Hurricane Beryl, with winds exceeding 250 km/h placing it in category 5, the highest on the Saffir-Simpson scale, possesses a destructive force that has been captured in striking images of the cyclone's eye.
A reconnaissance plane penetrated the center of circulation of the powerful tropical organism, capturing its perfect structure, as seen in the images and video published by Hurricane Hunters on the social network X.
"A look at the eye of Hurricane Beryl today," the profile posted, explaining that Beryl became "the first Atlantic storm to reach category 5 on Monday night, although it was downgraded to category 4 on Tuesday."
This Monday, another reconnaissance plane, this time from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States, captured impressive images of the powerful Hurricane Beryl, which was then classified as a category 4.
In the video posted on the social network X, you can clearly see a part of the atmospheric phenomenon that made landfall on Monday morning in Carriacou, a small island in Grenada, where wind gusts of up to 150 miles per hour (240 km/h) were felt.
The satellite images also captured the power that this cyclone has on Sunday.
"Incredible satellite images of the turbulent category 4 Hurricane Beryl and its impressive, but dangerous, eye currently approaching the Windward Islands," wrote X Weather/ Meteo World's account alongside a video showing the size of the hurricane.
Despite forecasts predicting that the eye of Hurricane Beryl will pass well away from Cuban territory, the island will be left on the so-called "dirty side" of the powerful meteorological phenomenon, meaning the strongest in terms of winds and rainfall.
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast, from early Wednesday morning until Thursday, some areas of the country may experience winds of up to 63 km/h in gusts.
