Hurricane Beryl made landfall early Monday morning in Texas on the Matagorda Peninsula, approximately 85 miles southwest of Houston. The storm struck as a Category 1 hurricane, bringing winds of up to 80 mph. Its trajectory is set to carry it inland over eastern Texas.

The National Weather Service has warned that Beryl is expected to deliver “very heavy rain, damaging hurricane-force winds, and life-threatening storm surge to the Texas coast.”

Before reaching Texas, Beryl carved a path of destruction through the Caribbean as the earliest Category 5 storm ever recorded in the Atlantic, resulting in at least 11 fatalities and widespread damage. The storm then moved across Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and the Gulf of Mexico. As Beryl progresses overland, it is expected to weaken and downgrade to a tropical storm by Monday.

As of Monday morning, hundreds of thousands of people in Texas were without power. CenterPoint Energy reported that more than 1.5 million customers in the Houston region alone were affected, according to the company’s outage tracker.
