The Haitian Hurricane Beryl, which brushed through the Caribbean, killed two people and injured a woman in Kingston, Jamaica, on Thursday

Desrine Campbell of the low-lying community of Old Harbour Bay screamed, “My house is almost flooded!” as she stayed in one of the shelters in Jamaica.

The storm tore roofs off homes, sent trees into roadways and left some 60% of the island without electricity, the Associated Press reports. Over a thousand residents remained in shelters as of Thursday.

Authorities confirmed a young man died on Wednesday after he was swept into a storm water drain while trying to retrieve a ball. A woman died after a house fell on her.

Beryl’s worst damage appeared to be behind it. It brushed by Jamaica’s southern coast and blocked the roads in Kingston on Thursday.

The effort to evacuate some villages like Punta Allen, which is located on a narrow spit of land south of Tulum, and Mahahual, which is further south, was partially successful, according to Velzquez.

After leaving a trail of destruction across the eastern Caribbean and at least nine people dead, Hurricane Beryl strengthened into a Category 3 storm and headed for the Mexican peninsula.

The last day of the sun was going to be Thursday and Myriam Setra was having a sandwich at the beach. And then it’s just going to be hunker down and just stay indoors until hopefully it passes.”

Tourists were also taking precautions. In order to have water to flush the toilet, the therapist from Idaho said that she and her husband filled all of their empty water bottles with the tap water and put them in the freezer.

The gas and electricity have been cut. We also have an emergency floor where two maintenance employees will be locking down,” he said from the hotel. They are staying in a room that is farthest away from the beach and windows.

Francisco Bencomo, the general manager of the Hotel Umi, said all of their guests left. He said that guests won’t be allowed to return before July 10th and that they’ll be locked down.

In Playa del Carmen, most businesses were closed Thursday and some were boarding up windows as tourists jogged by and some locals walked their dogs under sunny skies. In Tulum, authorities shut things down and evacuated beachside hotels.

Mexico prepared shelters, evacuated some areas, and even moved sea turtle eggs off of the beaches that were threatened by a storm surge.

As the wind began gusting over Tulum’s white sand beaches on Thursday afternoon, four-wheelers with megaphones rolled along the sand telling people to leave. Tourists took pictures of the surf, but military personnel told them to leave as the storm was expected to make a landfall early Friday.

The storm’s center was about 135 miles (220 kilometers) east-southeast of Tulum, Mexico, and was moving west-northwest at 16 mph (about 26 kph), the hurricane center said.

A senior analyst at the U.S. Hurricane Center said that the biggest immediate threat now that the storm is moving away from the Cayman Islands is the landfall in the peninsula of the Dominican Republic.

“No hesitating. Material things can be recovered. The president stated that life was the most important thing.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a statement saying Beryl may make a direct hit on Tulum, which, while smaller than Cancun, still holds thousands of tourists and residents.

The most powerful Hurricane ever recorded in the early part of the Atlantic Hurricane season was caught up in the effects of climate change and made a name for itself.

Nearby, Carlton Golding said ruefully, “I lost everything this time.” Golding’s house was totally destroyed by the hurricane, the second time that he has suffered damage from storms.

In the south-central parish of Clarendon, residents attempted to mend damaged roofs and clear downed trees. The area had downed electricity and telecommunication poles.

On Thursday, the premier thanked residents and visitors for following the storm protocols in order to contribute to the collective calm.

About 95 percent of the homes in Union Island and Mayreau have been damaged by Hurricane Beryl, according to the St.Vincent and Grenadines director of the National Emergency Management Organization.

That brought Beryl’s total confirmed fatalities to at least nine: Three people were reported killed in Grenada and Carriacou, one in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and three in northern Venezuela, where at least four people remain missing after floods triggered by heavy rain.

