Hurricane Beryl, as seen through Internet Outages

Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Texas around 2024-07-08 at 3:17am local time (CDT) (8:17 UTC). We see a fair number of Internet outages in the Huston area, presumably as people lost power due to flooding.

Compared to our view of Hurricane Harvey in 2017 in our blog and web, Beryl looks much less severe–we see fewer areas where most Internet acccess is out (as shown by red circles).

Our most recent data, about 10 hours after landfall (1:33pm local time, or 2024-07-08t18:33Z):

Just before landfall, at 3:17am local time (2024-07-08t08:17Z):

We wish the best for Texas, and for the residents of the Caribbean who experienced Beryl last week.

For current status, please see our near-real-time outage site. Data about this outage will be released at the end of the quarter.
