Hurricane Beryl was a deadly and destructive Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that impacted parts of the Caribbean, the Yucatán Peninsula, and the Gulf Coast of the United States in late June and early July 2024. It was the earliest-forming Category 5 hurricane on record and the second such storm in the month of July, the other being 2005's Hurricane Emily. Beryl was also the strongest hurricane to develop within the Main Development Region (MDR) of the Atlantic before the month of July. The second named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Beryl broke many meteorological records for the months of June and July, primarily for formation and intensity.

Beryl developed from a tropical wave that left the coast of Africa on June 25. After forming on June 28 in the Main Development Region, it began rapidly intensifying as it moved west through the central tropical Atlantic. On July 1, Beryl made landfall on the island of Carriacou in Grenada as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, causing total devastation. The hurricane intensified further as it entered the Caribbean Sea, peaking as a Category 5 hurricane early the next morning with maximum sustained winds of and a minimum central pressure of, before slowly weakening over the next few days due to wind shear as it passed south of Jamaica and then the Cayman Islands. It briefly re-intensified into a Category 3 hurricane before weakening again as it made landfall in Tulum, Quintana Roo, as a high-end Category 2 hurricane on July 5. After weakening into a tropical storm over the Yucatán Peninsula, the system moved into the Gulf of Mexico, where it gradually reorganized into a Category 1 hurricane on July 8, just before making its final landfall near Matagorda, Texas. Beryl slowly weakened over land as it accelerated to the northeast, eventually becoming post-tropical over the state of Arkansas on July 9 and dissipating over Ontario on July 11.

Damage and casualties from the hurricane were widespread. Beryl caused catastrophic damage on Grenada's northern islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique and on several of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines' southern islands, such as Union Island and Canouan. In Venezuela, six people were killed and one person went missing as a result of the storm. Sustained damage was also recorded in the Yucatán, although it was generally limited to trees, power poles, and roofs, as well as some flooding. In the United States, the state of Texas experienced severe flooding and wind damage, with reports of at least 36 dead in the Houston region.[1] Additionally, the outer bands of the hurricane produced a prolific tornado outbreak, with tornadoes confirmed in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Indiana, New York, and Ontario. As of July 25, a total of 64 fatalities have been confirmed, and preliminary damage estimates are more than US.

Meteorological history

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring a tropical wave emerging off the coast of West Africa on June 25, producing disorganized showers south of Cabo Verde.[2] By the evening of June 27, the satellite presentation of the disturbance was beginning to show some organization, with curved bands developing around a broad circulation. Environmental conditions at the time were described as being "unusually conducive" for tropical cyclogenesis across the central and western tropical Atlantic for late June, with near record-warm sea surface temperatures (SST) of about, light wind shear of, plus high mid-level relative humidity of around 70%.[3] [4] The disturbance developed further over the next day, with persistent thunderstorm activity occurring. The center of circulation became well-defined enough for the NHC to designate the system as Tropical Depression Two at 21:00 UTC on June 28, while located about 1,970 km (1,225 mi) east-southeast of Barbados.[5]

Located south of a strong subtropical ridge, the depression moved generally westward through an area of low wind shear, warm sea surface temperatures, and plenty of atmospheric moisture.[4] As a result, it began a period of rapid intensification. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Beryl six hours after formation, and the thunderstorms soon organized into a central dense overcast, with a symmetric cloud pattern surrounded by rainbands.[6] [7] Continuing its rapid intensification, Beryl became a hurricane on June 29 as the inner core of the thunderstorms developed into an eye.[8] Observations from the Hurricane Hunters indicated that Beryl became a major hurricane on June 30.[9] Beryl's initial bout of intensification culminated with the storm becoming a Category 4 hurricane, attaining an initial peak intensity with sustained winds of 130 mph (215 km/h).[10] Beryl then underwent an eyewall replacement cycle, weakening slightly going into July 1.[11] The hurricane recovered and quickly restrengthened, and at 15:10 UTC the same day, made landfall in Carriacou, Grenada as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, with sustained winds of .[12] [13] Further intensification took place as Beryl entered the Caribbean Sea, with deep convection cooling around the well-defined eye, and Beryl became a Category 5 hurricane early on July 2.[14] The hurricane peaked later that morning with sustained winds of and a central barometric pressure of .[15] Increasing wind shear due to a tropical upper tropospheric trough eventually caused Beryl to slowly weaken to a Category 4 storm as it passed south of the Dominican Republic.[16] [17]

