Shocking videos show devastation left behind by Hurricane Beryl in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines<br/><br/>The category four storm swept across the island of Carriacou, in Grenada.<br/><br/>Winds of up to 140mph (240kmh) ripped across the island, leaving homes destroyed and trees uprooted. <br/><br/>A hurricane warning is currently in place for Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac. <br/><br/>Pictures taken by Kevin Sexton, 60, show the destruction across the island of Carriacou. <br/><br/>Kevin, a church business director, said: “I've been through a lot of hurricanes living in Florida but this one is extremely significant – it’s the worst I've ever seen, it’s very sad. <br/><br/>“I was on Carriacou - the storm came quicker than we thought across the islands. <br/><br/>“The hurricane came in and took out the north of Granada, destroying the wooden homes - Carriacou airport is down and the only way to get there now is via boat. <br/><br/>“95% of roofs have been torn off, there’s no electricity and the biggest need right now is solar lights, personal hygiene goods, food and water, canned goods and meats. <br/><br/>“I saw people suffering but also the incredible spirit of Granadians and people of Carriacou bonding together and helping each other. <br/><br/>“There’s a lot of devastation, it’s terrible - they’re homeless and it’s shambles all around them. <br/><br/>“Homes have had their roofs ripped off and there’s no electricity and no phones. <br/><br/>“People who have the ability to help can send money, pray for them and encourage them – we need to help people in extreme need.”
