BTN News: Hurricane Beryl has hit the Texas coast as a Category 1 hurricane, just as experts predicted. The storm, which has already caused a lot of damage in Mexico and the Caribbean, is now bringing bad weather to Texas. The National Hurricane Center has warned about strong winds, heavy rain, and a dangerous storm surge that could harm people in many areas of Texas.
Beryl touched down in Matagorda County, Texas, at about 3:50 AM. Meteorologists from Univision 45 say the storm is moving north with winds of up to 80 miles per hour. Early in the morning, at around 3:30 AM, a tornado warning was given for Brazoria and Fort Bend counties. This shows that there are extra dangers from the storm.
The hurricane warning is in place along the Texas coast, from Mesquite Bay to Port Bolivar. As Beryl keeps moving inland, people in these areas should take steps to stay safe.
Beryl is the earliest storm to reach Category 5 in this Atlantic season. It has already caused a lot of damage and at least 11 deaths in the Caribbean before reaching Texas. The strong winds and heavy rain have disrupted life and created big problems for the affected communities.
Many flights out of Houston have been canceled for early Monday because of the storm. Bush Intercontinental Airport also temporarily closed Terminal B. People who are traveling should check their flight status and change their plans if needed.
As Beryl moves through Texas, people should stay alert and listen to updates from local authorities and weather services. The chances of more damage and dangerous conditions are high. It is important to stay informed and ready for any changes.
