Our oldest son lives in Katy, which is on the western edge of Harris county, which was where most of the damage was done. We talked to him last night and he said that they still had power at his house, but there were outages as close as a block way. And two of the three restaurants he's responsible for, in the Houston area, were without power. He also said that not far from Katy, the high tension lines had come down including several of the large power-line towers. He said that there were 100 mph winds reported, the strongest ever recorded which were not the result of a hurricane or tornado.

Here's a short video showing some of the damage to the high-tension power lines:

Some in Houston facing no power for weeks after storms cause widespread damage, killing at least 4

Power outages could last weeks in parts of Houston, an official warned Friday, after thunderstorms with hurricane-force winds tore through the city, knocking out electricity to nearly 1 million homes and businesses in the region, blowing out windows on downtown high rises and flipping vehicles.
