Before passing almost directly over the Houston region on July 8, when it caused widespread power outages and contributed to dozens of deaths, Hurricane Beryl devastated multiple Caribbean islands and was the earliest Category 5 storm on record in the Atlantic basin.

Storm names are given on a rotating alphabetical basis. Particularly deadly or damaging storms have their name removed from the rotation.
