The city of Houston on Saturday opened new distribution centers to give out water as around 500,000 customers remained without power following severe storms blamed in the deaths of seven people in the region. Houston was forecast to reach a high of 90 degrees Saturday as the city and Harris County recovers from tornadoes and 100 mph straight-line winds that struck with little warning on Thursday.
Three schools were damaged, one that had a tree fall into a classroom, another that had around 12 windows shattered, and one that had a wall collapse in a classroom, Houston Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles said Saturday. Miles called the relatively few buildings damaged district-wide “a blessing.” A decision will be made Sunday whether there would be school Monday, and a lot will depend on the electricity situation, he said.
