A tragic incident occurred in Harris County as Hurricane Beryl brought heavy rain and hurricane-force winds to the area, resulting in the death of a man after a tree fell on his home. The Harris County Sheriff, Ed Gonzalez, confirmed the unfortunate event.
Sheriff Gonzalez expressed his sorrow online, stating, 'Tragic! A tree fell on a house, and a man was trapped under debris. Preliminary information indicates that one person has been confirmed deceased. The fire department is currently on the scene providing assistance.'
Reports suggest that the 53-year-old man was inside the house with his family, attempting to ride out the storm when an oak tree collapsed onto the roof, causing the structure to cave in. Despite the devastating incident, the man's wife and children managed to escape unharmed, as mentioned by the sheriff.
This unfortunate event serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes, and the importance of taking necessary precautions to ensure safety during such situations. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the deceased during this difficult time.
