The wider storm
Hurricane Beryl made landfall near Matagorda Texas on the morning of the 8th. The remnants of Beryl quickly tracked northward after landfall, bringing spiral feeder bands of showers and thunderstorms into Arkansas during the afternoon and evening. Overnight on the 8th through the morning of the 9th, the remnants of Beryl tracked northeastward up Interstate 30 and Highway 67/167 through Arkansas. Heavy rainfall led to areas of flash flooding as well as tornadoes on the north and east side of the center of circulation. The system pushed out of Arkansas by mid-day on the 9th.
Began near Pine Grove (33.8661, -92.7981).
