My youngest is headed to vet school in August, in West Indies Grenada where, according to their website,

St. George’s University is located in Grenada, just north of South America and below the path most hurricanes follow through the Caribbean.

Well, I guess Hurricane Beryl is blowing that concept right outta the water. So much for reassurances!!! I was thinking I wouldn't have to worry about storms much. Kiddo said today that they have everyone sheltering at the school.

From St George's University website:

Hurricanes: Grenada lies south of the typical path of Atlantic hurricanes, but hurricane conditions can occur. In the past 60 years, Grenada has only experienced one major hurricane. In 2004, a severe storm hit Grenada. However, the True Blue campus, built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane, was a safe haven for our students, staff, and faculty.
