SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Hurricane Beryl bore down on the southeast Caribbean early Monday as a powerful Category 3 storm after previously becoming the earliest storm of Category 4 strength to form in the Atlantic, fueled by record warm waters.
Beryl was located 125 miles east-southeast of Grenada early Monday. It had maximum sustained winds of 120 miles per hour and was moving west at 20 mph . It was a compact storm, with hurricane-force winds extending 35 miles from its center. Officials in some southeast Caribbean islands announced controlled shutdowns of electricity and warned of water outages ahead of the storm, urging people to seek shelter. They warned of landslides and flash flooding as they shuttered schools, airports and government offices.
“This is a dangerous hurricane for the Windward Islands," said hurricane specialist and storm surge expert Michael Lowry, who warned that when Beryl comes ashore, “it’s going to be a very serious situation.” He said he and his family have been praying, as well as taking calls from concerned friends and family as far away as India.
