Hurricane Beryl made landfall on Mexico’s coast near the resort of Tulum as a Category 2 storm early Friday after leaving a trail of destruction across the eastern Caribbean.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said that Beryl is expected to rapidly weaken to a tropical storm as it crosses over the Yucatan Peninsula before it re-emerges into the Gulf of Mexico and likely regains hurricane strength.
Beryl was the earliest Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic before weakening to a Category 2 storm. But it regained strength late Thursday with windspeeds of 115 mph as it neared landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. As Friday began, the storm’s center was about 90 miles southeast of Tulum and was moving west at 16 mph , the hurricane center said.On Friday, Beryl was expected to weaken as it crossed over the Yucatan peninsula and re-emerge in the Gulf of Mexico, where the surprisingly resilient storm could once again become a hurricane and make a second landfall around Mexico's border with Texas next week.
“I hope we have the least impact possible on the hotel, that the hurricane moves quickly through Tulum, and that it’s nothing serious,” he said. Earlier, Beryl wreaked havoc in the Caribbean. The hurricane damaged or destroyed 95 per cent of homes on a pair of islands in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, jumbled fishing boats in Barbados and ripped off roofs and knocked out electricity in Jamaica.
