Within 42 hours a tropical storm developed into the category 4 hurricane known as 'Beryl' and smashed into Carricaou. This video shares the consequences.

Extremely high sea temperatures have, as predicted, spawned a dangerous, early-season, hurricane in the Caribbean breaking both records and livelihoods. This video shares the devastation that Beryl left in her wake.

Undiminished, Beryl is now tracking west and forecast to intensify to Category 5 and break more records and lives.
