Hurricane Beryl, July 2024

15 Jul 2024

Hurricane Beryl is the earliest Category 5 hurricane recorded to form in the Atlantic. In the first week of July 2024, the storm tore a destructive path across eastern Caribbean islands, including Grenada, Jamaica, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where some islands sustained extensive damage. Beryl later passed over Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula as a Cat 2, then passed through the Gulf of Mexico to the Texas coastline as a Cat 1. In Texas, the storm cut power to millions of people, closed oil ports, caused localized flooding, and killed 13 people. Beryl was downgraded to a tropical depression as it moved across the U.S., bringing heavy rain and tornados to the Midwest and Northeast.
