After the storms passed, CenterPoint Energy confirmed to ABC13 that its downtown building and system had been damaged as a result Thursday. "As the line of severe weather has made its way through our region, it is now safe for our crews to begin assessing damage but can confirm we've experienced significant damage to our system," the power giant wrote in a statement.

At the time, CenterPoint said restoration efforts had already begun and would ramp up Friday morning.Some Houston residents told ABC News correspondent Mireya Villarreal that the winds sounded like a freight train coming through.As of Friday at 8 a.m., more than 728,000 customers were without power. Just over 93,000 customers had electricity stored within the past 24 hours.

Outages literally span all over: from downtown Houston to Spring Branch, the east side, including Channelview and Baytown, north around the Cypress area and west, including Katy.Whitmire warned that the outages are also affecting traffic lights. Power poles are down, and some of them are snapped in half.
