Hurricane Beryl Heads Towards Mexico and The US

WORST Hurricane EVER - Union Island - Almost Whole Island Homeless in Hurricane Beryls' Wake


Beryl is the 2024 Atlantic season's first hurricane and, at its peak earlier this week was the earliest category five storm on record.


BBC 5 JUL 2024






























Hurricane Beryl strengthened back into a Category 3 storm late on Thursday as it headed towards Mexico’s resort-studded Yucatan Peninsula. Forecasters say it could regain strength over the weekend as it heads towards Texas.


It left a trail of destruction across the eastern Caribbean and at least nine people dead.





The US National Hurricane Centre said Beryl, which was the earliest Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic, had winds of 115mph after weakening earlier in the day into a Category 2 storm.

Jack Beven, senior hurricane specialist at the US Hurricane Centre, said “the biggest immediate threat now that the storm is moving away from the Cayman Islands is landfall in the Yucatan Peninsula”.

Beryl was expected to bring heavy rain and winds to Mexico’s Caribbean coast, before crossing the Yucatan peninsula and restrengthening in the Gulf of Mexico to make a second strike on northeast Mexico.

As the wind began gusting over Tulum’s white sand beaches on Thursday afternoon, four-wheelers with megaphones rolled along the sand telling people to leave.

Tourists snapped photos of the growing surf, but military personnel urged them to leave as Beryl headed to an expected landfall around Tulum early on Friday.

Beryl damaged or destroyed 95% of homes on a pair of islands in St Vincent and the Grenadines, jumbled fishing boats in Barbados and ripped off roofs in Jamaica before rumbling past the Cayman Islands early on Thursday.

Mexico’s popular Caribbean coast prepared shelters, evacuated some small outlying coastal communities and even moved sea turtle eggs off beaches threatened by storm surge.









In Playa del Carmen, most businesses were closed on Thursday and some were boarding up windows.
