 Breaking news this hour from townhall.com. I'm Ron Taylor. Beryl is hurtling across the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico on a collision course with Texas. It's currently a tropical storm, but it's forecast to regain hurricane status before nearing the coast and making landfall. A hurricane warning has been declared for a large stretch of the state's coastline from near Corpus Christi to an area south of Houston. National Hurricane Center Specialist Eric Blake says as of yesterday, the weather should be going downhill.
