The powerful storm moved over land around 4 a.m. Central Standard Time on Monday, The Nationaal Weather Service said.
Hurricane Beryl has strengthened to a Category 1 storm as it heads toward southern Texas.Beryl has made landfall on the middle Texas coast near Matagorda with a dangerous storm surge and strong winds. Beryl strengthened and again became alate Sunday as it heads toward southern Texas, where the storm's outer bands lashed the coast with rain and intensifying winds as residents prepared for the powerful storm that already cut a deadly path through parts of Mexico and the Caribbean.
Tropical storm winds extended 115 miles from the center and the hurricane center warned residents to be prepared for possible flash flooding in parts of middle, upper and eastern Texas as well as Arkansas as the storm gradually turns to the north and then northeast later Monday. At the nearby marina, Percy Roberts showed his neighbor Ken Waller how to properly secure his boat as heavy winds rolled in from the bay Sunday evening.
Beryl's explosive growth into an unprecedented early whopper of a storm indicates the hot water of the Atlantic and Caribbean and what the Atlantic hurricane belt can expect for the rest of the storm season, experts said.
