The strongest hurricane of the year named Beryl is being monitored by the satellites. This hurricane is dumping high-speed winds and causing destructive rains on Carrabian Island located in Grenada.

This event occurred on Monday, July 1 morning. Captured by the satellite named NOAA's GOES-East giving real-time views. The satellite is closely monitoring the hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean taking the footage from 22,236 miles (35,785 kilometers) above Earth's equator.

This hurricane video is released on X social media platform by the official account  of @NOAASatellites.

There are groups of islands that are facing this storm some of them are Windward Islands located in the Atlantic's Caribbean Sea, and some small islands called the Grenadines.

The US Air Force Reserve is on the ground sharing the reports of the destruction made by the hurricane, this useful data is getting shared with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) weather forecasting.

According to Brian McNoldy who is a tropical meteorology researcher at the University of Miami explained that due to the warming of the ocean this year hurricanes in Beryl are getting fueled.

There were two storms earlier on June 30 and June 29 that got fueled during these storms and made landfall on Monday at Carrabian Island and set a record for the strongest hurricane to attain Category 4.

A warning by the forecaster has been released about the hurricane predicting that this would bring  9 feet of rain (3 meters) and destructive winds up to 150 miles per hour (240 kilometers per hour).

According to the Associated Press reports the hurricane blew off the roofs, damaged the power lines and uprooted trees in Carriacou.
