6. SOUNDBITE (English) Vichelle Clark King, shop owner:
“The damage is… Right now, I am really heartbroken because this is a lot of work. This is more than a week’s work here. We have sand not only on the outside but also inside of the shop.”
7. Streets covered with debris
STORYLINE:
Hurricane Beryl strengthened to Category 5 status late Monday after it ripped doors, windows and roofs off homes across the southeastern Caribbean with devastating winds and storm surge fueled by the Atlantic’s record warmth.
Beryl made landfall on the island of Carriacou in Grenada as the earliest Category 4 storm in the Atlantic, then late in the day the National Hurricane Center in Miami said its winds had increased to 160 mph (260 kph).
Fluctuations in strength were likely in the coming days as the storm pushed further into the Caribbean.
Streets from St. Lucia island south to Grenada were strewn with shoes, trees, downed power lines and other debris.
Banana trees were snapped in half and cows lay dead in green pastures with homes made of tin and plywood tilting precariously nearby.
“Right now, I’m real heartbroken,” said Vichelle Clark King as she surveyed her damaged shop in the Barbadian capital of Bridgetown that was filled with sand and water.