Mexico’s hurricane makes landfall in Mexico, with its sights set on Texas next: Report on the destruction of buildings and agriculture on Union Island

The National Hurricane Center said on Thursday that a storm had formed in the Pacific Ocean off the Mexican coast. By the weekend, Aletta is expected to head away from Manzanillo, where it was located and had a maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.

The United Nations is making $4 million in emergency relief funds available to Grenada, Jamaica and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. A growing number of humanitarian aid groups are also mobilizing to help affected residents across the Caribbean.

“Union is a field of devastation,” Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves said in an Instagram video from a helicopter surveying the damage. “It’s only the odd building that is not severely damaged or destroyed.”

Union Island, a 3 mile long and 1 mile wide island in St.Vincent and the Grenadines, saw 98% of its buildings destroyed or damaged, including its hospital and airport control tower.

“There is literally no vegetation left anywhere on the island of Carriacou; the mangroves are totally destroyed, the boats and the marinas significantly damaged,” he said, according to USA Today. Carriacou has nearly complete destruction of the electrical grid system. The entire communication system is completely destroyed.”

Grenada Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell described the destruction of buildings and agriculture on Carriacou and Petite Martinique as “almost Armageddon-like” in a news conference on Tuesday.

It destroyed or damaged 200 fishing vessels and was a Category four storm when it struck the coast of the Grenadines before heading towards Jamaica and Mexico.

“As Texans and visitors around the south coastal areas celebrate our nation’s Independence Day, I urge them to make an emergency plan, review Hurricane evacuate routes, and continue to monitor weather conditions to ensure the safety of themselves and their loved ones,” Abbott said.

Some Texas coastal cities called for voluntary evacuations in low-lying areas prone to flooding, banned beach camping and urged tourists traveling on the July 4 holiday weekend to move recreational vehicles from coastal parks. In Corpus Christi, city officials announced it had distributed 10,000 sandbags in less than two hours Friday, exhausting its supply.

Even as the center of the storm remains hundreds of miles away, TexasPublicRadio.org reports that state and local officials are beginning to take precautions.

“It’s going to take days, even weeks, possibly, to be able to get parts of this country back on its feet,” he said. Kingston and Montego Bay are likely to get power first. In the rural communities, it’s going to take a while.

The Journalist Nick Davis told NPR’s All Things Considered on Thursday that authorities’ immediate concern is getting power to essential services, like water and telecommunications.

Guadalajara, the capital city of Mexico, is also a popular vacation destination. Some 3,000 tourists were evacuated from Isla Mujeres back to the mainland on Thursday, according to Reuters, which also reports that at least 100 flights out of Cancun’s international airport were canceled that day.

The NHC is forecasting dangerous hurricane-force winds, a storm surge of four to six feet and damaging waves as the storm moves inland across the northern Yucatan Peninsula during the day. The region could get between four and six inches of rain and as much as 10 inches in some areas.

Texas officials warned the state’s entire coastline to brace for possible flooding, heavy rain and wind as they wait for a more defined path of the storm. On Friday, the hurricane center issued hurricane and storm surge watches for the Texas coast from the mouth of the Rio Grande north to San Luis Pass, less than 80 miles (128.75 kilometers) south of Houston.

The lieutenant governor issued a disaster declaration for 40 counties while the governor went to Taiwan.

Mexican authorities moved some tourists out of low-lying areas before the storm even came, but tens of thousands of people still stayed in the storm’s path. Much of the area is below the sea level.

The city lost power when the storm hit. Screeching winds set off car alarms across the town. Wind and rain continued to whip the seaside city and surrounding areas Friday morning. Army brigades roved the streets of the tourist city, clearing fallen trees and power lines.

Although no dead or wounded have been reported, nearly half of Tulum continued to be without electricity, said Laura Velázquez, national coordinator of Mexican Civil Protection.

While many in the Yucatan Peninsula took a deep breath, Jamaica and other islands ravaged by the hurricane were still reeling. Andrew Holness promised swift relief for the residents of the southern parish of St Elizabeth after he visited it on Thursday.
