Beryl slams into Texas, leaving at least eight dead and millions without power

Tropical Storm Beryl made landfall in southeast Texas yesterday as a Category 1 hurricane, killing at least eight people and knocking out power for nearly three million people.

The storm—now a tropical depression—unleashed rains and winds that flooded roads.

The storm has also caused cancellations of more than 1,400 flights.

Restoring power for millions could take days—posing a threat to residents—as a heat advisory has been issued for southeast Texas, where heat indices could hit 105 degrees and high temperatures in the 90s are forecast across the region.
