Watch: Thunderstorms Slam Texas, Houston; Hundreds Of Thousands Still Without Power

A devastating storm with hurricane-force winds wreaked havoc in Houston on Thursday, claiming the lives of at least four individuals.

The powerful winds shattered windows in high-rise buildings, leaving parts of downtown Houston and its commercial district strewn with debris.

Mayor John Whitmire, speaking in an interview with local television station KRIV, described the aftermath as chaotic, with fallen power lines and shattered glass lining the streets.

The storm's impact was compounded by widespread power outages, leaving thousands of homes in darkness.

Additionally, the US National Weather Service issued a flood watch for the Houston area due to heavy rains accompanying the storm, further adding to the city's challenges.
