Tropical Storm Beryl brought howling winds and torrential rain to southeast Texas, killing at least three people, flooding highways, closing oil ports, canceling more than 1,000 flights and knocking out power to more than 2.5 million homes and businesses. Beryl, the season's earliest Category 5 hurricane on record, weakened from a hurricane before pounding the coastal Texas town of Matagorda with dangerous storm surges, heavy rain and then moving across Houston.
