Beryl slams into Caribbean with 150mph gusts and rain

Winds measuring up to 150mph, just shy of a category 5 storm, blew off roofs, uprooted trees and caused other damage on Carriacou, one of the islands of Grenada, and elsewhere in the southeastern Caribbean. “This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation,” the US National Hurricane Center said.

Hurricane warnings were in effect for Barbados, Grenada, Tobago and St Vincent and the Grenadines as thousands of people hunkered down in homes and shelters. The last strong hurricane to hit the southeast Caribbean was Hurricane Ivan 20 years ago, which killed dozens of people in Grenada.

NBC Radio in St Vincent and the Grenadines said it had received reports of roofs being torn off churches and schools as communications began collapsing across the southeastern Caribbean.

United stuck in 'purgatory' and facing only one way out

When one prominent football figure caught a glimpse of the Manchester United dressing room recently, they immediately recognised a scene they had seen from rival clubs. That was a squad that \"doesn't know what next\" and feels like it's \"going nowhere\". It isn't intentional, of course, but is a feeling that starts to grip a group when there's no sense of clarity.
