Nah frr😂

[@JustLikeHeaven77]

Haha

[@paralysisbyanalysis]

The winds hit 120 mph in some spots. That is not normal.

For the Gulf Coast, it is a yearly thing.

[@twinsterdude1186]

@@paralysisbyanalysis yes like he is saying it is a yearly thing. We have been hit by tons of hurricanes and the same thing but worse happened. In hurricane Ike almost every tree in downtown was down and every window was busted. These huge supercell storms come around twice a year.

Rest peacefully to the 4 people who died. We are sad that this happen.

[@nowintroducinghertome]

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.. 🤝

“Reminds me of a war zone”… bro, have you even been outside of the montrose area?

THE LORD IS TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING.

[@deborahfenley5825]

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.

[@isaiahmacallister7760]

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.

God bless you Houston

“War zone” stop being so dramatic

[@tapitXq9]

No doubt light in the loafers

[@twinsterdude1186]

It is a term because of the broken glass in that huge urban area.

Many others may now learn what it is to be homeless

[@BajatheChickenMan]

As the pole shift continues to gather momentum, expect these types of storms to become normal.

[@artenman]

I like how he has to say "Lexus SUV", can't just call it an SUV.

[@PedroMartinezinlaquesh]

All emergency vehicles and working crews are working on Downtown and rich neighborhoods only.

[@seanbergemann6018]

Not surprising that the hand of God is striking down on Texas.

[@separateifyoucantrelate.]

Is there a lot of evil there?

[@johnnyflores1978]

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

[@pauldavila2211]

I used to live in spring aswell with my mom's ex and when me, my sis, and mom got back to the house there was many trees on the ground everywhere

[@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

[@Calinotch06]

What time did the storm start and how long did it last?

[@Jimmy_Toilet]

6:00 in the afternoon

[@Jimmy_Toilet]

7:30 was the time of the storm went away

[@86Kera]

Around 6 to a little past 7

[@Calinotch06]

@@86Kera thanks, that's a lot of damage for just around an hour.

[@steven4315]

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

[@sleepydoppy8516]

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

[@stevenwilliams9006]

I hope you people are prepared for all the injustice weather your having.Wait till the summer drought& hurricanes

Comparison to a war zone is too dramatic.

Are we’re still planing gay parade

[@ThePumpin1]

What does that have to do with anything? You sound like an idiot. Houston is located near the gulf, so storms like this can happen.

[@davidescobar923]

And wickedness will pay

[@richardthetroll6758]

War zone 😂😂😂😂
