The hurricane already hit Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines with venom, and now encroaches on Jamaica.
Hurricane Beryl was upgraded to a Category 5 storm earlier today, making it the earliest storm to hit the heavy-hitting benchmark on record. The storm’s winds peaked at a staggering 160 miles per hour as it continued its northwesterly course across the Caribbean. Philip Klotzbach , a meteorologist at Colorado State University, stated on X that the previous record-holder was Hurricane Emily, which hit Category 5 status on July 17, 2005.
Life-threatening winds and storm surge are expected in Jamaica on Wednesday as Beryl continues to move west just south of Hispaniola. Jamaica is under a hurricane warning, and NWS stated a tropical storm warning is in effect for the Cayman Islands and southwestern Haiti.
