early June to late November -- is extremely rare.“Only five major hurricanes have been recorded in the Atlantic before the first week of July,“ hurricane expert Michael Lowry posted on social media platform X.
Barbados seems to have “dodged a bullet,“ Minister of Home Affairs and Information Wilfred Abrahams said in an online video, but nonetheless “gusts are still coming, the storm-force winds are still coming” he said. Beryl is expected to remain a “powerful hurricane” as it continues churning westward, the NHC said, with tropical storm warnings or watches announced in Jamaica and in parts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
