HOUSTON — Fast-moving thunderstorms pummeled southeastern Texas on Thursday for the second time this month, killing at least four people, blowing out windows in high-rise buildings, downing trees and knocking out power to nearly 900,000 homes and businesses in the Houston area.

“Stay at home tonight, do not go to work tomorrow, unless you’re an essential worker. Stay home, take care of your children,” Houston Mayor John Whitmire said in an evening briefing. “Our first responders will be working around the clock.” Streets were flooded, and trees and power lines were down across the region. Whitmire said wind speeds reached 100 mph , “with some twisters.”

The storm system moved through swiftly, but flood watches and warnings remained for Houston and areas to the east.
