Deaths following the Houston storm |  khou.com

We know that two people were killed by falling trees and a third man was killed by two falling cranes. A woman has been killed in a house fire sparked by lightning. Another man died trying to move a fallen utility pole, and another man died trying to find a place to plug in his oxygen tank.

The last case we were aware of was due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña mentioned this during a news conference Sunday.

We are still waiting to hear details of two of the other deaths.
