BREAKING: Hurricane Beryl upgraded to Category 5 with 160+ MPH winds

Hurricane Beryl has strengthened to Category 5 status as it crosses islands in the southeastern Caribbean. Maximum sustained winds were clocked at 160 miles per hour late Monday as Beryl became the earliest category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic. The system made landfall over the weekend on the island of Carriacou in Grenada, where officials said one person died. The National Hurricane Center says life-threatening winds and storm surge are expected in Jamaica later this week.
