Impressive amount of 80+ mph gusts recorded for an 80 mph storm in a semi remote part of the coast. Storm was clearly mixing winds to surface efficiently. As someone said earlier, an intensifying storm at landfall has an edge to it. I’m pretty impressed with the models on this one too. They nailed the last minute intensification. If it hadn’t ingested all that dry air after the Yucatán this would have been a major for Texas. Great tracking storm though and hopefully the damage isn’t too bad. Beryl will go down in history for its vicious impact on the grenadines and Jamaica, its ridiculous strength for June/early July, and tenacity in the Caribbean. Hopefully the US flooding is tempered, seeing some high rainfall totals beginning to show up in the Houston metro. Just a wild storm start to finish. Our ACE is now where it should be in September. I know one storm has little impact on how the season will go but man this feels ominous
