The flooding and damage in Houston came just weeks after the area was walloped by a weather event known as a derecho.
A split tree lays on a vehicle outside an Equinox gym Tuesday, May 28, 2024, in Dallas. Power outages remained widespread in storm-weary Texas after another burst of severe weather flooded streets, uprooted trees and ripped off roofs. Authorities said a teenager was killed at a construction site while working on a home that collapsed.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell was scheduled to travel Wednesday to, where seven people died in the weekend storms, as the Biden administration continues assessing tornado damage. The city opened respite centers, where residents could seek shelter and air conditioning after winds gusting to 80 mph caused extensive damage to homes. Local news footage showed several homes without roofs, with some of that damaged caused by trees ripped from the ground by the winds. City crews planned to work around the clock this week to clear downed trees, a notice on the city’s website said.
“Our maintenance team is currently conducting thorough inspections and will make any needed repairs,” the statement said.
