Some Houston-area residents could be without power for weeks after Thursday night storms battered the region and left at least four people dead, officials said. CenterPoint Energy, which supplies electricity to the Houston area, said Friday that strong winds caused “significant damage” to its infrastructure in places such as Baytown, Bellaire, Cypress, Greenspoint, Humble and Spring Branch. Some transmission towers were downed in Cypress, which is northwest of Houston. “Some parts of the county, much like Ike, are going to have to go a couple weeks most likely without power,” said Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, referring to Hurricane Ike in 2008. At least four people died from the storms that surged through Houston on Thursday evening, officials said. You can find more the full story at houstonpublicmedia.org #HouNews #HouWeather
