At Least 7 Killed In Houston Storm, Including 2 Children

Houston, Texas – At least 7 people, including an infant, are now confirmed dead after severe storms tore through the Houston area Thursday night. The storms brought heavy rain, hail, and tornadoes, causing widespread damage and leaving thousands without power.

The National Weather Service confirmed that at least one tornado touched down in the Houston area, with winds reaching up to 110 mph. The tornado caused significant damage to homes and businesses, and downed trees and power lines.

In addition to the tornado, the storms also brought heavy rain and hail. The rain caused flooding in many areas, and the hail damaged cars and homes.

The storm system moved out of the Houston area by Friday morning, but the damage it left behind is still being assessed. The death toll is expected to rise as search and rescue crews continue to work through the debris.

Governor Greg Abbott has declared a state of disaster for the affected areas, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has sent teams to help with the response.

The storms are a reminder of the importance of being prepared for severe weather. Residents should have an emergency plan in place and be prepared to take shelter if a storm warning is issued.
