Photos:Scenes from a storm

Hurricane Beryl, a Category 1 storm, struck the Texas Gulf Coast near Matagorda in the early-morning hours of July 8, making an unexpected turn toward the great Houston region. Fort Bend County was one of the hardest-hit areas, and like other parts of the region suffered from extended power outages and other issues. The Fort Bend Star has been out and about capturing images of the storm and its aftermath.
