Hurricane Beryl came ashore on the Yucatan Peninsula early Friday morning with top sustained winds of 110 mph. The National Hurricane Center said the storm made landfall just northeast of Tulum, Mexico.
Once the most powerful hurricane ever in the Atlantic basin during the month of July, the hurricane made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane storm, according to the National Hurricane Center. A hurricane warning was in effect for the region during its landfall. Now that Beryl has come ashore, it will likely quickly weaken into a tropical storm by Saturday morning. As Beryl moves to the northwest, it will reemerge in the Gulf of Mexico, where it could regather strength. The National Hurricane Center's forecast has Beryl turning back into a hurricane on Sunday and potentially striking Texas on Monday.
The storm has left at least nine people dead. At least 1,400 people were still in shelters in Jamaica on Thursday, after Beryl's eyewall grazed the island's southern coast on Wednesday.
