Hurricane Beryl getting stronger

Hurricane Beryl continues to strengthen to the southeast of the Caribbean. The Meteorological Department urged the locals to be careful before this terrible hurricane hits.

According to BBC, the hurricane has been upgraded by forecasters to a "very dangerous" category three storm - meaning it is predicted to have winds of 111-130mph (179-209km/h).

The major is expected to strengthen further as nears the Caribbean islands of Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, and Martinique, among others.

Across the region, people are boarding up their homes, queueing for fuel at filling stations and stockpiling supplies and water in preparation for the storm.

Forecasters say that Hurricane Beryl, which formed Friday night from a tropical storm, already has winds of 115mph and is expected to strengthen further before it reaches the westerly Caribbean islands._Agencies.
