Hurricane Beryl is swirling through Texas, causing at least one publication, Hearst’s Beaumont Enterprise, to suspend print publication on Tuesday.  

“Due to the impact of Hurricane Beryl, we want to prioritize the safety of our carriers and employees,” the Enterprise said. “Therefore, the Tuesday 7/9/2024 edition will be available in digital format only.”

The Enterprise reports that Beryl is continuing to move through Southeast Texas, causing widespread flooding.  

Millions of Texans are without power, particularly in the Houston area, although service has been restored for some, according to AP.  

Residents are frustrated by the fact that “Houston appeared to buckle under a storm less powerful than previous ones,” AP writes.  The discomfort level is aggravated by intense head. 

The Enterprise describes itself as a Hearst-owned media company that has served southeast Texas since 1880.
