The coastal town of Tulum, Mexico, is on high alert as Hurricane Beryl regains strength and threatens to make landfall in Texas. The storm, which wreaked havoc on the Caribbean islands, is expected to hit the Texas coast as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday, according to experts at the National Hurricane Center.
After causing at least 11 deaths in the Caribbean and then weakening to a tropical storm in Mexico, Beryl is now projected to intensify as it moves toward the United States. Texas officials have issued pre-emptive disaster declarations and are warning residents to prepare for heavy rains, strong winds, and potentially life-threatening storm surges.
Cities along the Texas coast are taking precautionary measures, with some issuing voluntary evacuations and distributing sandbags to residents. As the storm approaches, officials are urging tourists and residents to stay informed and stay safe.
Despite the destruction caused by Beryl in other regions, residents of Tulum are breathing a sigh of relief after the storm passed through without causing any casualties. However, the aftermath of the storm has left many areas without power, and clean-up efforts are underway.
As hurricane season continues, it is crucial for coastal communities to remain vigilant and be prepared for any potential threats. Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops.
