Hurricane Beryl churned menacingly over Jamaica on July 3, after uprooting trees, ripping off roofs and destroying farms as it forged a destructive, water-soaked path across smaller Caribbean islands over the past couple days.
In the island's capital Kingston, Hurricane Beryl caused widespread damage. Flooded roads challenged pedestrians as police cleared debris. A fallen airport sign underscored impacts on tourism. Residents navigated flooded streets amid fallen trees and power lines, with water flowing down roadsides, highlighting the storm's lasting impact.
The death toll from the powerful Category 4 hurricane rose to at least nine, but it is widely expected to rise as communications come back online across drenched islands damaged by flooding and deadly winds.
