    Driving home from work around 6pm, it was slightly cloudy yet bright and suddenly the sky turned pitch black as if it was midnight, it started to rain hard, the tornado warning notification screaming from my phone then really strong winds which moved my car side to side and a yield sign hit a truck near me. It was so sudden.
  • Those "concrete canyons" just funnel the wind and increase the velocity!
  • @LEVELGAZANOW
    Pressure differential is what blew out the glass and not “flying metal.”
  • @t.k.155
    Wow, that storm really targeted Wells Fargo! Smart storm!

    As someone that has worked in construction in downtown Chicago, I have concerns about their building standards there. Many of those windows in that skyscraper look like they were blown out not broken out. I know some construction companies cut corners in the south, but something like that shouldn't even happen in a tornado.

    Please pay Kevin more so he can buy a bigger shirt. Thank you.
  • @NestaVision2007
    Sorry, but by almost any metric, this was a hurricane force storm. The only difference is that it didn't come off of the gulf...
  • @atxchaser
    He just said don't go downtown due to down trees and hot electrical lines. Daft newscaster asks, "well are places open?" 🤦‍♂️ put your active listening hat on if you're going to engage with interviewers in the field.
  • @QueenCMB
    The Mayor just said stay at home and the anchor woman asked is it closed down. lol

    It was a Derecho. I survived the one in 2020 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I'm now an hour north of Houston and luckily, we didn't get any damage.

    Did Ted Cruz land safely in Cancun?
  • @randypattie9524
    Y'know I have to say that I don't remember in my 63 years on this planet, a downtown core be smashed by a non hurricane event. Looks like the future they predicted is now.
  • @DemarcusQ
    Why is the Wells Fargo building the most damaged through the windows? 😂 They must of built it cheap as hell
  • @rafaelunplugged
    More than the windows is the air pressure. During the typhoons on Guam we leave one window cracked open to balance the pressure or else the windows will pop outward
