From Morning Report, 6:11 am on 2 July 2024

Hurricane Beryl has made landfall on the Grenadines' southern islands in the Caribbean Sea as a dangerous Category 4 storm. The storm has triggered power outages, flooded streets and ushered in storm surge flooding for parts of the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados and Tobago. It is the strongest known hurricane to ever pass through the region, and marks an exceptionally early start to the Atlantic hurricane season.
