Texas coastal residents told to expect power outages, flooding as Beryl moves closer to landfall

Texas officials are telling coastal residents to expect power outages and floodings as Beryl was forecast to potentially regain hurricane strength before making landfall. Landfall was expected early Monday. The outer bands of Beryl began lashing communities along the Texas shoreline on Sunday, bringing rain and intensifying winds. The storm was projected to make landfall in an area near Matagorda Bay, about 100 miles south of Houston, but officials warned that the path could still change. The chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management says residents along the coast should expect power outages as Beryl comes ashore. Several counties have issued voluntary evacuation orders.
