Hurricane Beryl roars by Jamaica

Hurricane Beryl is roaring by Jamaica as islanders scramble to make preparations after the powerful Category 4 storm earlier killed at least six people and caused significant damage in the southeast Caribbean. People in Kingston boarded up windows and fishermen pulled their boats out of the water. Workers dismantled roadside advertising boards to protect them from the lashing winds. A hurricane warning is in effect for Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Beryl is forecast to weaken slightly over the next day or two but still be at or near major-hurricane strength when it passes near or over Jamaica on Wednesday.
