A time lapse video recorded in Surfside Beach, Texas, shows the approach of Hurricane Beryl and the storm surge flooding that followed.
SURFSIDE BEACH, Texas – Deadly Hurricane Beryl made landfall along the Texas coast on Monday as a Category 1 hurricane that caused widespread damage and knocked out power to approximately 2.7 million utility customers. Time lapse video recorded in the hard-hit community of Surfside Beach showed the calm before the storm and the rush of water inland due to storm surge flooding.
The video starts with blue skies and some clouds in the area as Hurricane Beryl continues its approach to Texas. However, rain bands and wind associated with the hurricane continue to push into the area, and the sky quickly became overcast.

The sun then sets and only lights from buildings can be seen before the hurricane gets more intense and plunges the area within the camera’s view into darkness.
White specks can then be seen rising in the foreground, which is debris getting caught in a fence as the storm surge flooding begins.
When the sun rises, the water then starts to recede slowly.
