Tropical Storm Beryl is tearing across Texas after making landfall in the state as a Category 1 hurricane Monday morning.
At least six people have been killed by fallen trees or by drowning and more than 2 million customers are without power across Texas due to torrential rain and powerful winds.
Hurricane Beryl first killed at least seven people in the Windward Islands before skirting south of Jamaica, shutting down communications, stranding tourists and delivering storm surge and flooding rain to the island.Officials confirm 3 more fatalities, raising death toll to 6 in Texas
The death toll in Texas from tropical storm Beryl has risen from three known fatalities to at least six, officials confirmed Monday evening.
Three people were killed in Montgomery County due to falling trees from the storm, according to Chief of Staff for Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough.
One man riding a tractor on a public roadway was killed when a tree fell on him and a couple was killed in a wooded area when a tree fell on them, according to Keough.
The three previously confirmed deaths included two from falling trees and one from drowning.
An upended tree rests on Bethel Church after Hurricane Beryl moved through the area, July 8, 2024, in Van Vleck, Texas.
As of Monday evening, Beryl was designated as a "tropical depression" by officials, due to its sustained winds of 35 mph.
Beryl is moving northeast at 16 mph, continuing to gain speed as it weakens.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said at a Monday press briefing that 2.7 million people across the state are still without power and 10 transmission lines are down.
It will take "several days" to restore power, Patrick said, and the priority will be first restoring it in hospitals, nursing homes and the homes of people that depend on respirators or medical devices with failed generators.
Officials urged members of the public to stay inside and not drive.
Three people have been confirmed dead, two from falling trees and one from drowning.
