AUSTIN (KXAN) — Three people in the Houston area died as Hurricane Beryl pushed through Texas on Monday, state leaders said at a press conference.
Beryl made landfall Monday around 4 a.m. near Matagorda, Texas, as a Category 1 Hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. Beryl was downgraded to a tropical storm around 10 a.m. Monday as it moved toward Houston.
State leaders, including Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, held a press conference Monday afternoon with an update on the state's response to the now-tropical storm.
The storm knocked out power for more than 2 million people around the Houston area. Beryl brought significant rain to southeast Texas causing flooding across Houston's roads and bayous.
Patrick said the timeline for restoring power is unclear, adding that the storm knocked down 10 transmission towers.
As of 1 p.m. Monday, Beryl was a tropical storm moving north to northwest of Houston with sustained winds around 60 mph.
