Before Beryl threatened the Texas coast on Sunday, the storm tore through and caused destruction across several other countries as it made its way through the Caribbean and toward the Gulf of Mexico.
After forming in the Atlantic Ocean in late June, Beryl ripped through the Caribbean as a Category 4 hurricane before making its way toward Texas. While it has since weakened to a tropical storm, it is expected to regain strength and make landfall in Texas as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday.
The storm has left a trail of destruction starting on July 1. Here’s where Beryl has wreaked havoc so far.
