After battering Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Beryl moved back into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico where it was expected to regain hurricane strength Saturday.

After leaving a trail of destruction across the eastern Caribbean and at least nine people dead, Hurricane Beryl strengthened back into a Category 3 storm late Thursday.

Hurricane Beryl is nearing Jamaica as a Category 4 storm, and forecast to make landfall on Wednesday. Officials there have declared a "major disaster area" and implemented an island-wide curfew.
