Tropical storm Beryl brought rain and wind to the Texas coast Sunday and is expected to re-intensify into a rare July hurricane before making landfall today.
Many Texas beaches are under evacuation orders, and officials in several counties have asked vacationers to leave. The storm is responsible for 11 deaths after hitting Mexico and passing through the Caribbean.
Beryl would be only the fourth hurricane to hit Texas in July in the last 25 years. Gulf Coast residents in the storm’s path have been warned to expect power outages and flooding.
