You never know when we'll face another major weather threat. As Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Matagorda County last July, residents braced for powerful winds and widespread disruptions. This year locals are drawing on past storm experiences as they stay prepared this hurricane season. PKG “We’ve been through hurricanes, tornadoes, high winds, and floods—this is just something else.
Wow. Here comes the wind from the other direction.
Beryl will bring its hurricane-force winds, which we’re expecting here in Bay City.
Here in Bay City, the lights just flickered. Actually, the internet service just went out here at the hotels. Beryl is now making landfall.
Today, we have half as many as usual because of the hurricane coming, and there’s going to be a severe traffic jam. But we have patience, and we believe in prayers.
The yardstick for us, I guess, is Harvey.
This year, the Fourth of July is a lot slower than previous years, because right now we’d usually be getting slammed with customers.
Yes, that’s why we’re leaving a little earlier than planned.
We did not lose any vessels. Some were damaged, but we did not lose any vessels.”
