Tropical Storm Beryl is expected to regain hurricane strength and make landfall along the Texas coast early on Monday morning. Coastal residents in Beryl's projected path have been ordered to evacuate and officials are concerned not enough people are heeding the warnings. Beryl is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge flooding of up to 6 feet to coastal areas of Texas. This could cause widespread power outages. The storm previously caused extensive damage as a Category 5 hurricane in parts of the Caribbean like Jamaica and Mexico.
