  1. I had the misfortune to be stuck on the highway at Beltway and 290 right when this blew through! Impossible for me to avoid being out then, even if I had known. Stopped my car under the overpass, even thought that is not advised; I literally had no other choice. Got through it unscathed, thank goodness.

  3. I like meteorology a lot but man experiencing that today was freaky. I wasn’t in the strongest winds but they still got strong where I live and I kept questioning between going to hunker down in the bathroom or not. Eventually I went in the bathroom for a few minutes then it calmed down after a while but yeah wow what a storm today.

  4. My neighborhood is right there by West and Fry. I heard that electrical tower blow and it was very loud and sudden. Power went out, of course, and I had no signal whatsoever. I carefully started making my way to a family member's house after some time after making sure things were going to be calm. As I was making my way down, it was crazy the amount of trees and poles on the streets. Everything from 290 all the way down to pretty much I-10 was pitch black.

  5. I just want to remind everyone that this happens all the time. The climate is not changing. Stop thinking that. Thunderstorms with the force of a hurricane forming on the scale of a Western American county is nothing new. Happens all the time… Climate change is a lie. At total Democrat lie. I mean just a few weeks ago Houston had some storms with winds in the 40's What's a tripling of wind speeds? And look how robust the Texas power grid was. It only goes down when it's cold, when it's hot, and when it rains.
