Severe storms have caused extensive damage in Houston, leading to power outages that could potentially last for weeks in certain areas, according to county officials. The aftermath of the storms has left many residents without electricity, posing significant challenges for both individuals and local authorities.

The impact of the power outages is expected to be particularly severe in parts of Houston where the damage was most extensive. Residents in these areas are advised to prepare for an extended period without electricity and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being.

Local authorities are working diligently to assess the extent of the damage and to prioritize restoration efforts in the most affected areas. However, the scale of the destruction caused by the storms may prolong the restoration process, making it a challenging task for utility crews and emergency responders.
