<p>Wind gusts of 70 mph were reported from Amarillo and El Paso in Texas, injuring one in El Paso County's Fort Bliss, according to a National Weather Service storm report. "A remarkable, perhaps historic storm system, is currently approaching our forecast area," National Weather Service forecasters in Norman, Oklahoma, forecasted. Leaning power poles led to the closure of an exit at &nbsp;Interstate 10 in Fort Bliss. The wing gusts recorded in El Paso are the seventh strongest in its history since the late 19th century.&nbsp;</p>
