Mexico issues 'red alert' as Hurricane Beryl churns towards tourist hotspots

After leaving a trail of destruction across the eastern Caribbean, Hurricane Beryl hurtled towards Mexico's popular tourist spots on the Yucutan peninsula early Friday, prompting the country's authorities to issue a red alert. "Material things can be recovered. The most important thing is life," Mexico's outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador wrote on social media as he urged people to head to storm shelters.
