The Harris County Fire Marshal s Office tweeted that it was investigating the source of the leak while monitoring air quality.
In their latest updates on the horrible winter weather still lingering over much of Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo both said that while we should celebrate the fact that most Texans and 99.5 percent of all local CenterPoint Energy customers will go to bed with electricity buzzing in their homes Thursday night, those gains don’t mean this crisis is over just yet.
“You need to know there will be more cold temperatures in various regions across the state of Texas tonight… we still have to deal with the uncertainty of what is going on in the power generation facilities,” Abbott said.
