Hurricane Beryl pummeled Jamaica with winds and rain that caused floods and widespread power outages on Thursday (July 4).

Beryl has so far left at least 10 people dead but that number was widely expected to rise as communications are restored on islands devastated by flooding and powerful winds.

Tin roofs were blown away, homes completely destroyed, and hundreds on the southwest side of the island now homeless by Beryl.

Beryl’s eyewall skirted Jamaica’s southern coast, pummeling communities as a powerful Category 4 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, as emergency workers evacuated people from flood-prone areas.

Beryl moved away from Jamaica early on Thursday. At around 1200 GMT, the Category 3 hurricane was 50 miles (80 km) from Grand Cayman and about 385 miles (620 km) off Tulum, Mexico, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
