Intro I'M SHANNON MURRAY AND I'M HANNAH BATTAH. THANK YOU FOR WAKING UP WITH US. HURRICANE BERYL MADE LANDFALL MINUTES AGO ALONG THE TEXAS COAST. IT'S A CATEGORY ONE STORM WITH 80 MILE AN HOUR WIND SPEEDS. FOX WEATHER landfall METEOROLOGIST BRITTA MERWIN IS IN SURFSIDE BEACH, 65 MILES SOUTH OF HOUSTON. REPORT. WE'VE ALREADY CLOCKED WINDS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S, AND WHEN YOU HAVE A WIN LIKE THAT, DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN, IT ALMOST TURNS THE RAINDROPS INTO NEEDLES AND IT GOES AGAINST THE BACKS OF YOUR LEGS. SO EVEN WITH TWO PAIR OF RAIN PANTS, NOT ONLY AM I SOAKED BECAUSE IT PUSHES IT THROUGH THE FIBERS QUITE LITERALLY, BUT ALSO IT FEELS LIKE A BEE STING OR LIKE YOU'RE GETTING A TATTOO THAT'S CONSTANT. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT RIGHT NOW I'M ACTUALLY OKAY STANDING. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE WIND PICKS UP WHERE I HAVE TO BRACE MYSELF A LITTLE MORE, AND THAT'S VERY INDICATIVE OF WHAT WE SEE IN A LANDFALLING. YOU KNOW, SETUP, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK ABOUT LANDFALL AS THAT PIVOTAL MOMENT OF THE CENTER OF THE STORM REACHING LAND. BUT I LIKE TO THINK ABOUT LANDFALL AS A CRESCENDO TO THAT POINT. AND THEN A DECRESCENDO OUT OF IT. IT IS A JOURNEY. IT'S A MARATHON, AND IT'S NOT A SPRINT. AND EVERYTHING THAT LEADS YOU UP TO outro THAT LANDFALL AND EVERYTHING THAT LEADS YOU OUT OF IT, TO ME, IS PART OF THE PROCESS. NOW, WE'VE SEEN POWER OUTAGES STEADILY RISE THIS MORNING FROM
