Texas officials urge preparation, not panic ahead of Hurricane Beryl

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas officials are urging people to stay prepared — and not panic — ahead of Hurricane Beryl.

In a briefing on Friday afternoon, acting Governor Dan Patrick and Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd said it is too early to tell Beryl’s path and landfall, but people should plan ahead.

Patrick said people vacationing should pay attention to the weather over the next couple of days, and be in place by Monday.

“We’re preparing for the worst but hoping for the least amount of rain,” Patrick said.

Kidd added that they “need a prepared community and not a panicked community.”

Beryl’s exact track will determine how the state is impacted and we’ll still need to wait for the storm to re-emerge into the Gulf before making any real assumptions. However, in this kind of setup, know that rainfall totals will vary widely: little to no rain to the west, with heavy, significant rainfall to the east.

Any small deviation in the track can change this scenario. You can also keep up with the latest information by clicking here.
