And so while Beryl will not make a direct hit on Belize - as you heard - those feeder bands of rain will and are affecting the country. 4 to 6 inches of rainfall are expected and shelters are opening up:
Daniel Mendez, National Emergency Coordinator for NEMO

We will be on 24/7 Watch for the next few hours and as long as necessary."
