Hurricane Beryl: Jamaica PM urges people to prepare for deadly storm | BBC News

Jamaicans are bracing for a deadly hurricane as it heads towards the island on Wednesday.

Hurricane Beryl is expected to bring "life-threatening winds and storm surge" to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) warns.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness urged people to "take this hurricane seriously".

Jamaican authorities have imposed a curfew from 06:00 to 18:00 local time (12:00-00:00 BST).

At least seven people were killed as the storm swept through the Caribbean.
