Over One Million Customers Left Without Power in Texas Amid Destructive Storms
ai generated text
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.
Over the weekend, we've had a lot of hot and humid air, a lot of gasoline, a lot of fuel for these storms. And we've had a really strong jet stream as well. That jet stream has been aiding in providing the wind shear necessary for these types of tornadoes.
