 And new tonight, Hurricane Beryl has strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 160 miles per hour. It's the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record. Meantime, communications are down across much of the southeast Caribbean after Beryl ripped through the area, leaving no immediate reports of deaths or injuries. But the storm ripped off doors, windows, and roofs. Powerful hurricanes usually don't form until September. This is abnormal.
