Following a series of severe storms that swept through southeast Texas, nearly 400,000 homes and businesses are currently without power. The city of Houston reported significant power outages, resulting in the release of over 100,000 gallons of sanitary sewage. Despite this, officials have assured residents that the city's drinking water remains safe.
Tragically, at least seven individuals lost their lives in the Houston area due to the storm's impact. As authorities work diligently to restore power amidst rising temperatures and humidity, millions in the Central Plains are now facing a severe weather threat.
