BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — Hurricane Beryl plowed toward the Caribbean's southeast early on Monday as officials warned residents to seek shelter ahead of powerful winds and swells expected from the Category 3 storm.

The United States' National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned that Beryl — currently churning in the Atlantic Ocean about 110 miles (175 kilometers) southeast of Barbados — remained 'a dangerous major hurricane as its core moves through the Windward Islands into the eastern Caribbean.'
