Over half a million power outages have been reported in Texas Wednesday as a series of severe storms swept through the state over Memorial Day weekend and continued into this week.
More storms hit Texas and the Southern Plains Tuesday, the latest outbreak of severe weather in the central U.S. that killed at least 22 people over the weekend.
At least one storm-related death was reported in Texas on Tuesday, after two homes under construction collapsed under the force of hazardous winds and rain.
Dallas County officials issued a disaster declaration Tuesday. Judge Clay Jenkins posted on X that the storms will likely result in "a multi day power outage for a significant number" of utility customers in the region.
Here's where power outages have been reported in Texas.
