The death toll from Hurricane Beryl is rising, as the most powerful storm to ever hit the Atlantic in July lashes the Caribbean., people are on high alert, including some people from the Tri-State area on vacation, who were hoping to make it off the island before the storm arrives.
Beryl, the first hurricane of the season, has already left a deadly trail of devastation in several Caribbean islands including Grenada, Barbados and St. Lucia. Now it's roaring towards Jamaica. In Kingston on Tuesday, Jamaican citizens took heed to the serious warning, locking down as much as they can before the storm makes landfall.
As for the resort guests in Montego Bay, the Simon family, who was hoping to get out early, may already be out of luck.
