Hurricane Beryl’s remnants carve a path toward the Northeast with heavy rain
LA TimesTraffic is directed around a downed power line Tuesday in Houston. The remnants of Hurricane Beryl spawned at least one tornado and threatened flooding Wednesday as the system churned toward Canada and the northeastern U.S. after leaving millions in the Houston area without power. Beryl, which landed in Texas on Monday as a Category 1 hurricane, was a post-tropical cyclone and centered over southeastern Michigan around midday Wednesday with maximum sustained winds of 30 mph, the National Weather Service reported. Parts of northern New York and New England could see heavy rain Wednesday, said Bob Oravec, a weather service forecaster. More than 1.6 million homes and businesses in Texas still lacked electricity late Wednesday morning, down from over 2.7 million on Monday, according to PowerOutage.us.
