Bridgetown, Barbados (AFP) – Beryl, the first hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic season, slammed into the Caribbean island of Carriacou, which is part of Grenada, on Monday as a powerful Category 4 storm, the National Hurricane Center said.

“The eye of #Beryl has made landfall on Carriacou Island,” the NHC wrote on X, warning residents in a separate bulletin of “life-threatening conditions” and that “winds will rapidly increase within the eyewall.”
