When the storm arrives, Matagorda County is becoming a likely candidate for Beryl’s arrival.
– For now, Beryl is a tropical storm , but it is expected to strengthen into a hurricane before it makes landfall along the Texas Gulf Coast between Sunday night and early Monday morning.KSAT Meteorologist Justin Horne met a Port Alto family installing a new shed Sunday afternoon to protect their 60-year-old home before Beryl comes ashore.“We’re just tying the shed down so it doesn’t blow off. Hopefully,” the family told KSAT.
Thames said he was expecting high water to force roads and state highways in the county to shut down. County and city crews are preparing by making sure drainage ditches have been cleared out. “Unless it’s a life-threatening situation, there’s nothing worth you getting out and getting yourself into trouble and then putting our first responders in harm’s way trying to assist you,” Thames told KSAT.
Two Matagorda County cities, Bay City and Palacios, have also issued curfews that will go into effect Sunday night.
