Hurricane Beryl (/ˈbɛr.əl/) was a deadly and destructive Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that impacted parts of the Caribbean, the Yucatán Peninsula, and the Gulf Coast of the United States in late June and early July 2024. It was the earliest-forming Category 5 hurricane on record during any season in the Atlantic and just the second in the month of July, the other being 2005's mid-July Hurricane Emily. Beryl was also the strongest hurricane to develop within the Main Development Region (MDR) of the Atlantic before the month of July. The second named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane[nb 1] of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Beryl was an atypical hurricane that, in addition to causing widespread destruction along its path across the Caribbean and United States, broke many meteorological records for the months of June and July, including its location, intensity and longevity.

Beryl developed from a tropical wave that left the coast of Africa on June 25. After forming on June 28 in the Main Development Region, it began rapidly intensifying as it moved west through the central tropical Atlantic. On July 1, Beryl made landfall on the island of Carriacou in Grenada as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, causing extensive damage. The hurricane intensified further as it entered the Caribbean Sea, peaking as a Category 5 hurricane early the next morning with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph (270 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 934 millibars (27.6 inHg), before slowly weakening over the next few days due to wind shear as it passed south of Jamaica and then the Cayman Islands. It briefly re-intensified to a Category 3 hurricane before weakening again as it made landfall in Tulum, Quintana Roo as a high-end Category 2 hurricane on July 5. Crossing the Yucatán Peninsula, where it quickly weakened to a tropical storm, the system moved into the Gulf of Mexico, where it gradually reorganized into a Category 1 hurricane on July 8, just before making a final landfall near Matagorda, Texas. Beryl quickly weakened as it accelerated to the northeast, eventually becoming post-tropical over the state of Arkansas the following day and impacting the Midwest.

Effects and casualties from the hurricane were widespread. Beryl caused catastrophic damage on Grenada's northern islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique and on several of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines' southern islands such as Union Island and Canouan where many structures were damaged or destroyed. In Venezuela, three people were killed and several were missing. Sustained damage was also recorded in the Yucatan as well, although it was relatively minor. In the United States, the state of Texas experienced severe flooding and wind damage, with reports of at least seven dead in the Houston region. Additionally, the outer bands of the hurricane produced a tornado outbreak, with tornadoes confirmed in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Indiana, and New York. As of July 11, a total of 29 fatalities have been confirmed, and preliminary damage estimates are more than US$6 billion.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring a tropical wave that left the coast of West Africa that day on June 25, producing disorganized showers south of Cabo Verde.[6] By the evening of June 27, the satellite presentation of the disturbance, now known as Invest 95L by the NHC, was beginning to show some organization, with curved bands developing around a broad circulation. Environmental conditions at the time were anomalously described as being "unusually conducive" for tropical cyclogenesis across the central and western tropical Atlantic for late June, with near record-warm sea surface temperatures (SST) of about 82 °F (28 °C), light wind shear of 5–10 kn (5.8–11.5 mph; 9.3–18.5 km/h), plus high mid-level moisture values of around 65–70%[7][8] The disturbance developed further over the next day, with persistent thunderstorm activity occurring. The center of circulation became well-defined enough for the NHC to designate the system as Tropical Depression Two over the central tropical Atlantic at 21:00 UTC on June 28, while located about 1,970 km (1,225 mi) east-southeast of Barbados.[9]

Located south of a strong subtropical ridge, the depression moved generally westward through an area of low wind shear, warm sea surface temperatures, and plenty of atmospheric moisture.[8] As a result, the system began a period of rapid intensification. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Beryl six hours after formation and the thunderstorms quickly organized into a central dense overcast, with a symmetric cloud pattern surrounded by rainbands.[10][11] Continuing its rapid intensification, Beryl became a hurricane on June 29 as the inner core of the thunderstorms developed into an eye.[12] Observations from the Hurricane Hunters indicated that Beryl became a major hurricane on June 30.[13] Beryl's initial bout of intensification culminated with the storm becoming a Category 4 hurricane, attaining an initial peak intensity with winds of 130 mph (215 km/h).[14] Beryl then underwent an eyewall replacement cycle, weakening slightly going into July 1.[15] The hurricane recovered and quickly restrengthened, and at 15:10 UTC the same day, made landfall in Carriacou, Grenada as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, with sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h).[16][17] Further intensification took place as Beryl entered the Caribbean Sea, with deep convection cooling around the well-defined eye, and Beryl became a Category 5 hurricane early on July 2.[18] The hurricane peaked later that morning with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph (270 km/h) and a pressure of 934 mb (27.6 inHg).[19] Increasing wind shear due to a tropical upper tropospheric trough eventually caused Beryl to slowly weaken to a Category 4 storm as it passed south of the Dominican Republic.[20][21]

