Today I was reminded that hurricanes are not fun. It had been about 7 years since Houston took a big hit.
This was my first not working at a newspaper (meaning I got to stay home and take care of my own house instead of running out to take photos).
Thankfully we just had tree and fence damage and got it mostly cleaned up in about 8 hours. We’ve even got power tonight so are better off than almost 2 million others in the region.
We are now less than 24 hours before #Beryl will make landfall in Texas, likely near Matagorda, which is located about 90 miles south-southwest of Houston. Along this track the greater Houston area, particularly the western half of the metro area, will see significant effects in the form of strong, battering winds in addition to heavy rainfall.
With almost as much uncertainty as humidity in the air, the Houston area should be prepared for possible severe weather from #Beryl on Monday. We're sort of on the edge: Depending on which way Beryl goes in the last day and a half we could see anything from fairly minor winds to near hurricane-force gusts; and a few inches of rainfall up to 10 inches or more.
There have been unexpected, and significant changes in the forecast for Tropical Storm Beryl over the last 24 hours. The implications for Houston early next week range from relatively mild to fairly impactful, and we’ve tried to set some expectations in this update.
