🌀 Hurricane Beryl made landfall on Carriacou, part of Grenada, with winds up to 150mph (240km/h).
⚠️ Hurricane warnings are in effect for several Caribbean islands including Barbados, Grenada, St Lucia, Tobago, and St Vincent and the Grenadines.
🌊 A life-threatening storm surge of up to 9ft (3 meters) is expected in landfall areas.
🌧️ Heavy rainfall of 3-6 inches (7.6-15cm) is forecast, with up to 10 inches possible in some areas.
📊 Beryl rapidly intensified from a tropical depression to a major hurricane in just 42 hours, a rare occurrence.
🌡️ The storm's strength is attributed to record warm waters, which experts link to climate change.
🛣️ Beryl is expected to weaken slightly as it moves towards Jamaica and later Mexico's Yucatán peninsula.
🚨 Thousands of people have taken shelter as the storm approaches.
