Thousands of Houston residents are still without power in these scorching temperatures.
Power was restored for a large portion of the Houston area after strong storms blew through Wednesday, but 18,000 residents in north Harris County remain without air conditioning as triple-digit temperatures return.
“We saw winds that were comparable to Category 2 hurricane,” CenterPoint’s director of communications Alyssia Oshodi said. “We are working the larger outages and then moving toward those smaller ones, but very focused on getting everyone on,” Oshodi said. “We know that the extreme heat that we’re dealing with and that’s why we continue to restore as quickly as we can.”
