Winds were gusting to at least 60 miles per hour Thursday afternoon at Houston's Hobby Airport, which reported several flight delays and a handful of cancellations. It wasn't clear if all of those were related to weather.

Some flights were also impacted at Bush Intercontinental Airport Thursday afternoon, according to the website FlightAware.

Elsewhere in Texas, an 11-year-old boy was killed near Tyler in an accident blamed on high winds, KLTV reported. The child was riding a go-kart when a tree fell over and landed on him, authorities said.
