Video shows Hurricane Beryl passes over Houston

A video from a Houston suburb shows Hurricane Beryl making landfall in Sugar Land, Texas as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday.

In the video, trees are seen blowing in one direction, and the extreme winds form waves in the canal. Heavy rainfall makes it hard to see far ahead.

As of Monday morning, over 1.5 million outages were reported in Texas as the hurricane barrels through the state with 75 mph winds and 5 to 15 inches of rainfall.

The video was taken at a Sugarland residence 25 miles southwest of Houston. The home sits on a manmade canal system in Chelsea Harbor, a Sugar Land Neighborhood.

Heavy rainfall, flash floods and urban flooding are expected to impact the eastern part of the state, according to the National Hurricane Center .

As of 9 a.m. local time, Beryl was 20 miles west of Houston and moving north at 12 mph.

The storm has sustained winds of 75 mph, and southeast Texas continues to face damaging winds and flooding rain, according to the National Hurricane Center.
