Severe storms wreak havoc on Houston, uprooting trees and causing damage.

Severe storms caused widespread damage in Spring and The Woodlands, with dozens of trees uprooted due to root rot caused by cycles of floods and droughts. ArborTrue owner Brad Phillips recommends having a certified arborist inspect your property annually to understand the risks and to keep an eye out for mushrooms growing on the base of trees. Power lines are still down in some places, and CenterPoint reported customers without power would likely remain without power overnight as crews continued damage assessments. Homeowners are advised to protect their personal safety during storms.
