Hurricane Beryl made landfall along the Texas coast as a Category 1 storm early Monday, unleashing a barrage of severe weather as it moved inland, prompting water rescues, disrupting hundreds of flights and leaving more than 1.5 million people without power.
Strengthening from a tropical storm back into a hurricane, Beryl had sustained winds of over 80 mph as it made landfall around 4:30 a.m. near Matagorda, a coastal community between Corpus Christi and Galveston, according to the National Hurricane Center.
