Hurricane Beryl Weakens, Heads Towards Mexico

Hurricane Beryl, initially a Category 5 hurricane, has weakened to a Category 3 as it heads towards Mexico, causing significant damage and casualties along its path through the Caribbean. The storm is expected to hit the Yucatan Peninsula and then move towards the Gulf of Mexico, prompting preparations and evacuations in tourist areas like Tulum and Cancun. Despite the storm losing some intensity, it remains a major hurricane with winds of up to 120 mph, leading to concerns and preventive measures in various regions. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has criticized the sensationalism surrounding Beryl and assured preparedness for the storm's impact on the country's coasts at multiple points.
