Hurricane Beryl headed to Texas after hitting Mexico and leaving a trail of destruction across the eastern Caribbean.
Hurricane Beryl is approaching western parts of Houston after making landfall near Matagorda around 4 a.m. Monday, the National Hurricane Center said. Beryl strengthened from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane as it was approaching Texas, after it tore through parts of the Caribbean, where it killed at least 11 people, wrecked homes and toppled power lines.
