The Gulf of Mexico is surging onshore in Texas as a result of Beryl's powerful winds, causing significant impacts along the coast. In Sargent, near where Beryl made landfall on the middle Texas coast, homes are surrounded by water and vehicles are struggling to navigate through the flooded streets. Street signs are barely visible above the water, indicating the presence of submerged roads.
The force of the water and hurricane-force wind gusts has caused power poles to lean precariously, unable to withstand the relentless onslaught. Wind gusts exceeding 90 mph have been recorded in Texas, creating dangerous conditions for residents in the affected areas. The powerful winds have torn shingles off homes in Sargent and shattered windows, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
