Hurricane Beryl's path of destruction is far from over, as the deadly storm charts a course towards northeastern Mexico and southern Texas after devastating the Yucatán Peninsula early Friday morning.
Jamaica and multiple locations across the Caribbean, including Barbados and the Cayman Islands, suffered widespread damage after Hurricane Beryl made landfall earlier this week, with 11 deaths reported in addition to power outages, destruction of homes and buildings, coastal inundation and emergency evacuations.
Beryl, which was downgraded to a tropical storm, is rapidly approaching the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico after making landfall in the Yucatán Peninsula. Wind speed has steadily decreased since its crossed through the Yucatán Peninsula, dropping from 110 miles per hour to 65 miles per hour, USA TODAY reported.
An increase in rainfall, strong rip currents and coastal flooding are expected as Beryl makes its "final landfall," impacting parts of Gulf Coast from eastern Mexico to Texas as early as Friday evening, according to The Weather Channel.
Texas residents, including those in Houston, Austin and San Antonio, have been warned to make emergency plans and keep an eye on the forecast ahead of the storm's landfall, with Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday directing the state's Division of Emergency Management to increase its readiness level.
"Today and Saturday will be our calm before the storm," the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi wrote in a Friday advisory.
Here's a look at the destruction Beryl has left behind after making landfall.
