Hurricane Beryl lashes islands as life-threatening Category 4 in dangerous early start to the season

as it roars through the Windward Islands - the strongest storm there in two decades - endangering several island communities with life-threatening storm surge, violent winds and flash flooding.

Beryl is breaking records for June because the ocean is as warm now as it would normally be at the peak of hurricane season, said Jim Kossin, a hurricane expert and science advisor at nonprofit First Street Foundation. The storm briefly weakened to Category 3 status early Monday while undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle, a process in which the strongest hurricanes can shed an eyewall - the ring of most intense winds that surrounds the hurricane's calm eye - as it builds a larger one. The hurricane weakens during this process but ultimately emerges as a more powerful storm.

Grantley Adams International Airport on Barbados reported sustained winds of 40 to 45 mph with a gust of nearly 70 mph Monday morning.Beryl is a dangerous hurricane: The storm is about 60 miles east of Grenada, has sustained winds of 130 mph and is moving to the west-northwest at 20 mph. Beryl's hurricane-force winds extend 35 miles from center while tropical-storm-force winds extend about 125 miles.
