 And growing desperation. Hurricane Beryl, now a tropical storm, hits as a Category 1 hurricane along the Texas coast. The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore. Power outages in Houston and Galveston across northeastern Texas as this thing continues to pull on to the north. High heat, an issue in much of the east, and triple-digit temperatures are baking parts of the west. These people uncomfortable in California. Oh my gosh, it's so hot here. I don't really like being here when it's this hot outside.
