Austin opioid overdose outbreak: Nearly 80 overdoses since Monday | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: 79 overdoses with as many as nine deaths occurred within a week, possibly due to fentanyl-related drugs. The spike in overdoses was the largest since dealing with K2 in 2015. New classes of opioids like the nine class have been emerging, leading to a movement away from heroin towards counterfeit pills mixed with fentanyl. Authorities in Williamson County and Texas against fentanyl are urging residents to stay vigilant and consider evidence-based solutions like decriminalizing drug paraphernalia and increasing overdose awareness training. There is still much unknown about the recent overdose event, but efforts are being made to gather actionable information.
One suspect is in custody in connection with this week's deadly drug overdoses in Austin. ATCEMS says, since Monday, nearly 80 people have overdosed in the city.

Hurricane Beryl Update: Latest on storm’s path
SUMMARY: Barrel's eyewall is closely brushing the south coast of Jamaica but is not expected to make landfall as it parallels the coastline. Winds are at 140 mph, cementing its status as a Category 4 hurricane. Moving West-Northwest at 20 mph, Barrel will pass south of the Cayman Islands with strong tropical storm force winds. It's projected to weaken to a Category 2 before making landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula early Friday. After crossing the Yucatan, it may regain Category 1 strength in the Gulf of Mexico. There remains uncertainty if it will impact northern Mexico or the South Texas coast, particularly around Brownsville or Corpus Christi, by the weekend.
Hurricane Beryl is moving near Jamaica before heading west towards Mexico and possibly Texas. FOX 4's Dan Henry is tracking the storm.
