Houston, TX, USA - May 18, 2024

The death toll from destructive storms battering Houston on Thursday night has risen to at least seven, the Harris County Sheriff's Office confirmed on Friday evening.

An EF-1 tornado was confirmed near Cypress in the northwest of the fourth largest U.S. city with 100 mph (160 kmph) straight-line winds and tore over the downtown, causing widespread damage, the U.S. National Weather Service said on Friday.

In east Houston, a 60-year-old man who lost power in the storm went out to his truck to plug in his oxygen tank. He was found dead on Friday morning, said Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez on social media. The county includes most of Houston.
