 News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Keith Peters reporting. Hurricane Beryl has slammed into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula near the resort town of Tulum after leaving a trail of destruction and at least 11 dead across the Caribbean. It's now turning its sights upon the Texas Gulf Coast. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick tells KVUE-TV people should start preparing now for a weather emergency, with Beryl expected to drench the state's Gulf Coast early next week.