Moving generally west-northwestward under the influence of the strong ridge to its north, Beryl's eye passed very near the southern coast of Jamaica on the afternoon of July 3. Despite the unfavorable conditions, Beryl remained relatively steady as a Category 4 hurricane.[22] Continued weakening eventually resumed, with Beryl falling below major hurricane intensity on July 4,[23] although it briefly regained Category 3 intensity that evening before weakening once more as the pressure again rose quickly.[24][25] At around 11:05 UTC on July 5, the system made landfall just northeast of Tulum, Quintana Roo, with sustained winds of 110 mph (175 km/h).[26] Inland, Beryl quickly weakened due to land interaction, degrading to a tropical storm.[27] The storm emerged into the Gulf of Mexico the following morning, steered west-northwestward at 13 mph (20 km/h) by the mid-level ridge located over the southeastern U.S.[28] That night and into the next day, in addition to a broader inner core, Beryl was beset by an infusion of dry air and by moderate wind shear which kept the storm from strengthening appreciably.[29] Even so, by the afternoon of July 6, its convective structure had improved some and had become more persistent.[30] Beryl turned to the north-northwest on July 7, and slowed to 10 mph (17 km/h).[31] Beryl re-intensified to hurricane strength near 04:00 UTC on July 8, as its 32 mi-wide (52 km) eye approached the Texas coast.[32] It then made its third and final landfall at 09:00 UTC near Matagorda, Texas with sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).[33] Eight hours later, the system was downgraded to a tropical storm, while centered about 45 mi (70 km) north-northwest of Houston, Texas.[34] Beryl continued to lose strength that afternoon as it moved quickly north-northeastward at 16 mph (26 km/h).[35] And, late that same day, the storm weakened to a tropical depression in the vicinity of Tyler, Texas.[36] The depression moved quickly to the northeast overnight, and Beryl transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone on the morning of July 9, about 160 mi (260 km) west-southwest of Paducah, Kentucky.[37] By the following day, the storm's remnants were moving through the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, tracking northeastward into Ontario.[38]

The Caribbean coast of the Dominican Republic and Haiti were put under a tropical storm warning on July 2.[60] The advisory was raised on July 3 to a hurricane watch for southwestern Haiti, and an orange alert was put into effect.[61] Additionally, a national cloud cover warning was activated for the Dominican Republic.[62]

Jamaica's Disaster Risk Coordination Committee convened to prepare for the hurricane.[63] The island was placed under a hurricane warning on July 1.[64] Additionally, a state of emergency was imposed as the island was declared a disaster zone as the hurricane approached. Also, a nationwide evacuation order was issued for residents of communities prone to flooding and landslides.[65] Norman Manley International Airport and Sangster International Airport were closed on July 3.[66] A nationwide curfew was implemented by the government on July 3.[67] 500 people across the nation were in shelters.[68] The Miss Universe Jamaica Grand Coronation, which was scheduled for July 6, was postponed.[69]

The Cayman Islands was put under a hurricane warning on July 2.[70] Owen Roberts International Airport and Charles Kirkconnell International Airport were closed the following day.[66] Shelters were also opened.[68] Just under 4000 persons were evacuated off of the Cayman Islands. Several hundred evacuated into Government Shelters. Cayman Islands Regiment and Cayman Islands Coast Guard fully deployed for Humanitarian Aid & Disaster Relief Operations.[71]

