Texan officials say restoring electricity will take days after Beryl, a Category 1 hurricane, came ashore on Monday and knocked out power to nearly three million homes and businesses.
At least three people were killed as Beryl moved through Texas. The fast-moving storm threatened to carve a harsh path over several more states in the coming days. The National Hurricane Centre said damaging winds and flash flooding will continue as Beryl pushes inland. Television stations broadcast the dramatic rescue of a man who had climbed to the roof of his pickup truck after it got trapped in fast-flowing waters. Emergency crews used an extension ladder from a fire truck to drop him a life preserver and a tether before moving him to dry land.Flood warnings also were in effect across a wide stretch of the Texas coast, where a powerful storm surge pushed water ashore, and further inland as heavy rain continued to fall.
The storm’s centre is expected to move over eastern Texas on Monday and then through the lower Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley on Tuesday and Wednesday, the weather service said.
