An “extremely dangerous” storm is approaching the southeast Caribbean amid urgent pleas from government officials for people to take shelter.<\/p>\n

Hurricane Beryl is expected to hit the Windward Islands on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Hurricane warnings were in effect for Barbados<\/a><\/strong>, St. Lucia, Grenada, Tobago and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.<\/p>\n

“This is a very dangerous situation,” warned the National Hurricane Center in Miami, which said Beryl was “forecast to bring life-threatening winds and storm surge”.<\/p>\n

Beryl is expected to pass just south of Barbados early Monday and then head into the Caribbean<\/a><\/strong> Sea as a major hurricane on a path toward Jamaica<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is expected to weaken by midweek, but still remain a hurricane as it heads toward Mexico.<\/p>\n

Hurricane Ivan in 2004 was the last strongest hurricane to hit the southeast Caribbean, causing catastrophic damage in Grenada as a Category 3 storm.<\/p>\n

Reecia Marshall, who lives in Grenada, was working a Sunday shift at a local hotel, preparing guests and urging them to stay away from windows as she stored enough food and water for everyone.<\/p>\n
