After leaving the Caribbean, Hurricane Beryl struck the Lone Star State. Our volunteers are cleaning up fallen trees, tarping roofs, and sharing the love of Jesus Christ in Texas.
UPDATE: July 12
As our international hurricane response continues in devastated Caribbean communities, U.S. Disaster Relief volunteers are getting to work in Brazoria County this week in southeast Texas where Hurricane Beryl toppled large trees and dumped nearly a foot of rain. Our teams are cleaning up debris, cutting up trees, patching damaged roofs, and mudding out homes.
Hurricane Beryl toppled massive trees in Texas, tearing up roofs and homes.
Teams began work Thursday, July 11, to help residents in Jesus’ Name as they continue to pick up the pieces of their lives. Volunteers are working out of our base of operations at Life Foursquare Church, 501 Karankawa Street in Angleton, Texas.
Beryl knocked massive trees like this onto roofs, yards, and streets. Our chainsaw teams are removing the fallen timbers.
Hurricane Beryl Packed 80 plus mph winds and 90 mph gusts July 8, roaring ashore in southeast Texas as a Category 1 storm on day eight of its destructive journey. Winds toppled massive trees, crushing homes. At least nine residents were killed. Nearly 3 million Texans were days without power.
We deployed U.S. Disaster Relief Unit #4 in the following days–a tractor trailer filled with relief supplies and equipment–to the town of Angleton, along with additional support vehicles and equipment.
Volunteers are also sharing the love of Jesus with hurting Texans.
Please pray for all those who have been affected by the storm. Samaritan’s Purse continues to respond in multiple U.S. communities including flooded areas of Minnesota and Iowa, tornado damaged parts of Arkansas and Florida, and wildfire ravaged communities in Ruidoso, New Mexico.
Also, please continue to pray for the many suffering Caribbean communities we are serving across four island nations from Grenada to Jamaica.
Our teams are serving southeast Texas in Jesus’ Name.
