Texas storms again turn deadly
Powerful storms ripped across Texas again Tuesday, leaving behind damage and death. Nearly a million customers across the state were left without power from a line of storms that marched from Dallas to Houston. One person was killed northwest of Houston when winds collapsed homes that were under construction.
This comes just days after a tornado killed seven people, including two children, in North Texas over the Memorial Day weekend. That was the deadliest twister in the state since 2015.
