Hurricane Beryl turned out to be a powerful storm, killing two people and leaving trails of destruction in southern Jamaica.

Powerlines were down and hundreds of residents were left homeless as Beryl churns toward the Cayman Islands and Mexico.

The Jamaica Constabulary Force told NBC News that a 26-year-old man was swept away in floodwaters in Kingston and it is trying to recover another man who too was swept away.

“He was playing football with friends at the mini stadium when the ball went outside, and he attempted to retrieve it,” police said.
