LIVE updates: 4 dead and millions without power amid dangerous heat after Beryl roars ashore.Beryl will continue to bring damaging winds, storm surge flooding, inland flooding from rain, damaging wind gusts and even tornadoes to parts of the south-central United States into Tuesday.Hurricane Beryl, as seen on AccuWeather Enhanced RealVue™ Satellite, while making landfall near Matagorda, Texas, at 4:00 a.m. CDT on July 8, 2024.
Because Beryl was strengthening at the time of landfall, it will be slow to unwind initially. During Monday morning and midday, Beryl's eyewall passed close to Houston with torrential rain and hurricane-force winds creating dangerous conditions. But, even as the storm surge subsides, an enraged Gulf of Mexico will continue to produce strong and frequent rip currents from Texas to Florida.
While hurricanes are considered phenomena of the ocean, freshwater flooding from heavy rain can be a killer that extends far inland from the point of landfall. "As Beryl moves inland, it transition into a tropical rainstorm," said Pydynowski."However, rain bands and squalls located to the east and southeast of Beryl’s center will contain a lot of spinning motion, which can spawn tornadoes."