Norwegian, Carnival, and Disney cruise lines all altered their planned itineraries to avoid the hurricane.[72] Additionally, the various air carriers, including: Cayman Airways, American Airlines, Southwest, Delta, United, Air Canada, adjusted their flight schedules in the region on account of the storm.[66][73]

Mexico and Belize

On July 1, Quintana Roo was placed on a blue alert in preparation for Beryl.[74] This was upgraded to a red warning three days later.[75] On July 2, the Yucatán state government activated 2,000 shelters.[76] In Quintana Roo, the Mexican Defense Ministry opened 120 shelters. Also, schools throughout the state were closed,[77] as were public beaches.[78] Upward of 25,600 federal troops and national electricity company workers were mobilized throughout the region.[79] Officials prepared 9,000 U.S. gal (34,000 L) of potable water for distribution.[80] They also moved sea turtle eggs off beaches around Cancún in an attempt to protect them from storm surge.[65] The eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula was placed under a set of advisories on July 3: a hurricane warning for the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula from Puerto Costa Maya, Quintana Roo, to Cancún; a tropical storm warning south of Puerto Costa Maya to Chetumal, and north of Cancún to Cabo Catoche; and a tropical storm watch west of Cabo Catoche to Campeche, Campeche.[81] More than 300 flights into Cancún International Airport and Tulum International Airport were cancelled as Beryl moved in, and Tulum Airport suspended all operations from the afternoon of July 4 through midday July 7.[79][82] Tren Maya halted operations until July 6.[83] As Beryl moved across the western Gulf of Mexico, a hurricane watch was issued on July 5 for coastal Tamaulipas, from Barra El Mezquital to the mouth of the Rio Grande.[78][84]

On July 3, a Tropical Storm Watch was issued for the Caribbean coast of Belize, extending from Belize City to Corozal, including the islands of Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. Residents in the northern part of Belize were advised to prepare for flooding.[85] The watch was upgraded to a warning on July 4.[86]

United States Gulf Coast

In Texas, 121 of the state's counties were placed under a severe weather disaster declaration as Beryl approached.[87] On July 3, authorities in Cameron County, Texas, issued a voluntary evacuation order for occupants of recreational vehicles at three county trailer parks.[88] The Texas Cook'Em High Steaks event in Edinburg and ResacaFest in San Benito were postponed from their scheduled date of July 6.[89] Parts of the Texan coast was placed under hurricane warning July 6.[90] The city of Falfurrias offered residents to waive unpaid fines by filling sandbags.[91] Corpus Christi deployed all 10,000 of their sandbags for flood guarding. Several oil companies moved their employees from oil rigs located along the Texas coast.[92] A mandatory evacuation was ordered in Refugio County by County Judge Jhiela Poynter who cited that she "didn't want to take any chances" following the effects of Hurricane Harvey on Refugio County in 2017.[93] On July 7, FEMA activated its National Response Coordination Center.[94] Amtrak's July 8 northbound run of the Texas Eagle was cancelled between Longview, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri[95] with the southbound train being truncated at St. Louis as well.[96] July 9's westbound run of the Sunset Limited originated in San Antonio instead of New Orleans as well.[97]

Initial reports estimated that the hurricane caused more than $1 billion in economic losses.[101] The World Health Organization reported that 1,032 people required evacuation in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, 2,500 in Grenada, and 129 in Trinidad and Tobago.[102]

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines recorded seven deaths,[103] and experienced widespread devastation. The island of Saint Vincent experienced tropical storm force winds and storm surge.[104] Nearly every structure on Union Island was damaged by the hurricane, of which 90% were estimated to be destroyed. The effects on Union Island were described to be more catastrophic than Hurricane Ivan of 2004.[105] The Palm Island Resort, located about one mile (1.6 km) from Union Island on Palm Island suffered extensive damage, with all but two guest houses at the hotel flattened.[106] One death was confirmed on the island.[107] Around 90% of homes on Canouan and Mayreau were extensively damaged or destroyed.[108] Petit Saint Vincent suffered catastrophic damage as well.[109] 1,752 people needed to be relocated to shelters.[110]

