1. Various satellite animatiosn of Hurricane Beryl off the south Texas coast late Sunday night local time
STORYLINE:
Beryl strengthened and again became a hurricane late Sunday as it headed toward southern Texas, where its outer bands lashed the coast with rain and intensifying winds as residents prepared for the powerful storm that has already cut a deadly path through parts of Mexico and the Caribbean.
People on the Texas coast boarded up windows and left beach towns under evacuation order.
The hurricane top sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph), according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
It was moving northwest at 10 mph (16 kph).
The storm was projected to come ashore early Monday in the middle of the Texas coast around Matagorda Bay, an area about 100 miles (161 kilometers) south of Houston, but officials cautioned the path could still change.
As the storm neared the coast, Texas officials warned Sunday it could cause power outages and flooding but also expressed worry that not enough residents and beach vacationers in Beryl’s path had heeded warnings to leave.
Tropical storm winds extended 115 miles (185 kilometers) from the center.
Official warned residents to be prepared for possible flash flooding in parts of middle, upper and eastern Texas as well as Arkansas as the storm gradually turns to the north and then northeast later Monday.
