Puerto Rico braces for Hurricane Beryl as island recovers from Hurricane Maria


Recommended Posts

PUERTO Rico could be hit with winds of up to 64km/h and heavy flooding as Hurricane Beryl approaches a region still trying to recover from last year’s storms.

Forecasters said on Friday the Category 1 storm is expected to dissipate before reaching the eastern Caribbean, but could still dump heavy rain across islands including Dominica and Puerto Rico starting this weekend.

“People have to remain alert,” Gabriel Lojero, a forecaster for the National Weather Service in San Juan, told The Associated Press.

“The forecast could change for the better or worse.”

Beryl is currently expected to pass near Dominica and the French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique early on Monday as a tropical wave and then continue south of Puerto Rico.

Dominica was hit by Hurricane Maria last year as a Category 5 storm and hasn’t fully recovered. Neither has Puerto Rico, where hundreds are still living under makeshift roofs and more than 1,000 customers remain without power more than nine months after the storm.

Many worry Beryl will cause power outages across Puerto Rico given the fragility of the US territory’s electrical grid after Maria destroyed up to 75 per cent of its distribution lines.

Mr Lojero also warned that the storm is expected to dump up to 10 centimetres of rain and could unleash landslides.

“Maria caused a lot of changes in vegetation,” Mr Lojero said. “The island is vulnerable.” Officials said they will open 424 shelters across Puerto Rico as a preventive measure and urged people to monitor the storm’s progress.

Beryl is the first hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season. It was located 1,830 kilometres east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles on Friday morning.

It had maximum sustained winds of 120km/h and was moving west at 22km/h.
