Hurricane Beryl Set to Risk Lives on Gulf Coast Over Holiday
Life-threatening rip currents caused by record-setting Hurricane Beryl are likely to hit the U.S. coast from Texas to Florida this holiday weekend, forecasters warned Thursday.
The hurricane was downgraded to a Category 4 storm early Thursday but has already taken at least nine lives and destroyed hundreds of homes on small Caribbean islands as it barreled through.
Now the National Hurricane Center is warning of hazardous conditions along the Gulf Coast from Friday afternoon.
