Trinity begins cleanup of damage left behind by Beryl

TRINITY, Texas (KTRE) - First responders in Trinity County were cleaning up after Beryl’s winds and rain blew through on Monday.

“Just stay home unless you have to be out,” said Trinity Fire Asst. Chief Keith Johnson.

Since noon, first responders in Trinity County have been responding to dozens of calls related to storm damage.

Officials will closely watch roads like FM 356 in case of flooding.

“If it falls over a lengthy period of time we’re okay, but if it falls in a couple of hours, we’ll have major street flooding, so right now we’re hoping we don’t get that,” said Johnson.

Trinity Fire Department responded to downed power lines on Kelly Street and removed trees from roadways across the city.

Johnson said as strong winds continue, “old trees that are rotten, limbs coming out of the top of them, we’re having some issues with that.”

While on the road, Johnson received two calls of trees on homes.

Multiple power outages on the north side of town and at the Harbor Point subdivision also caused problems.
