Hurricane Beryl hits category 5
Hurricane Beryl, already a record-breaker, strengthened to category 5 overnight. The storm's 160mph winds are swirling their way through the Caribbean on their way toward the continent; it's expected to weaken from here.
Beryl becomes the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record, beating Hurricane Emily from July 16, 2005.
