    Four deaths confirmed from severe storm that ravaged Houston

    Much of downtown Houston and its commercial district were littered with fallen power lines and glass from shattered windows following the storm, with traffic and street lights knocked out across the city, the mayor, John Whitmire said in an interview on local television station KRIV. Speaking from the city's emergency operations center, Whitmire said the thunderstorm raked the Gulf Coast city in southeast Texas, the state's most populous urban center, with winds howling at 80-100 miles per hour (129-161 kph). He urged members of the public to stay indoors and to especially avoid the heavily hit downtown area, which he said was left darkened and strewn with broken glass.
