------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hurricane Beryl has made landfall on the Texas coast near Matagorda as a
Category 1 storm. About 200,000 people in Houston have already lost
power. The storm killed at least 11 people as it battered Mexico's

fueled by record temperatures in the Atlantic.
