Beryl becomes major hurricane forecast to bring life-threatening conditions to Caribbean – American Press
SUMMARY: Beryl intensified into a hurricane on Saturday, advancing towards the southeastern Caribbean.

Tropical storm warnings and watches are issued for Martinique, Tobago, and Dominica. Florida-based hurricane expert Michael Lowry noted the unusual early formation of such a powerful storm.

Beryl is expected to impact Jamaica and Mexico after passing near Barbados.

SUMMARY: The article, penned by Jim Beam, reflects on the 90-minute debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Voters are questioning if these are the only presidential options for 2024. Biden, criticized for his halting performance and age, attempted to counter Trump's false claims. CNN noted that Biden failed to allay voters' concerns, while Trump perpetuated election fraud myths and criticized Biden's presidency. NPR highlighted that the debate may not significantly influence the election outcome. Despite speculation, Biden affirmed his intention to continue campaigning. The article concludes that Biden and Trump remain the primary candidates for now.
