Hurricane Beryl, which intensified to a Category 5 storm, has turned deadly as it wreaks havoc across the Caribbean. This is the strongest storm ever recorded this early in the season. TODAY’s Dylan Dreyer tracks the latest forecast.
Hurricane Beryl remains on track to bring heavy rainfall, 'life-threatening' winds and flooding to parts of the Caribbean this week, with forecasters warning that it could remain at least a tropical storm as it moves towards Mexico.
“I am encouraging all Jamaicans to take the hurricane as a serious threat,” Jamaica Prime Minister Andrew Holness warned. Jamaica upgraded its advisory to a hurricane warning, up from a watch, and Holness urged people to seek higher, safer ground. He also warned that emergency services would not be able to operate during the peak of hurricane conditions. A large swathe of the Caribbean is now preparing for significant impact and damage this week.
