Recent severe weather in Texas has left a trail of destruction, with half a million people still without power this morning. The state was battered by heavy rain and hurricane-force winds, causing significant damage across various regions.
Tragically, a 16-year-old boy lost his life when a home under construction collapsed just outside of Houston due to the strong winds. Wind gusts exceeding 85 miles per hour have been reported in some areas, leading to the destruction of homes and businesses from West Texas to Houston.
