Severe weather continues to impact Texas, with multiple tornadoes and storms causing significant disruptions. On Thursday, two tornadoes were confirmed near Midland Airport, leading to a tornado emergency in Midland County. As a result, over 243,000 people were left without power, with the number rising to about 300,000 by Friday morning, mostly in East Texas and around Houston. The National Weather Service has warned of more heavy rain and high winds. Restoration efforts have been hampered by ongoing storms, leaving 124,000 people in North Texas and thousands in McLennan County still without power. The severe weather has also caused costly electrical damage in Houston, with some residents still in the dark weeks after the initial storms. Nonprofits in North Texas have also been affected, struggling to serve those in need amid the power outages. The storms began Tuesday morning and continued three days later, exacerbating the situation in Midland, TX.
