Radar update 8:31 PM. Even though the severe storm appears weaker, lightning has been detected over 70 miles away (Polk County)! This is a great example of whenever you see lightning, go indoors. We continue to monitor this storm as it edges closer to Houston County. #txwx pic.twitter.com/hs13QCPvUc

I added 4 more counties to the state’s disaster declaration as Texans recover from recent severe storms. Texas continues to deploy all resources needed to help communities move forward. I thank the hundreds of emergency response personnel working 24/7 to help Texans. pic.twitter.com/kXGEquEvv7
