Severe storm cuts power to over 800,000 in Texas | VOA News
A severe storm packing hurricane-force winds pummeled Houston Thursday, killing at least four people.
Officials urged residents to keep off roads, as many were impassable and traffic lights were expected to be out for much of the night.
"Stay at home tonight. Do not go to work tomorrow, unless you're an essential worker. Stay home, take care of your children," Houston Mayor John Whitmire said in an evening briefing. "Our first responders will be working around the clock."
The mayor said four people died during the severe weather. At least two of the deaths were caused by falling trees, and another happened when a crane blew over in strong winds, officials said.
