'Madness': Hurricane Beryl ravages Texas

    A citywide curfew and flash flood warning were in effect for Bay City for the evening of Sunday, July 7, and the morning of Monday, July 8, as Hurricane Beryl moved through Texas.

    Footage filmed by Chad Casey shows strong winds and rain battering Bay City in the early hours of Monday. Casey described the weather conditions as “insane.”

    Bay City Mayor Robert Nelson announced a curfew effective Sunday at 11 p.m., while the nearby city of Palacios had a curfew in effect from 9 p.m.

    The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for the area, which is in effect until early Monday morning.