Grenada

In Grenada, the island of Carriacou, along with neighboring Petite Martinique, had no electricity and limited communication, with extensive destruction of roofs and damage to buildings occurring.[111] In the rest of the country, 95% of customers were without power and telecommunications were damaged.[112] One person died on the main island of Grenada when a house collapsed in St. George's.[113] Two others were killed on the island of Carriacou.[114] The International Organization for Migration Caribbean Office reported that they had not been able to receive any communications from Carriacou, Petite Martinique, or the Grenadines for several hours after landfall.[115] More than 1,600 people needed to be moved into shelters, with OCHA reporting that 100% of the population was affected by the hurricane.[110] 100% of homes in Petite Martinique were damaged or destroyed.[116]

Elsewhere

In Tobago, nine trees fell and nine structures were damaged. Power outages also occurred across the island.[48] In Trinidad, power outages occurred mainly on the northern and eastern parts of the island. Flooding also occurred on the northern half of Trinidad.[117][118] Électricité de France stated that 10,000 customers lost power in Martinique.[119] In Fort-de-France, flooding in the downtown reached knee-depth.[120] In Barbados, roofs, trees and electrical posts were damaged.[51] Businesses and roads were flooded. Fishing boats were damaged.[120] 208,200 people, equal to about 74% of the population, were affected by the storm, with at least forty homes suffering damage.[110] In Saint Lucia, trees and powerlines were downed. Many homes made of weaker materials were damaged and multiple cows were killed.[107][121]

While Beryl's core did not directly cross Venezuela, its outer bands still caused notable impacts in the country, damaging over 8,000 houses.[103] In the state of Sucre, three people were killed and five others were missing, while more than 6,000 houses were damaged because of the hurricane.[122] The city of Cumanacoa was flooded by rain dumped by Beryl, which caused the area's Manzanares River to overflow.[123] Several injuries occurred across the country as well.[124] Several officials, including Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, were injured by a falling tree during a tour of the damage in Cumanacoa.[125]

Greater Antilles

Hurricane Beryl produced gusty winds and rough surf in the Dominican Republic. The hurricane displaced 89 people and cut service to 57 aqueducts. Large waves scattered debris on a section of the Las Américas Highway in Santo Domingo. Storm surge flooding was reported in the neighborhood of Ciudad Nueva, detouring traffic. A landslide destroyed a home in La Zurza. Multiple beachfront shops in Boca Chica were damaged by rough waves. Four dwellings were destroyed by storm surge in La Ciénaga, Barahona, where an additional three houses were damaged.[126]

Beryl brushed the southern coast of Jamaica on July 3, with strong winds and rain.[127] At least three people were killed on the island,[128] while another went missing after he was washed away by floods.[129] The Jamaican Public Service Company stated that over 400,000 people were without power.[130] A small portion of roof of a passenger boarding pier was damaged at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.[131] Kingston itself had most of its power knocked out.[132] At least 1,000 people needed to be relocated to shelters.[110]

In the Cayman Islands, over 5,000 were affected by power outages.[133] Flash floods and mudslides occurred across the islands.[79]

Mexico

Beryl brought heavy rains and high winds to Cancún and the Riviera Maya resort district along the Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo, resulting in downed trees and power lines, and damage to many roofs; there was also widespread flooding.[79] Many areas lost electricity, including Tulum, Cozumel, and Islas Mujeres municipalities.[134] About 2,200 people were staying in shelters as the system moved through.[79] Tourist infrastructure was without major damage.[78] Beryl's high winds also resulted in fallen trees and power outages in Campeche, including Hopelchén Municipality.[135]

United States

See also: Hurricane Beryl tornado outbreak

Damage in the United States ranged from $750 million to $1.2 billion, based on an estimate by the BMS Group.[136] A prolific tornado outbreak spawned by Hurricane Beryl happened in eastern Texas, western Louisiana, and Arkansas on July 8.[137][138][139] Overall, 113 tornado warnings were issued by the National Weather Service on July 8, the most for a single day in July, surpassing the 67 issued on July 6, 2005, which were related to Hurricane Cindy.[140] The outbreak continued into July 9 with more tornadoes being confirmed[141][142] before impacting the interior Northeastern United States on July 10.[143]

Texas

Significant flooding caused by Hurricane Beryl in Houston, Texas.

