Severe Storms Leave Four Dead, Over 900,000 Without Power in Texas

Recent storms in the Houston area have caused significant damage and loss of life. As of Saturday morning, over 500,000 homes remain without electricity, with warm weather posing health risks to residents still recovering from the disaster. The National Weather Service has warned against overexertion during cleanup efforts due to a smog warning and scorching temperatures. Heavy rainfall is also possible in eastern and central Louisiana.

The recent severe weather event in Texas and Louisiana resulted in at least four fatalities. The storms brought hurricane-force winds and torrential rains, causing widespread destruction and power outages. In Houston, streets were flooded, and trees and power lines were downed. A crane was toppled by strong winds, killing one person, while two others died due to fallen trees. Additionally, violent storms blew out skyscraper windows, partially collapsed a nightclub, and ripped apart buildings in the city. Overall, nearly 900,000 homes lost power, and many areas of downtown Houston were left littered with debris from shattered windows and downed power lines.
