Hurricane Beryl tracker: Where the storm is headed
SUMMARY: A severe storm named Barrel is impacting areas near Houston with tornado warnings issued east of Liberty. Earlier, Galveston experienced a tornado and a 94 mph wind gust around Freeport. Although the storm's eye is beginning to fill in, it remains strong, moving north towards Houston's western suburbs. Unexpectedly, four days ago, no computer models predicted this path. Those models serve as guidance, not absolute truth. The storm is projected to track into East Texas and the Arklatex, avoiding our area but bringing significant rainfall, with 6-10 inches already near the coast and heavy rain extending to regions like Palestine and Red River County.
Hurricane Beryl made landfall on Monday morning, knocking out power to thousands along Texas' Gulf Coast. FOX 4's Evan Andrews is tracking the storm and telling you where it is headed next.
