 Hurricane Beryl is defying all records. No storm has intensified so early in the season and with such strength and intensity as this one. It morphed from a tropical storm into a category four hurricane in record time. The islands of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada are expected to experience the worst of the hurricane with the storm surge of up to nine feet and up to six inches of rainfall. Researchers have warned that the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season could be one of the worst on record because of rising ocean temperatures.
