Hurricane Beryl made landfall Monday on Grenada's Carriacou Island as a Category 4 storm, recording sustained wind speeds of up to 150 miles per hour.
Spaghetti models predict that the storm is likely to proceed through the Caribbean towards Mexico, though a northeastern turn towards Houston or New Orleans is still a possibility depicted nit he models.
Beryl is expected to remain an "extremely dangerous" hurricane according to National Hurricane Center forecaster Eric Blake.
"Beryl continues to produce catastrophic winds and life-threatening storm surge to the Grenadine Islands, Carriacou Island and Grenada," the National Hurricane Center said in an update issued Monday at 1 p.m. ET. "Residents should not leave their shelter and remain in place through the passage of these life-threatening conditions."
Here are the latest images from the path of Hurricane Beryl.
