Hurricane Beryl Slams into Texas Coast as a Category 1 Hurricane | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Hurricane Beryl slammed into the Texas coast today and made landfall in the town of Matagorda at 4am local time, as a category 1 hurricane with sustained winds at 90 miles-per-hour. The storm has claimed 2 lives in Texas and another 2.5 million homes are without power. Beryl was downgraded to a tropical storm as it moved inland but serious flooding, storm surge and tornadoes remain a threat. The president and CEO of Catholic Charities of Houston and Galveston, the hardest hit region by Beryl, Cynthia Colbert, joins to share how she is holding up during this storm and what they are experiencing. Colbert tells us what the immediate needs are for those impacted by the storm and how Catholic Charities is providing them. She explains what goes into helping these folks recover from a storm like this, once the relief portion of the storm ends. Colbert fills us in on what people should do if they want to help in relief efforts. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
