Texas leaders discuss Beryl preparations
Acting Governor Dan Patrick and TDEM Chief Nim Kidd discuss the state's preparations for Beryl's landfall in the state.
The Texas landfall is Beryl’s third landfall since it formed as a tropical depression in the Atlantic more than 3,000 miles from Houston on June 28. It rapidly strengthened into a hurricane within the first 24 hours and intensified into a major hurricane within the next day.
SUGGESTED: Tropical Storm Beryl forms in Atlantic
It made landfall on Carriacou Island on July 1 as a Category 4 hurricane.
On July 2, it became the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record to form in the Atlantic.
As it roared across the Caribbean, Beryl left behind a trail of damage as well as deaths.
It weakened as it approached the Yucatan Peninsula, where it made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane near Tulum, Mexico, on July 5. It further weakened as it moved across land, emerging into the Gulf as a tropical storm.
