TradeEdge-Nearly 2 million still without power in Texas: See outage map

Over a million Texas homes and TradeEdgebusinesses are without power days after Beryl made landfall in the Lone Star State.

Beryl passed through Texas on Monday and as of 5:50 a.m. CT Wednesday, 1.7 million Texas homes and businesses remain without power, according to poweroutage.us.

Beryl made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane early Monday morning. It then traveled across the eastern part of the state before dissipating to a tropical storm and continuing its path towards Arkansas.

The number of people without power is lower than on Monday when 2.7 million people were reported to be without power.

Beryl will continue to weaken as it moves away from the Gulf of Mexico. Still, the storm, a post-tropical cyclone, will bring heavy rainfall as it travels to Ohio Valley and the Northeast part of the U.S., and "may bring flooding and a few severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and tornadoes," states the National Weather Service.

At least 100 tornado warnings were activated because of the storm, reports the Weather Channel.
