Areas of Texas are still experiencing power disruptions in the wake of Hurricane Beryl, which made landfall more than a week ago. The Category 5 storm had diminished to Category 1 by the time it rolled ashore on July 8, wreaking havoc on the state’s Gulf Coast.

At Houston Hobby Airport (KHOU), FBOs reported moderate to minor damage, with power finally being restored to all of them this week. Million Air—which was running on generators until Monday, eight days after the storm—sustained damage to the roof of its maintenance hangar. Jet Aviation, which also reported it was finally able to switch off the generators on Monday, noted some minor damage, including the collapse of a wall in an unused hangar that will be repaired soon.
