Ports in Houston and Galveston remain closed in wake of Hurricane Beryl
SUMMARY: Hurricane Beryl struck Texas as a Category 1 hurricane, causing ports in Houston and Galveston to remain closed. Port Houston plans to resume normal operations on Wednesday with extended gate hours. The storm led to flooding, power outages affecting over 2.5 million homes and businesses, and resulted in eight fatalities across Texas and Louisiana. Other ports, including Galveston and Freeport, also halted operations but expect to reopen soon. The Coast Guard lifted port condition ‘Zulu' for several ports, including Corpus Christi. Shipping giant Maersk and BNSF Railway reported disruptions but anticipate resuming activities as conditions allow.

SUMMARY: A storm hit Galveston County early morning, causing significant flooding. Texas City saw water entering homes, prompting officials to advise against long trips. Rainfall exceeded six inches, with more expected throughout the day. Flash flood watches cover most of the county, and debris from Hurricane Beryl heightened flood risks. Low-lying areas and certain roads are heavily affected. Power outages occurred, likely due to lightning, and roads are impassable in several spots. Emergency crews are working on rescues and clearing drains. Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve, with rain expected to ease by the evening.
