Thousands of people lose power as alarming Halloween weather strikes Houston
On Wednesday, the Houston area struggled to celebrate Halloween in the midst of obstacles such as thunderstorms, traffic jams, power outages, high water rescues and tornadoes.
After hours spent asking candy seekers to stay indoors because of the stormy weather, Houston police chief Art Acevedo tweeted around 6:30 pm. that rain has fallen enough for a sugar rush safely.
But the reprieve was temporary. The rain and wind gusts rose again around 20:30. The National Weather Service quickly triggered another tornado warning in northwestern Harris County. At approximately 9:30 pm, CenterPoint Energy announced its first round of power outages, later stating that 71,000 customers had lost power.
Earlier in the afternoon, at least two separate tornadoes reportedly hit the Houston area, including one near Eagle Lake. At 1544, the NWS reported that the "confirmed tornado was located near Sealy, moving northeast at 20 mph".
It was unclear how much damage, if any, resulted from the tornado.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office tweeted that they had received several reports of another hit by a tornado on Agnes Road. Members found no damage or injury.
Houston Fire Services tweeted that they were responding to several weather-related calls for rising water and flooding.
"FD responds to several calls related to weather conditions," tweeted the fire department. "We are responding to calls for flooding and flooding, and are actively working on a quick maritime rescue call to Milby and Polk."
Tornado warnings and warnings in southeastern Texas were to remain in effect until 10 pm Wednesday. The National Meteorological Service also issued a Flood Notice until 18:30.
DOUBLE RAIN RELIEF: Houston Room Tours to Avoid Being Wet
The shock of the storm was to take place between 16:00 and 16:00. and 10 hours, according to meteorologists. A cold front should cross the area around 6 pm, bringing the strongest storms along the south side of the front.
The National Meteorological Service warns that rain could cause road ponds and flood cars in low areas. The creeks and bayous could increase rapidly, but they should not go beyond their shores.
The National Weather Service in Houston has warned that severe storms could cause tornadoes, high winds, heavy hail and heavy rainfall locally.
The highs were forecast at 75 degrees Wednesday, with minimums reaching 59 degrees. The maximum temperatures will fall to the highest Thursday.
