Thousands left without power as intense winds moved through Houston

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A powerful windstorm that pushed through the Houston area left more than 50,000 customers without power Tuesday afternoon.

By Wednesday morning, that number was down to just under 4,000, according to CenterPoint's map.

The area was under a wind advisory Tuesday afternoon that has since expired due to the intensity of the gusts.

Other parts of the state also saw damages caused by powerful winds. In north Texas, in Lewisville, several moving trucks were toppled by the winds.

In central Texas, near Waco, crews worked to clear downed power lines after they were toppled across the roadway. Oncor said at the time it was looking at the damage and would continue to restore power to customers.
