The American Red Cross of Greater Pennsylvania sent ten disaster responders to East Texas in the wake of Hurricane Beryl, which made landfall on Monday.YORK, Pa. — As people in East Texas work to pick up the pieces after Hurricane Beryl swept through the Gulf Coast, volunteers from Pennsylvania are offering a helping hand.
More than 400 Red Cross disaster responders from across the country are in Texas to help with the ongoing hurricane relief efforts. Burke said ten people from Pennsylvania are among the volunteers helping, including Thomas Gormley from Lancaster County. As of Tuesday, more than two million people are still without power and at least eight people died during the storm. The hurricane has also forced roughly 125 people into emergency shelters.“There’s a combined heat and humidity that makes it feel like it’s almost 105 degrees, so that creates additional dangerous situations as people begin to clean up their homes," said Burke."They’re without power and without air conditioning.
