 AccuWeather says flash flooding in that region and up through northern Texas and into Oklahoma will be a big risk. More than 1,700 flights were canceled yesterday. Beryl has since been downgraded. It's headed next to the lower Mississippi Valley and into the Ohio Valley over the rest of the week. Beryl set records as it churned across the Caribbean with sustained winds of 165 miles per hour and gusts reaching 200, making it the strongest Atlantic hurricane ever to form this early in the season.
