Elsewhere in the Northeast, remnants of Beryl brought heavy rains and life-threatening flash flooding to parts of Vermont, with some areas reporting up to six inches of rainfall in just a few hours. Video shared out of Barre, Vermont, showed streams of water gushing through the streets. As of Thursday morning, nearly 2,500 residents across the state remained without power, according to vtoutages.org.
Beryl made landfall Monday in Texas as a Category 1 hurricane before sweeping across much of the Central and Northeastern U.S. The storm system has been blamed for at least three deaths in the Houston area — two from downed trees falling on homes and another being a Houston police department employee who died after being trapped in rising floodwaters.Days later, more than 1 million people in Texas remain without power as sweltering extreme heat continues to blanket the state.
