Thousands without power in Texas: A powerful winter storm swept through Texas overnight, leaving thousands without electricity as freezing rain and heavy winds battered power lines. Utility crews are working around the clock to restore service, but officials warn it could take days before all customers are back online. The hardest-hit areas include North Texas and parts of Central Texas, where icy roads have also caused vehicle accidents and school closures. Residents are being urged to conserve heat and check on elderly neighbors as dangerously low temperatures continue through the weekend.
