As Hurricane Beryl makes 'explosive start' to hurricane season, these disaster-recovery stocks are in the spotlight
July 9, 2024--Hurricane Beryl, which made landfall on the Texas coast Monday, is the first hurricane of what is expected to be an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season
After making landfall as a Category 1 hurricane on the Texas coast Monday, Beryl has pummeled the Lone Star State, knocking out power for millions and leaving destruction in its wake.
Beryl, which weakened into a tropical depression Monday, was blamed for the deaths of several people in Texas and at least one person in Louisiana, the Associated Press reported, citing officials.
The first hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Beryl strengthened to a Category 5 storm unusually early in the year, fueled in part by exceptionally high water temperatures, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
