What We Know About the Victims of Hurricane Beryl, Which Has Killed At Least 14 People

At least 14 people have reportedly died, including two people in Texas, as Hurricane Beryl makes landfall in the United States after hitting parts of the Caribbean and Mexico.

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said two people have died in Texas after the Category 1 hurricane slammed into the state on Monday, July 8, nearly one week after the storm was at its strongest.

The first victim, a 53-year-old man, died in Humble after a tree fell onto the roof of the home where he was sheltering with family, leaving him “trapped under debris,” Gonzalez said.

The man was apparently sitting on a couch inside the home when the tree came down and struck him, according to NBC affiliate KPRC. The victim’s children — described by KPRC as a 16-year-old and a baby — were “unharmed,” Gonzalez said.

A second victim, identified by Gonzalez as a 74-year-old woman, died in Houston after another tree fell on a home within the 17400 block of Rustic Canyon Trail. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Texas victims’ names have not been publicly released.

Additionally, 12 people in the Caribbean were killed during the storm, which once reached Category 5 status, according to the Associated Press.

Three people died in Jamaica, according to Caribbean National Weekly. The outlet reported that an 80-year-old man was struck by a collapsing wall; a 26-year-old was swept away by floodwaters while playing football with friends and an unidentified woman was inside a home in Hanover when a tree fell on the building.

More deaths were confirmed in other countries along Beryl's path, with the AP reporting that three people were killed in Grenada, three in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and three in Venezuela.

Beryl was downgraded to a tropical storm after making landfall in the U.S. in the early hours of July 8, according to the AP. The National Hurricane Center said high winds, flash flooding and significant storm surge are still concerns for those still in Beryl’s path.

Severe thunderstorms are expected in eastern Texas, the western Louisiana coast and up through the ArkLaTex region throughout Monday, according to the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.
