Beryl Power Outages in Houston: Before and After from Space

NOAA released an animation of the view of Houston from a satellite on June 9 and July 9.

HOUSTON — What did the Houston area look like before and after Hurricane Beryl? On Monday, we got a look from space.

NOAA satellites have released before and after images from the NOAA-21 satellite. One image is from June 9. The other is from July 9. Beryl made landfall early in the morning of July 8 near Matagorda, Texas, so the images show a before and after.

From there it expanded to the Houston area.

Photos show how different the Houston area looked from space after power was knocked out to millions of customers by the Category 1 storm as it tore through Houston.

At the height of the storm, more than 2.5 million customers were without power. Nearly 2.3 million of them were CenterPoint customers.
