Township of Bald Knob Hurricane Beryl Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, Property Damage, Utility Failure, and Insurance Bad Faith Attorneys: The Definitive Guide for Survivors and Families We understand that for the families and business owners in the Township of Bald Knob, the arrival of Hurricane Beryl’s remnants on July 9, 2024, brought a level of destruction and anxiety that few expected when the storm first made landfall on the Texas coast. While the national news focused on the Matagorda County landfall and the catastrophic power grid failure in Houston, we know that the Township of Bald Knob and greater White County faced its own severe trial.
