The Devastating Impact of Hurricane Beryl


Hurricane Beryl, a Category 4 storm, made landfall on the Texas coast, bringing with it wind speeds exceeding 115 mph, torrential rains, and severe flooding. The storm left a trail of destruction, with millions of residents experiencing prolonged power outages. The critical infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and emergency services, struggled to operate under the stress of the damaged power grid.


Widespread Power Outages

At the peak of the storm, over 2 million households in Texas were without power. The extensive damage to power lines and substations prolonged the outages, with some areas taking weeks to restore electricity fully.


Economic Impact

Businesses faced significant disruptions, leading to millions of dollars in economic losses. Small businesses, in particular, suffered as they lacked the resources to invest in backup power solutions.
