Some areas saw uprooted trees, toppled fences, and even downed transmission lines.

Friday, May 17, 2024 1:17AMA severe storm with damaging winds, prompting tornado alerts, passed through Houston and surrounding areas late Thursday, leaving behind a trail of damage.

"These are the strongest ones, the ones that carry the highest current, and it takes a lot of wind to topple something like this because they're built to withstand high winds," Chief Forecaster David Tillman said during Thursday's coverage update on the downed lines. In that same area, more images showed damage to the Starbucks location across the street from Cy-Springs High School. Down the road from that area, in the Cypress Springs retail plaza, the plaza's sign took on heavy damage, with some parts nearly ripped off.
