Hundreds of thousands of homes in Jamaica are without power after Hurricane Beryl thundered along the island’s southern coast on Wednesday night.
The category four storm—one of the most powerful to ever hit the country—brought more than 12 hours of heavy rain, raising concerns about flash flooding.
An island-wide curfew has been extended until 06:00 local time (11:00 GMT) on Thursday. While the hurricane warning has been canceled, a flash flood watch is now in effect.
Once the sun rises and the curfew is lifted, residents will be able to assess the damage.
Beryl has now weakened to a category three storm and is moving towards the Cayman Islands and southern Mexico, according to the US National Hurricane Center (NHC).