Moving generally west-northwestward under the influence of the strong ridge to its north, Beryl's eye passed very near the southern coast of Jamaica on the afternoon of July 3. Despite the unfavorable conditions, Beryl remained relatively steady as a Category 4 hurricane.[18] Continued weakening eventually resumed, with Beryl falling below major hurricane intensity on July 4,[19] although it briefly regained Category 3 intensity that evening before weakening once more as the pressure again rose quickly.[20] [21] At around 11:05 UTC on July 5, the system made landfall just northeast of Tulum, Quintana Roo, with sustained winds of .[22] Inland, Beryl quickly weakened due to land interaction, degrading to a tropical storm.[23] The storm emerged into the Gulf of Mexico the following morning, steered west-northwestward at by the mid-level ridge located over the southeastern U.S.[24] That night and into the next day, in addition to a broader inner core, Beryl was beset by an infusion of dry air and by moderate wind shear which kept the storm from strengthening appreciably.[25] Even so, by the afternoon of July 6, its convective structure had improved some and had become more persistent.[26] Beryl turned to the north-northwest on July 7, and slowed to .[27] Beryl re-intensified to hurricane strength near 04:00 UTC on July 8, as its eye approached the Texas coast.[28] It then made its third and final landfall at 09:00 UTC near Matagorda, Texas with sustained winds of .[29] Eight hours later, the system was downgraded to a tropical storm, while centered about north-northwest of Houston, Texas.[30] Beryl continued to lose strength that afternoon as it moved quickly north-northeastward at .[31] And, late that same day, the storm weakened to a tropical depression in the vicinity of Tyler, Texas.[32] The depression moved quickly to the northeast overnight, and Beryl transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone on the morning of July 9, about 160miles west-southwest of Paducah, Kentucky.[33] By the following day, the storm's remnants were moving through the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, tracking northeastward into Ontario before dissipating on July 11.[34]

Lesser Antilles

Beryl moved through the Lesser Antilles as a powerful Category 4 hurricane, battering structures, uprooting trees, and causing near-total power and communication outages across much of the island chain.[102] Hardest hit were Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) reported an estimated 200,000 people altogether in the two nations were affected, representing 100% of the population. Also greatly impacted was Barbados, where the Red Cross reported that 208,200 people, about 74% of the population, were affected by the hurricane. It is estimated that insurable losses across region from the hurricane will exceed US$1 billion, according to disaster projections by CoreLogic.[103]

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

In Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, eight fatalities have been confirmed.[104] At least three of the dead were killed by flying debris, one man was crushed when part of his home collapsed, and another man bled out after being cut on the hand.[105] Also, the MV Guidance II, a ferry with five crew members on board, has been missing from near Canouan Harbor since July 1, when Beryl passed through.[106] The greatest damage was sustained on the islands of Canouan, Mayreau, and Union, where over 90% of homes were damaged or destroyed.[107] [108] Also, the Palm Island Resort, on nearby Palm Island suffered extensive damage.[109] Bequia,[110] and Petit Saint Vincent had considerable damage as well.[111]

Grenada

In Grenada, the island of Carriacou was stripped of all vegetation and its marinas were significantly damaged. There, and on neighboring Petite Martinique, Beryl did significant damage to houses and buildings, and severely disrupted the electrical grid.[108] [112] On the island of Grenada, about 95% of residents were also without power, and telecommunications were down.[113] Additionally, household water storage tanks and cisterns across the islands were either destroyed or compromised by the hurricane; the public water infrastructure also suffered significant damage.[114] There were six fatalities altogether,[115] among them: one person died in St. George's when a tree fell upon their house, while two persons were killed on Carriacou.[105] [116]

In Grenada, the first preliminary damage estimate has been set at $430 million.

Elsewhere

Businesses, homes and roads in Barbados were flooded as Beryl passed nearby;[117] also, roofs, trees and electrical posts were damaged.[47] The most consequential impact occurred along the coast, which was pummeled severely by storm surge. Approximately 90% of the nation's fishing fleet was damaged or destroyed.[118] The Bridgetown Cruise Terminal also suffered damage.[114]

In Tobago and Trinidad, power outages occurred across Tobago, and water service was disrupted.[108] On Trinidad, power outages occurred mainly on the northern and eastern parts of the island. Flooding also occurred on the northern half of Trinidad.[119] In Martinique, Électricité de France stated that 10,000 customers lost power.[120] Flooding in downtown Fort-de-France reached knee-depth. In Saint Lucia, trees and powerlines were downed. Many homes made of weaker materials were damaged and multiple cows were killed.[121] In St. Lucia, the initial assessment of infrastructure and agriculture damage is $2 million.

Beryl's outer bands unleashed strong winds and torrential rains upon northeastern Venezuela, disrupting both air and maritime services.[122] In the state of Sucre, six people were killed, while more than 6,000 houses were damaged.[123] The city of Cumanacoa was flooded by rain dumped by Beryl, which caused the area's Manzanares River to overflow.[124] Hundreds of families fled their homes on account of the flooding and landslides.[122] Several officials, including Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, were injured by a falling tree during a tour of the damage in Cumanacoa.[125] [126]

Greater Antilles

Hurricane Beryl produced gusty winds and rough surf in the Dominican Republic. The hurricane displaced 89 people and cut service to 57 aqueducts. Large waves scattered debris on a section of the Las Américas Highway in Santo Domingo. Storm surge flooding was reported in the neighborhood of Ciudad Nueva, detouring traffic. A landslide destroyed a home in La Zurza. Multiple beachfront shops in Boca Chica were damaged by rough waves. Four dwellings were destroyed by storm surge in La Ciénaga, Barahona, where an additional three houses were damaged.[58] The hurricane caused minimal damage in neighboring Haiti.

