Recent severe weather in Houston has left a trail of destruction, resembling a war zone in some areas. The downtown area has been significantly impacted, with reports of blown-out windows in office buildings and hotels. The National Weather Service has confirmed that the damage was caused by 100 mile per hour straight-line wind gusts.
Efforts are underway to board up windows and secure buildings as quickly as possible, as intermittent rain continues to pose a challenge. Tragically, four individuals lost their lives during the storm, including a victim who was inside a truck when a crane collapsed due to the strong winds.
