Hurricane Beryl, a Category 3 storm, poses a significant threat to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and southern Texas, following a destructive path through the eastern Caribbean with at least nine fatalities and substantial damage. Mexican authorities are preparing shelters, evacuating coastal areas, and moving sea turtle eggs to safety. The storm, the earliest Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic, has caused widespread power outages, water shortages, and communication disruptions in affected areas. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador urged residents and tourists in Tulum to seek higher ground or shelters, emphasizing the importance of life over material possessions. As Beryl approaches Tulum, authorities are urging evacuations and preparations for potentially severe impacts on the region's tourism hub, which has seen rapid development and a surge in population.
