Hurricane Beryl set to smash into Jamaica
HURRICANE Beryl was set to rip into Jamaica today, with islanders scrambling to make preparations from the powerful category four storm.
Beryl has already caused the deaths of six people in the south-east Caribbean and caused significant damage.
“I am encouraging all Jamaicans to take the hurricane as a serious threat,” Prime Minister Andrew Holness said in a public address on Tuesday. “It is, however, not a time to panic.”
