Over One Million Customers Left Without Power in Texas Amid Destructive Storms

Over a million customers in Texas were left without power due to severe thunderstorms and hurricane-force winds. The storms affected multiple regions, with Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport recording a wind gust of 75 mph. Dallas County was particularly hard hit, with over 300,000 customers lacking electricity. In response, Texas County Judge Clay Jenkins declared a disaster area and noted that nursing homes were using generators to maintain power.
