The storms that shaped how Grenada prepares.
| Storm | Date | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| Hurricane Janet | 22 September 1955 | Struck Grenada directly as a major hurricane; the island's deadliest storm of the 20th century |
| Hurricane Ivan | 7 September 2004 | Passed just south of Grenada as a major hurricane; most homes were damaged or destroyed |
| Hurricane Emily | 14 July 2005 | Hit Carriacou and northern Grenada less than a year after Ivan |
| Hurricane Beryl | 1 July 2024 | Made landfall on Carriacou as a Category 4 hurricane, devastating Carriacou and Petite Martinique |
Grenada sits at the southern edge of the hurricane belt, and long gaps between direct hits can make a storm feel unlikely. Janet and Ivan came almost 50 years apart. Each time, the lessons were the same: prepare early, know your shelter, and take official alerts seriously.
