More Than 2.6 Million People Without Power After Hurricane Beryl Batters Texas; Major Flooding in Houston, at Least 2 Dead [VIDEOS]
Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Matagorda, Texas as a category 1 storm early Monday morning.
More than 2.6 million people are without power in the surrounding Houston area. At least two people are dead.
“Authorities in Texas have confirmed a second US death related to Beryl, which is now a tropical storm as it barrels across Texas. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said a tree fell on a home, striking a 74-year-old woman in the Houston suburb of Bammel. She was pronounced dead at the scene,” Accuweather reported.
“Earlier Monday morning, Gonzalez reported that a 53-year-old man was killed in the Houston suburb of Humble when a tree fell on his house, trapping him beneath the debris. The man was riding out Hurricane Beryl with his family. His wife and children were unharmed,” Accuweather said.
