    “This is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.” He must be new to Houston.

    Rest peacefully to the 4 people who died. We are sad that this happen.
  • “Reminds me of a war zone”… bro, have you even been outside of the montrose area?
  • Yeah man my house was lucky, our lights flickered but never went out. My sister was caught by a tornado and still made it home.. 🤝
  • We were spared in Humble but I was worried there for a minute. It didn't help that it hit pretty much at rush hour. Scary stuff, even for a native Texan.
  • I was in downtown just before it started looking like 9 o clock with daylight still out. I work in downtown, I live in Humble. I take downtown to escape the I10 traffic. The sky darkened, I finally got on 59 from Chenevert st. That’s when all hell broke loose. Luckily my car was heavy. I could barely see out the windshield though. Everybody was driving 20 miles an hour on 59 with hazards on trying to get home to their families. The sky turned different colors as well from power lines being struck. That was wild, that storm goes on my list. I was a little scared but stayed calm. As for the four people in Houston that passed. Prayers to you and your families. May god rest peacefully within you.

    I like how he has to say "Lexus SUV", can't just call it an SUV.
  • As the pole shift continues to gather momentum, expect these types of storms to become normal.
  • All emergency vehicles and working crews are working on Downtown and rich neighborhoods only.
  • I was in spring last year when the storm that brought 90 mile an hour winds hit near bush almost all pine trees were on the streets terrible

    What time did the storm start and how long did it last?
  • @annebartells777
    I am sorry for what you are experiencing. Unfortunately this is going to be the norm. Stop denying climate change. My prayers are with you

    I just saw a video on what would happen if a tornado hit Dallas 2 days ago.

    100 mph wind blowing out skyscraper windows in a city located in a hurricane zone? Maybe Texas building codes need updating?
