As the cold front moved into Houston, Texas, heavy thunderstorms threatened the city. Unexpected rain, ranging from 1.5 to more than 3 inches, caused about 11,000 residents to be left without power early Saturday morning.
The Houston Chronicle stated that the number of people still without electricity has slowly been reduced and the worst storms have moved on. Roads in rural areas, such as Grimes County, have been closed.
As we near the summer season, more and more storms will begin to form and cause blackouts for many Houston, Texas residents. It is important to go over supplies and check to make sure you are prepared in case of a power outage. Whether it is by purchasing canned food or a standby generator, leaving these important steps until the last minute, could cause you to suffer the negative steps of a power outage for days or even weeks.
