Eyewitness News reported damage from the destructive thunderstorms that pounded southeast Texas Thursday.

Glass was all over the road on Dallas near Louisiana in downtown Houston after intense winds blew out windows in several high-rise buildings.

Strong winds pulled two trees from the ground, nearly missing one man's truck on Vine Street also in downtown.

From knocked-over trees and power lines, drivers are urged to be cautious on the roads.
