News summary

Hurricane Beryl, a devastating Category 4 storm, wreaked havoc on the Caribbean islands of Carriacou, Petite Martinique, and Union Island, causing widespread destruction of infrastructure, homes, and agriculture. Grenada's Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell described the impact as 'almost Armageddon-like,' emphasizing the near-complete devastation of buildings, vegetation, and critical ecosystems like mangroves. With over 90% of buildings damaged or destroyed, the recovery process for Carriacou and Petite Martinique is expected to be prolonged. International assistance and cleanup efforts are underway to restore normalcy, but the scale of destruction poses significant challenges for the affected communities and the region. The rapid intensification of Beryl to a Category 4 hurricane in just 10 hours sets a concerning precedent for an active hurricane season, underscoring the urgent need for preparedness and resilience in the face of climate change-driven extreme weather events.
