Hurricane Beryl unleashed chaos as it slammed into Jamaica Wednesday, packing 130 mph winds and torrential rain. The storm, which earlier claimed at least seven lives in the southeast Caribbean, left neighborhoods flooded, roads impassable, and much of capital Kingston without power. 🚨
Residents hunkered down as the U.S. National Hurricane Center reported the storm’s eyewall scraping Jamaica’s southern coast – the most destructive part of the hurricane. 🌊 'This isn’t just another storm season,' said one local via Twitter. 'Entire roofs are flying like kites.'
Authorities warned people to stay sheltered until Thursday morning as cleanup efforts begin. With Beryl now heading toward Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, climate experts are raising alarms about intensifying hurricane patterns. 🔍🌍
