Beryl is hurtling across the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico on a collision course with Texas.
Powerful winds and rain approached Texas on Sunday morning as Beryl was expected to turn from a tropical storm into a hurricane overnight and pound a long stretch of coast with heavy downpours, howling gusts and dangerous storm surge. A long stretch of Texas' shoreline was under a hurricane warning as Beryl's outer bands were forecast to begin lashing the coast Sunday.
In Corpus Christi, officials asked visitors to cut their trips short and advised residents to secure homes by boarding up windows and using sandbags to guard against flooding. Ben Koutsoumbaris, general manager of Island Market on Corpus Christi’s Padre Island, said there has been “definitely a lot of buzz about the incoming storm,” with customers stocking up on food and drinks, particularly meat and beer.
