Hurricane Ivan in 2004 was the last strong hurricane to hit the southeastern Caribbean, causing catastrophic damage in Grenada as a Category 3 storm. Hurricane Beryl lashed the southeastern Caribbean as a Category 4 storm — an unprecedented strength this early in the Atlantic season.

Darcy Bourassa was just walking around his house on Tuesday when 'I must have stepped right in the perfect spot and went through.'
