    Very very fortunately, a variety of factors meant
    that the thing could not regain hurricane strength
    However that does not mean it's harmless. Expect
    significant coastal and inland flooding plus damage
    to infrastructure, esp electric. Beryl is still a
    LARGE/WIDE storm, so its effects will be widespread.

    Tornadoes are likely to the northeast, maybe all
    the way up into the Ohio area.

    This is the second storm within two weeks to
    afflict Texas. The static pressure dome over
    the southwest steers storms into TX and LA.
    This seems to be a semi-permanent summer weather
    feature now. El-Nino is kinda VANISHED, appeared
    for just a few months, it's all la-Nina pattern
    for the next X years/decades. This means the
    deadly heat dome every year AND the steering
    currents towards the Gulf coast.

    On the "plus", fewer storms to the east coast.
