Sheryl Lee Ralph braces for Category 4 Hurricane Beryl in Jamaica: ‘Please stay inside’

LA Times  

Sheryl Lee Ralph is preparing to ride out Hurricane Beryl in Jamaica, where her son will get married on Saturday. Sheryl Lee Ralph has one request for her fans: “Pray for us you pray for others.” The “Abbott Elementary” star asked her social media fans for their support Tuesday as she prepares to ride out Hurricane Beryl, the dangerous and extremely powerful storm that has been battering the Caribbean islands since making landfall Monday in Grenada. In an Instagram story shared Tuesday, Etienne said he was optimistic that Hurricane Beryl would not be “as bad as people are thinking.” He also noted that some invitees opted to cancel their trips to his Saturday wedding. “#HappilyMauriced is still in full effect,” Etienne said in his story before adding, “I’m leaving it in God’s hands.” Hurricane Beryl has killed at least six people and was forecast to start losing intensity Tuesday but still be near major hurricane strength when it passes near or over Jamaica on Wednesday, near the Cayman Islands on Thursday and into Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula on Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center. “We are very concerned about a wide variety of life threatening impacts in Jamaica,” including storm surge, high winds and flash flooding, said Jon Porter, chief meteorologist at AccuWeather, calling Beryl “the strongest and most dangerous hurricane threat that Jamaica has faced, probably, in decades.” In a public address late Monday, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness urged people on the island to “take the hurricane as a serious threat,” but he also told them it is “not a time to panic.” Ralph urged folks to “please say inside” before adding that Jamaica would be under a curfew starting at 6 a.m. on Wednesday.
