At least three people were killed after Beryl brought howling winds and torrential rain to the state. The storm also inundated highways, closed oil ports, halted over 1,300 flights and knocked out power for more than 2.7 million homes and businesses.

Beryl, the season's earliest Category 5 hurricane on record, weakened from a hurricane after pounding the coastal Texas town of Matagorda with dangerous storm surges and heavy rain before moving across Houston, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
