Power returned to thousands of homes and businesses Thursday after a deadly winter storm brought record high temperatures and heavy snowfall to Texas. There are still widespread blackouts for the fourth day in a row, with more than 500,000 residents without power in the state.

At least 25 deaths have been attributed to the storm, 11 of the victims were from Texas.

The storm disrupted the food supply in some areas, causing shortages at some food banks and grocery stores. Nearly a quarter of Texans are on boil water advisories because treatment plants are down.

A second winter storm is moving east today, bringing freezing temperatures and snow across the country.
