Hurricane Beryl has ripped across the Caribbean with winds of 150mph tearing roofs from buildings, uprooting trees and devastating the islands in its path. Hundreds of thousands of homes in Jamaica are without power after the storm hit overnight, and residents in coastal and island countries already struck by the storm are looking at rebuilding their lives from the debris.Seven people are known to have been killed across Grenada and St Vincent and thousands left homeless after the category five storm made landfall on Tuesday.Beryl has now weakened to a category three storm, and is rolling towards the Cayman Islands and southern Mexico, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports.It is expected to reach Cancún by Friday morning before crossing the Gulf of Mexico and reaching Texas early next week.
Streets were left flooded and cars wrecked in Cumanacoa, Venezuela, more than 20km from the coast. Satellite imagery taken on Wednesday shows Hurricane Beryl covering Jamaica and parts of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Its arms stretch north and east past Cuba and south to Venezuela and Colombia.
