Hurricane Beryl leaves hot misery in its wake as the still-dangerous storm churns through the US interiorPublished: 1 minute ago
A heat advisory was in effect through Wednesday in the Houston area and beyond, with temperatures expected to soar into the 90s and humidity that could make it feel as hot as 105 degrees . The widespread loss of power, and therefore air conditioning, could make for dangerous conditions, the National Weather Service said.
The storm weakened after making landfall, and late Tuesday morning it was a post-tropical cyclone centered over northeastern Arkansas, moving northeast with maximum sustained winds near 30 mph , the weather service said. Its strength wasn’t expected to change much in the next two days. It could take days to fully return power in Texas after Beryl toppled 10 transmission lines. Top priorities for power restoration include nursing homes and assisted living centers, said Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who is acting as governor while Gov. Greg Abbott is out of the country.
“We haven’t really slept,” said Eva Costancio as she gazed at a large tree that had fallen across electric lines in the Houston suburb of Rosenberg. Costancio said she had already been without power for several hours and worried that food in her refrigerator would be spoiled.The state was opening cooling centers, as well as food and water distribution centers, said Nim Kidd, chief of state emergency operations.
