Belizeans Evacuate Islands as Storm Approaches Yucatan Peninsula
The past few days have been filled with anticipation as Belizeans and neighbors from the Caribbean and Central American brace for Hurricane Beryl. Officials from the National Meteorological Service say that the storm will not pose a direct threat to Belize. Nonetheless, the public is advised to proceed with caution as the storm may change its path at any moment. With that in mind, hundreds of Belizeans are evacuating their homes in San Pedro and Caye Caulker to seek shelter on the mainland. Local airlines and water taxis are suspending services until an all clear is given. News Five’s Britney Gordon spoke to a few of those businesses today for more information. Here’s that story.
