In Texas, at least seven people were killed and millions were left without electricity Monday after Hurricane Beryl made landfall south of Galveston with sustained winds of 80 miles per hour. The Category 1 storm brought a month’s worth of rain to parts of the Houston metro area in less than six hours. Two million people are without power with a heat index forecast of 105 degrees. This month, Beryl became the earliest-ever major hurricane in the Atlantic, at one point strengthening to a Category 5 storm as it tore through the Caribbean, killing at least 11 people.
