Tropical Storm Beryl Regains Hurricane Strength, Expected to Bring Damage to South Texas
Storm Expected to Strengthen Before Reaching Coast
Tropical Storm Beryl is expected to strengthen into a hurricane again before it reaches the South Texas coast on Monday, bringing the potential for damaging winds and heavy rainfall. The storm regained hurricane strength early Monday as it approached the central Texas coastline, prompting state officials to urge coastal residents to evacuate ahead of its expected landfall.
Eastward Shift in Hurricane's Projected Path
The hurricane's path has shifted eastward, placing the lower-Texas coast under a tropical storm watch. Wind speeds exceeding 60 miles per hour are anticipated, along with heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding. State officials have issued mandatory evacuation orders for several coastal counties.
Evacuations Urged Ahead of Landfall
Thousands of coastal residents were urged to evacuate on Sunday as Tropical Storm Beryl intensified. The storm is expected to make landfall late Sunday or early Monday, bringing damaging winds, heavy rain, and the potential for flooding.
Residents in affected areas are advised to heed evacuation orders, prepare emergency supplies, and stay informed about the storm's track and intensity. Further updates will be provided as the storm approaches the Texas coastline.
