Hurricane Beryl makes landfall along Texas coast near Houston
The Texas governor, Greg Abbott, is receiving criticism from some online for posting about a business meeting in South Korea as Texas deals with extreme weather from Hurricane Beryl, the Houston Chronicle reported.
From the Chronicle:
While those on the Texas Gulf Coast awoke to the effects of Hurricane Beryl on Monday morning, Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted about a business meeting he had on his trip through Asia.
“Spent a very productive afternoon in Seoul,” he posted. “Met with @kita_net and business leaders from across South Korea to discuss economic opportunities in Texas to grow and succeed.
“I also met with executives from SK Signet to thank them for their investments in Texas.”
The timing of the post on X, formerly known as Twitter, drew backlash from those in the storm.