Beryl made landfall near Matagorda with the east side of the eyewall impacting Brazoria County. It produced wind gusts over 60–70 mph (97–113 km/h) with a peak gust of 97 mph (156 km/h) in Brazoria.[144] Significant impacts from Beryl took place in Surfside Beach, where siding was completely ripped off from the second story of a house.[145] Multiple A frame homes along the beach were mostly destroyed as a result of Beryl's winds.[146] Numerous other structures suffered extensive damage within the town.[147] In Lake Jackson, Beryl's winds peeled back roofs, knocked down chimneys, and destroyed exterior brick facades.[148]

As Beryl tracked into Texas, Houston was directly impacted by Beryl's eyewall. More than 2.7 million lost power.[149] Over 8 in (200 mm) of rain fell in and around Houston, with a peak rainfall amount for the state being west-southwest of the city at 13.55 in (344 mm).[150]

Nine tornadoes were confirmed in the state; another tornado tracked out of Louisiana and into Texas.[137] An EF1 tornado caused considerable damage southwest of Jamaica Beach[151] while an EF2 tornado caused major damage on the west side of Jasper, injuring one person.[152] A high-end EF1 tornado also moved through the town of Timpson, causing roads to become unpassable with one person being trapped.[153][154] An EF0 tornado and five other EF1 tornadoes were also confirmed in the state;[153] the tornado that tracked into Texas out of Louisiana was rated EF1 as well.[153] Two tornadoes were also reportedly spotted in Beaumont, one of which caused some roof damage, although this has not been confirmed yet.[155]

A 53-year-old man was killed in Humble after an oak tree fell into the house with the man and his family inside, crushing the man underneath structural debris. The other occupants of the house were unharmed. A 74-year-old woman was also killed when a tree fell into her room in the Ponderosa Forest neighborhood north of Houston. A woman in her mid-50s was killed when her house caught fire in southeast Houston.[156] A Houston Police Department civilian employee was killed after his car was submerged on Houston Avenue near I-45.[157] Two people drowned in Fort Bend County, and a man was killed by a tree falling on his tractor in New Caney.[158]

Louisiana

In Cameron Parish, Louisiana, portions of LA 27 and LA 82 alongside some roads in Lake Charles saw debris and heavy rainfall due to Beryl.[159] As the storm traveled inland, it had brought severe weather to the northwestern side of the state, with several tornado warnings and power outages;[160][161] 12 tornadoes were confirmed in the state, including multiple large and long-tracked tornadoes.[137] East of Benton, a woman died, and her two children were injured when an EF1 tornado knocked a tree down onto her mobile home.[153][162] Two large EF2 tornadoes were also confirmed,[153] with one of them striking Pleasant Hill before causing additional damage north of the town.[153] To the east of the town, a natural gas leak occurred on LA 174.[162] An EF0 tornado and eight other EF1 tornadoes were also confirmed in the state, including the aforementioned EF1 tornado that crossed the state line into Texas.[153] Over 20,000 SWEPCO customers lost power in Northwestern Louisiana.[163]

Mississippi Valley

Arkansas was battered by rain as Beryl moved through as a tropical depression. The highest rainfall total in the state was 8 in (200 mm) in Ico in Grant County. Areas in the Little Rock metropolitan area in Pulaski County received over 2 in (51 mm) of rain with the peak total being 7.31 in (186 mm) in the Ferndale area.[164] Although it had weakened, wind gusts up to tropical storm force were recorded in the state. The peak recorded gust was 47 mph (76 km/h) in Doddridge.[165][166] Many tornado warnings were issued in the south side of the state as well;[167][168][169] four EF1 tornadoes and one EF0 tornado has been confirmed in that part of the state.[170] Almost 14,000 Arkansans were without power.[171]

A flood watch was in effect in Missouri for the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers,[172] and other parts of the state, including near the Lake of the Ozarks. The game between St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals was rescheduled due to rainfall from Beryl. St. Louis saw flooding and heavy rainfall.[173]

