Rough seas rocked a boat violently off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago on Monday, July 1, as Hurricane Beryl moved through the Caribbean.According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), Hurricane Beryl brought tropical-storm-force winds, dangerous waves, and heavy rainfall as it pulled away from the southern Windward Islands, just north of Trinidad and Tobago.James Ivings captured this footage of his boat pitching in choppy water in the bay of Chaguaramas. “Absolutely not complaining too much, because we’re safe and our boat is okay, and that’s the best outcome,” he wrote on X.Hurricane Beryl became a Category 5 storm on Monday, the earliest in the season such an extreme storm has appeared in recorded history, according to the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere.The storm is expected to bring life-threatening winds and storm surge to Jamaica on Wednesday, the NHC said.
