High winds and heavy rain as Caribbean hit by hurricane

Hurricane Warning flags were flying in Jamaica on Tuesday as Category 5 Hurricane Beryl hurtled toward the island. Beryl blasted through the Windward Islands on Monday as a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds, killing seven and causing severe damage. On Monday night and Tuesday morning, Beryl peaked as a Category 5 storm with 165 mph winds, making it the strongest Atlantic hurricane on record in July (old record: 160 mph on July 17, 2005, Hurricane Emily, the only other July Cat 5 on record). The prior record for earliest Atlantic hurricane with 165 mph winds was August 5, 1980 (Hurricane Allen). Update: At 2 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Beryl remained a resilient, powerful Category 4 hurricane with top winds of 145 mph, located about 250 miles east-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica. Beryl was moving west-northwest at 22 mph, so the hurricane’s full fury is expected to reach Jamaica during the day on Wednesday, including destructive winds and a storm surge of as high as 6 to 9 feet in some areas. Torrential rains with potential landslides and flooding will affect not only Jamaica but Hispaniola, including parts of highly vulnerable Haiti. Beryl is predicted to weaken gradually but to still be at or near Category 3 strength as it passes near or just south of the Cayman Islands on Wednesday night.
