After days of worrying and endless forecasts, Hurricane Beryl slammed into other parts of Texas causing flooding and power outages to at least 3 million in the state, but the eye passed just to the east of Fayette County, mostly sparing us any effects. The storm did dump about two inches in some eastern parts of the county (and none in western Fayette). There was some strong winds Monday, enough, apparently to knock the above decorative longhorn down along the Warrenton highway, but not much else.
