 Much of the Caribbean is watching the movements of Hurricane Beryl, the first hurricane of the season. It's expected to plow into the region today, bringing life-threatening storm surge, violent winds, and flash flooding. The hurricane's core is most at risk of striking Grenada, St. Vincent, or the Grenadines beginning early this morning. Beryl is expected to remain a major hurricane as it barrels through the Windward Islands and continues moving through the Caribbean. Early this week, Dr. Michael Brennan is director of the National Hurricane Center.
