Hurricane Beryl Shatters Records with Unprecedented Early Intensification
The Category 4 hurricane's rapid development signals a potentially severe storm season fueled by exceptionally warm waters.
- Beryl became the earliest Category 4 hurricane on record, intensifying from a tropical depression in just 42 hours.
- The storm made landfall on Carriacou, Grenada, causing significant damage with winds up to 150 mph.
- Experts link Beryl's rapid growth to record warm ocean temperatures, typically seen at the peak of hurricane season.
- Forecasters warn that the conditions leading to Beryl's formation may result in more intense hurricanes this season.
- Caribbean coral reefs, natural defenses against hurricanes, are deteriorating due to climate change, exacerbating storm impacts.