Ohio Valley

On July 9, the remnants of Hurricane Beryl spawned a long-tracked supercell that produced six tornadoes in western Kentucky and southwestern Indiana. The first two tornadoes touched down in Kentucky, both of which caused EF1 damage. After crossing the Ohio River in Indiana the storm spawned a low-end EF3 tornado that heavily damaged an industrial area and derailed a train on the east side of Mount Vernon, Indiana. The storm later produced two EF1 tornadoes and an EF2 tornado as well.[137] Separate storms also produced EF0 tornadoes near Dubre, Kentucky and Shoals, Indiana.[174] Several tornado watches were issued in addition to flood warnings, watches, and advisories due to heavy rainfall across the Ohio Valley.[175]

Great Lakes

As the storm's remnants moved over the Lower Peninsula of Michigan late that day and into the next day, 34 counties were put under a flood watch and 8 under a flood advisory.[38] In Western New York, 25,000 customers lost power;[176] Six weak tornadoes were also confirmed in the state with three of them rated EF1, two of them rated EF0, and one that was rated EFU.[177][178][179]

Vermont

Vermont was hit with severe flooding due to Beryl's remnants, wiping away bridges and severely damaging homes. Over 100 people in the state required rescuing due to the storm. Montpelier was the hardest hit area, with over 6 inches (150 mm) of rainfall falling near the city. A man in his car was swept off the road and killed in the town of Peacham.[180] In Plainfield, an apartment building was completely wiped away by floodwaters, and a car was swepts away into the water.[181]

Canada

As the remnants of Beryl tracked in Canada, torrential rainfall occurred in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, with some places receiving two weeks of rainfall in one day. This caused a persistent heat wave to be cut off, ending a heat warning for the city.[182]

On July 10, the Decarie Expressway in Montreal, Quebec, was closed for an hour due to torrential rainfall. Up to 100 millimetres (3.9 in) was recorded in other parts of the city, flooding some streets and basements and delaying traffic.[183][184]

Aftermath

After the hurricane passed the Caribbean, the United Nations authorized $4 million in aid.[185] The Government of Canada announced it will provide $1.2 million in humanitarian assistance.[186] The United States Agency for International Development announced $4.5 million in humanitarian aid for countries affected by Beryl, including $2.5 million for Jamaica.[187] The European Union authorized $450,000 in humanitarian aid for countries in the Lesser Antilles.[188]

The Royal Navy sent a warship with supplies to the Cayman Islands.[189] The Mexican Army volunteered in soup kitchens.[190]

Records

See also: List of Atlantic hurricane records

Beryl is the easternmost hurricane to form in the tropical Atlantic in June — 49.3°W, beating the mark set by the 1933 Trinidad hurricane — 58.9°W.[191][192] Additionally, it became the earliest Category 4 hurricane on record in the basin, surpassing the previous record set on July 8, 2005, by Hurricane Dennis,[191][193] and the strongest June hurricane as measured by wind speed, surpassing Hurricane Audrey of 1957.[194][195] It later became the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record, surpassing the record set on July 16, 2005, by Hurricane Emily, as well as becoming the strongest July hurricane on record by wind speed,[193][196][197] and the highest accumulated cyclone energy generating storm before August.[nb 2][199]

Beryl also became the first tropical system on record to undergo rapid intensification in the Main Development Region of the Atlantic during the month of June.[191][193] Further, it intensified from tropical storm to Category 5 hurricane in only 42 hours. Six other Atlantic storms are known to have achieved this rate of intensification, with Beryl the only one to do so earlier than September.[191][200] According to an analysis by ClimaMeter, a project of the Climate and Environment Sciences Laboratory, Beryl's extreme winds and heavy precipitation were strengthened by climate change. Natural climate variability, notably the Pacific decadal oscillation and the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation, likely played a role as well.[201]

Notes

  1. ^ Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher—1-minute sustained winds higher than 110 miles per hour (178 km/h)—on the Saffir–Simpson scale are described as major hurricanes.[5]
  2. ^ A storm's ACE index represents the sum of the squares of the maximum 1-minute sustained wind speed (knots) for that named storm measured every six hours while it is at least tropical storm intensity (≤33 kn (38 mph; 61 km/h)), divided by 10,000.[198]
