Hurricane Beryl roared past Jamaica on Wednesday, unleashing fierce winds and torrential rains. The powerful Category 4 storm had already caused significant destruction in the southeast Caribbean, resulting in at least seven fatalities.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center reported that Beryl's eyewall was \"brushing the south coast of Jamaica.\" Residents faced hours of relentless wind-whipped rain, prompting many to follow authorities' advice to seek shelter until the storm subsided.
Power outages affected large parts of the capital, disrupting daily life and emergency response efforts. As Jamaica begins the recovery process, communities are coming together to rebuild and support those impacted by the devastating hurricane.
