Hurricane Beryl made landfall in southeast Texas on Monday morning, killing at least two people, closing ports and airports, and leaving more than two million people without power.
Having been the season's earliest Category 5 hurricane on record when it hit the Caribbean days earlier, leaving at least 10 dead, Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Texas as a Category 1 hurricane with some 130 kilometer per hour winds.
It was downgraded to a tropical storm as it moved inland across Houston.

Over 1,000 flights at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston have been cancelled, while officials warned of destructive winds and up to 40 centimeters of rain accompanied by "life-threatening" storm surges.

By Monday afternoon, according to poweroutage.us, over 2.7 million customers in Texas were left without power.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said that Beryl is expected to move over the east of the state before moving into the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Ohio Valley on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The director of the Hurricane Center warned residents in Beryl's path to seek shelter "as hazardous conditions will persist even after the centre of Beryl moves through."
