Hurricane Beryl ripped through Jamaica, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines last week, missing Florida. It killed at least 11 people, toppled buildings, and caused power outages.
On Monday night, the storm and its strong winds made its way to Texas, where heavy rain forced the closure of oil ports, cancellation of hundreds of flights, and knocked out power to 2 million homes and businesses.
