 National Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan. We are expecting a storm surge of 5 to 8 feet above normal tide levels on the coast of Jamaica, especially concerned in the areas around Kingston, those harbors and on the south side of the island. Going to be a very, very significant wave action on top of that as well. Also expecting the possibility of life-threatening flooding due to heavy rainfall and the potential for devastating impacts if the eye wall of Beryl moves over the island.
