Texas Power Outages: See the Latest CenterPoint Update

HOUSTON — Severe storms have knocked out power to customers in the Houston area.

If thunderstorms are in the forecast, make sure your phone and other devices are charged in advance. Portable chargers are also available at a wide range of prices and can be very useful in the event of an extended outage.

If you use a generator, make sure you do not use it indoors, as it can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
