Jamaica, a beautiful island in the Caribbean, has faced its fair share of tropical cyclones over the years. While Hurricane Beryl did not make landfall in Jamaica, the island experienced the wrath of the storm with destructive winds and storm surge.
Direct hits from tropical storms or hurricanes are rare for Jamaica. In the last 40 years, only two hurricanes have made landfall in the country: Sandy in 2012 and Gilbert in 1988.
