 Hurricane Beryl came ashore near Matagorda, Texas, at around 4 a.m. Central Time this morning, about 100 miles south of Houston. Meanwhile, the outer bands of the storm have been lashing the coast with rain and intensifying winds since last night. Linda Hidalgo is judge of Harris County, home to Houston. The storm is a large, large tropical system, so that's why it'll take those full 12 hours to pass through our entire county. It is simply not safe to be outside.
