So there was this front that came in from the west last night that was sort of a whole hurricane compacted into a few hours. Northside down to The Heights and Downtown seemed to get the worst. A million people lost power, now down to 600K, but those folks might not get it back for a week or more. Saw some video of fallen high tension lines and towers in Cypress where it looked like Godzilla had come through.
