 Hurricane Beryl has made landfall in the U.S. state of Texas as a Category 1 storm. It reached the Gulf Coast near Matagorda with sustained winds of 130 kilometers per hour. It's expected to weaken quickly, but heavy rainfall, storm surges and gusty winds will continue across eastern Texas. Some ports have paused operations because of the storm.
