Houston got hit hard…

    • Hurricane Beryl made landfall as a Category 1 storm near Matagorda, Texas, early Monday.
    • It is the 10th hurricane on record to make landfall in Texas in July.
    • Beryl was downgraded to a tropical storm as it moved inland, triggering flash floods and possible tornadoes.
    • More than 2.7 million customers lost power in the Houston area, and as of Monday evening the number was still about 2 million.
    • At least four deaths in Texas have been blamed on the storm so far.
