Roofs were torn off and homes were levelled in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Hurricane Beryl has ripped off roofs in Jamaica, battered fishing boats in Barbados and damaged or destroyed 95% of homes on two islands in St Vincent and the Grenadines before rumbling toward the Cayman Islands and Mexico’s Caribbean coast.What had been the earliest storm to develop into a Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic weakened to a Category 3 by early Thursday but remained a major hurricane.
“I am just grateful for life although Beryl destroyed a lot of roofs and we don’t have any water or light ,” he said, giving his name only as Seymour. In Playa del Carmen, most businesses were closed on Thursday and some were boarding up windows as tourists were jogging and some locals walked their dogs under sunny skies.
“We have done everything possible that we could have done to face the various challenges ahead of us,” she said. Ms Velazquez said temporary storm shelters were being set up at schools and hotels in case they are needed. The worst perhaps came earlier in Beryl’s trajectory when it smacked two small islands of the Lesser Antilles.
