Video: Strong winds knock down roofs of 12 apartments

step.- Strong winds battered the border region, blocking the visibility of guides, leaving hundreds without electricity and destroying at least one roof, leaving families homeless.

The United States’ National Weather Service (NWS) issued a wind and dust warning for Thursday, with reduced visibility.

The NWS advised people affected by the sandstorm to take shelter inside a strong building or go to an interior room or basement.

“If you are driving during these strong winds, be sure to slow down and keep a safe distance from other cars, especially large vehicles and semi-trailers,” the agency said.

A spokesperson for the El Paso Fire Department (EPFD) confirmed that a roof collapsed from an apartment complex in northeast El Paso on Thursday afternoon, affecting 12 units.

Affected people in homes located at 3901 Edgar Park will receive assistance from the Red Cross to find housing, the organization confirmed.

In light of the severe weather and high winds, El Paso Electric reported multiple power outages throughout the border area Thursday night, according to the company’s website. El Paso Electric’s outage map shows thousands of people without power.
