 Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly. Hurricane Beryl came ashore this morning along the Gulf Coast of Texas, south of Galveston. The Category 1 storm has top sustained winds of 80 miles per hour. Millions of people in the U.S. are in areas under heat advisories or excessive heat warnings. They're posted in nearly two dozen states. They cover the West Coast, much of the Gulf Coast, and parts of the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast.
