Hurricane Beryl struck Texas as a Category 1 storm, bringing heavy rains, powerful winds, and widespread damage. The storm caused flooding, knocked out power to nearly 3 million homes and businesses, and tragically claimed at least three lives. As Beryl moved east, it weakened but continued to cause havoc, with tornadoes in Louisiana and ongoing power outages.
In Houston, over 2 million homes and businesses were left without power, turning the summer heat into a potential health crisis. The loss of electricity disrupted daily life, especially for those relying on medical equipment. Power crews were deployed, prioritizing critical areas, but full restoration was expected to take days.
