Hurricane Nicholas had reached hurricane strength before weakening into a tropical storm. It brought the threat of widespread floods and power outages in the next few days as it swept down the U.S. Gulf Coast. It also knocked out power in many places. Early on Tuesday, more than 92,000 customers in Louisiana and 530,000 in Texas had lost power, according to a Reuters tally. In Houston area alone, more than 454,000 customers faced outages, utility CenterPoint Energy (CNP.N) said.