One woman died when she was struck by a falling tree, another man was killed when he was swept away by floodwaters, and a second man died a day after Beryl passed the island when a wall collapsed on him. Also, the body of an elderly woman was recovered from a pond on July 6. The Jamaican Public Service Company stated that over 400,000 people were without power.[129] [130] The storm’s center passed about from Kingston, where peak sustained winds of were recorded, with gusts up to ; rainfall of was recorded on the northeast side the city.[131] A small portion of roof over a passenger boarding pier was damaged at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.[132]

Flash floods and mudslides were reported across the Cayman Islands as Beryl passed. There were no reports of serious damage.[131] The center of the storm passed just south of Grand Cayman Island. Nearly 6,000 on the island were affected by power outages.[133] Peak sustained winds were measured at at Owen Roberts International Airport, with gusts up to .[131]

Mexico

Beryl brought heavy rains and high winds to Cancún and the Riviera Maya resort district along the Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo, resulting in downed trees and power lines, and damage to many roofs; there was also widespread flooding.[73] Many areas lost electricity, including Tulum, Cozumel, and Islas Mujeres municipalities.[134] Tourist infrastructure was without major damage.[72] Beryl's high winds also resulted in fallen trees and power outages in Campeche, including Hopelchén Municipality.[135]

Karen Clark & Company places storm damage losses in Mexico at $90 million.

United States

See also: Hurricane Beryl tornado outbreak. Wind damage in the United States ranged from $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion, based on an estimate by CoreLogic.[136] A prolific tornado outbreak spawned by Hurricane Beryl happened in eastern Texas, western Louisiana, and Arkansas on July 8.[137] [138] Overall, 113 tornado warnings were issued by the National Weather Service on July 8, the most for a single day in July, surpassing the 67 issued on July 6, 2005, which were related to Hurricane Cindy.[139] The outbreak continued into July 9 with more tornadoes being confirmed,[140] [141] before impacting the interior Northeastern United States and Ontario on July 10.[142] In all, 67 tornadoes were confirmed.[143] [144]

A federal disaster declaration was approved by President Joe Biden on July 2, for parts of Texas hit by the storm. And, Louisiana governor Jeff Landry declared a state of emergency in areas there impacted.[145]

Due to the impact of the storm in Texas, Amtrak canceled the July 10 runs of the Sunset Limited in its entirety in both directions[146] and had the train run only from San Antonio, Texas, to Los Angeles, California and vice versa[147] until the July 17 westbound run.

Texas

See main article: Effects of Hurricane Beryl in Texas. Beryl made landfall near Matagorda with the east side of the eyewall impacting Brazoria County. It produced wind gusts over 60– with a peak gust of 97mph in Brazoria. Significant impacts from Beryl took place in Surfside Beach, where siding was completely ripped off from the second story of a house.[148] Multiple A frame homes along the beach were mostly destroyed as a result of Beryl's winds.[149] Numerous other structures suffered extensive damage within the town.[150] In Lake Jackson, Beryl's winds peeled back roofs, knocked down chimneys, and destroyed exterior brick facades.[151]

As Beryl tracked into Texas, Houston was directly impacted by Beryl's eyewall. More than 2.7 million lost power.[152] Over 8inches of rain fell in and around Houston, with a peak rainfall amount for the state being west-southwest of the city at 13.55inches.[153]

Leaders from Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada signed a letter requesting for debt cancellation and a program to be formed to increase funding after natural disasters.[215]

In Barbados, fibreglass fabricator Fiberpol and the Rotary Clubs of Barbados donated a combined $40,000 to help repair the fishing fleet; most of the boats were not insured.[118]

In the wake of Beryl, multiple restaurants in the Houston area sued CenterPoint Energy, amounting to over $100 million, they alleged that CenterPoint's "gross failure in communication and management" caused them to lose customers due to the power being out.[216] [217]

Records

See also: List of Atlantic hurricane records. Beryl is the easternmost hurricane to form in the tropical Atlantic in June — 49.3°W, beating the mark set by the 1933 Trinidad hurricane — 58.9°W.[218] [219] Additionally, it became the earliest Category 4 hurricane on record in the basin, surpassing the previous record set on July 8, 2005, by Hurricane Dennis,[218] [220] and the strongest June hurricane as measured by wind speed, surpassing Hurricane Audrey of 1957.[221] [222] It later became the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record, surpassing the record set on July 16, 2005, by Hurricane Emily, as well as becoming the strongest July hurricane on record by wind speed,[220] [223] [224] and the highest accumulated cyclone energy generating storm before August.[225]

Beryl also became the first tropical system on record to undergo rapid intensification in the Main Development Region of the Atlantic during the month of June.[218] [220] Further, it intensified from tropical storm to Category 5 hurricane in only 42 hours. Only six other Atlantic storms are known to have achieved this rate of intensification, with Beryl the only one to do so earlier than September.[218] [226] According to an analysis by ClimaMeter, a project of the Climate and Environment Sciences Laboratory, Beryl's extreme winds and heavy precipitation were strengthened by climate change. Natural climate variability, notably the Pacific decadal oscillation and the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation, likely played a role as well.[227]
