Texas Tornado Damage,Centerpoint Power Poles Down,Midtown Storm Damage

One nearby Midtown business owner, who has power issues of her own to tend to, said CenterPoint was informed about the leaning tower of hazard but nothing had been done about it, as of Friday.

Thursday's thunderstorm sent power poles crashing down across Houston. Still, some people are sounding the alarm about the poles that were only partially displaced.

CenterPoint told reporters it's encouraging people to make them aware of leaning power poles. But Friday afternoon, long after the leaning pole was reported, no one had been by to fix it, and the road hadn't been blocked off. "It's humid. I mean, there's no air movement at all. You've got to think; we're a concrete building, so there's no airflow whatsoever," she said.

"These trees are really tall and really old so once they come down and you get to chopping them up, it seems like it's a million pieces," Swain said.
