Hurricane Wreaks Havoc in Grenada

The most significant damage has been reported in Grenada, where Hurricane Beryl made landfall as a Category 4 storm. Officials estimate that the hurricane caused extensive damage to homes and infrastructure, particularly in the capital city, St. George's. A spokesperson for the Grenadian government stated that the airport has been closed due to storm damage, and many roads are impassable.

Hurricane Beryl's impact has extended to other Caribbean islands, including St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Tobago, and St. Lucia. While the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, reports indicate widespread power outages, flooding, and structural damage.

Record-Breaking Intensity

Meteorologists have noted that Hurricane Beryl has become the earliest recorded Category 5 Atlantic hurricane. This achievement highlights the extreme power and unpredictability of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season.

As Hurricane Beryl continues to move westward toward the Yucatán Peninsula and Belize, forecasters predict that the storm will remain a hurricane. Residents in the affected areas are urged to monitor updates and take necessary precautions to stay safe.
