I think that article is a bit out of date. It’s a bit rainy and windy in Jamaica but nowhere near hurricane force. It hit at 1am and was briefly very rainy but has calmed a lot since it devastated SVG and Grenada.

15-minute-old radar images show only the leading rain bands over Jamaica, storm proper still at sea and headed toward the island.

Correct, at the time of writing Beryl is off the SE of Jamaica projected to hit (on the south side of the island) around 11 Eastern [0]. It will still be a Cat4 then.

That makes sense. I’m on the North of the island and it’s not even raining any more (for the time being).
