Houston city officials confirm four people have died after devastating storms hit the city and surrounding areas

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — Up to four people have died after devastating storms struck Houston and surrounding areas on Thursday, according to Mayor John Whitmire’s office.

City officials said one of the deaths occurred at 610 North Main Street. ABC13’s Shannon Ryan was at the scene when a tree fell over a home.

Eyewitness News is working to gather more information about the victims and the circumstances.

Mayor Whitmire is expected to hold a press conference Thursday evening to discuss further fallout.

Outside the city limits, in Cypress, at least one person is believed to have died in a fire at a mobile home in the 15700 block of Cypress Meadows Drive. However, it is unclear whether the passing storms played a role in this fire.
