Hurricane Beryl officially a category 5 storm

Hurricane Beryl was the first category 4 hurricane on record to develop during the month of June. Tuesday morning, it became a category 5 hurricane.
Before it strengthened into a named storm, it was a tropical wave between the coast of Africa and the Caribbean. Part of Beryl's legacy is just how quickly it developed and organized into a tropical depression, then a tropical storm and quickly formed into a hurricane.

"Damage left behind". Picnic table upright. Potted plants undisturbed. Yeah, the winds blowing.

Wind speeds of 200 km per hour and the houses in Carriacou along the coast are still standing. That's impossible, isn't it?

140 when it hit Carriacou today??? 170mph 200mph gusts

Cinderblock, reinforced correctly, with shutters for windows, can withstand almost any tropical storm winds. Flooding is what destroys most structures in hurricane-prone areas.
