Beryl, 1st Hurricane of ‘24 Hits Bay City (TX)

As predicted in the last issue of LDC, the tropical storm season is lasting longer and causing more damage. On June 2nd, tropical storm Alberto struck Brownsville, and on July 8 the Texas coast was hit with hurricane Beryl which hit closer to home and demolished my apartment (see photo). 11 people in the Houston area were killed by Beryl, plus 11 in the Caribbean. Millions of people were without electricity for days contributing 9 more deaths from heat stroke.

Beryl, with 165 MPH winds on June 2, was the earliest a Category 5 hurricane formed in the Atlantic in history. As this is being written, rain from Beryl is plaguing Vermont and other eastern states.

Directly tied to last plague # 4 of the Apocalypse (man is scorched by heat), hurricanes waxing worse is further proof that the Apocalypse is here now, versus appearing in the future like the futurists say. Barry Midyet

From the Galveston Daily News: Beryl could make top three for most windstorm claim

By MYRIAN OREA The Daily News (7/23/2024)

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association expects Hurricane Beryl to be the third-largest in its history — after hurricanes Ike and Harvey — in terms of the number of damage claims filed, with almost half the claims coming from Galveston County.

Beryl could also rank close to larger hurricanes in terms of expense and how widespread damage was, Aaron Taylor, senior legislative and external affairs specialist for the association, said.

[Editor: Hurricane Beryl took out my apartment in Matagorda County, so I can testify to the strength of Beryl. The winds that destroyed my home had to be at least Category 2, or maybe Cat. 3.]
