Residents along the Texas Gulf Coast are bracing for Tropical Storm Beryl’s impact after its deadly path of destruction battered the Caribbean. NBC News’ Priscilla Thompson has the mass preparations underway and why Beryl’s landfall could lead to disaster.
Hurricane Beryl struck the Texas coast early Monday after regaining strength over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico overnight, with forecasters warning that dangerous storm surges and flash flooding were expected. The eye of the storm reached the coast at Matagorda Bay, which is about halfway between Corpus Christi and Galveston, the National Hurricane Center confirmed in an update at 5 a.m. ET.
On Sunday, the Houston Independent School District announced that all of its campuses would be closed Monday and Tuesday. A few tornadoes were possible along the coast, forecasters said, with the risk spreading Monday to east Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. Surf forecaster Surfline said waves in Galveston were reaching 8 to 10 feet Sunday night, with dangerous conditions.
