Houston continues to recover after dangerous storms with extremely high winds swept through the area on SCA CommunityThursday leaving broken glass on streets, windows blown out, power lines down, trees on homes and families mourning after at least four people were reported dead.

Houston is in "recovery mode," Mayor John Whitmire said Thursday evening during a news conference.

"Downtown is a mess. It's dangerous due to the glass and the lack of traffic lights," according to Whitmire. "So stay at home. I can't emphasize that, repeat that enough."

Of the four people who died, two of them were killed by falling trees, and another died in a crane accident, Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña said during the news conference. It is unclear how the fourth person died during the storms.

"If you like rain and storms the next 2 days are for you," the National Weather Service in Birmingham posted Friday morning on X.
