HOUSTON, Texas — The remnants of Beryl have traveled north and we're seeing the impacts here in Toledo.
There was heavy rain on and off Wednesday morning, as well as flooding and downed trees reported in some areas of Toledo.
It's still not nearly as bad as what we have seen in Texas where the storm first made landfall. Thousands of people were without power and several people died after the hurricane hit Texas early Monday morning.
We now know that a group of volunteers from northwest Ohio and the Greater Toledo area have been stationed across Texas helping with the relief effort.
Red Cross Volunteer Laura Mattimoe, from the Greater Toledo area, said she is currently at the Red Cross Disaster headquarters in San Antonio, Texas acting as the manager for disaster relief shelter services.
"During the actual storm, we opened evacuation centers. It gave everyone a safe place to go while the storm passed over," said Mattimoe. "So now, I think there's still rain happening in parts of Texas. There's still some rain and flooding and, of course, as the rain runs toward the Gulf, the flooding might get worse along the coast. So, we're keeping an eye on that."
Mattimoe told WTOL that Sunday night when Hurricane Beryl headed towards them, they were able to place 125 people within 7 emergency shelters. She said they have 400 trained volunteers from all over the country in Texas, currently.
With their mobile shelters, mobile feeding vans, resources, and sponsors their goal is to feed and house anyone in need.
"There are different groups going out doing damage assessment, figuring out where the power is out, where the trees are down, where roads are blocked, what houses have unfortunately been damaged," explained Mattimoe.
Volunteers are still greatly needed. To find ways to help or donate, click HERE.
