Before Hurricane Beryl even touched down in Tobago, approximately 80 individuals took shelter at community centers to ride out the storm. According to a TEMA official, these proactive measures were put in place to ensure the safety of residents as the hurricane approached.
Despite the looming threat, reports of infrastructural damage or downed power lines were notably absent. Instead, most areas experienced only windy conditions and overcast skies, with no significant or persistent rainfall reported.
However, the rough seas resulted in two fishing boats overturning at the beach in Charlotteville. Chief Secretary Farley Augustine addressed this concern at a news conference held at Fairfield Complex on June 30, advising fishermen to bring their boats ashore to prevent any potential damage from the turbulent waters.
