Hurricane Beryl set all kinds of records for a hurricane in late June and early July .
Beryl behaved as if it were the peak of the Atlantic season, in September , rather than the beginning of July .
We have never seen an Atlantic storm intensify so rapidly, or so much, this early in the hurricane season .
Beryl knocked out power to about 2.5 million customers across the Houston region, including yours truly.
Even cell phone towers, reduced to batteries or small generators, were often only capable of delivering text and voice services.
Losing a connection to the outside world magnifies one's sense of helplessness.
