 News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Tasha Stevens. Tropical storm Beryl knocked out power to more than 2 million homes and businesses in the Houston area as it swept across the Texas coast. Houston Mayor John Whitmer says flooding remains a major issue. Houstonians, anyone that can hear my voice, shelter in place. Shelter in place. We're in an emergency. We're in a rescue mode. Life safety. We're literally getting calls across Houston right now.
