National Hurricane Center: Extremely Dangerous eyewall of Hurricane Beryl now moving over Carriacou Island

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) says that Category 4 Hurricane Beryl is now moving over Carriacou island with life-threatening winds and dangerous storm surge.

As of this morning, Beryl was located about 35 miles Northeast of Grenada and 15 miles East southeast of Carriacou island.

The eyewall of Beryl is moving across the southern Windward Islands.

This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation.

“Take action now to protect your life! Residents in Grenada, the Grenadine Islands, and Carriacou Island should not leave their shelter as winds will rapidly increase within the eyewall of Beryl. Remain in place through the passage of these life-threatening conditions and do not venture out in the eye of the storm,” the NHC warned.

NHC noted that there are reports of downed trees, flooded streets, power outages and storm surge flooding in the Grenandines, Grenada, Barbados, and Tobago.

Beryl is expected to move quickly westward to west-northwestward during the next few days.

On the forecast track, the center of Beryl is currently moving across the southern Windward Islands and will move across the southeastern and central Caribbean Sea late today through Wednesday.

Fluctuations in strength are likely during the next day or so, but Beryl is expected to remain an extremely dangerous major hurricane as its core moves through the Windward Islands into the eastern Caribbean.

Some weakening is expected in the central Caribbean by midweek, though Beryl is forecast to remain a hurricane.
