Exactly! We were 8 minutes down the street from home. Tornado warning on the phone, then like a minute later a Destructive Storm Warning, I think that one scared me more. Then bam it was on top of us. Got caught at a red light just before our street and the sky was so dark and lighting up green. Ran in the house just in time for the power to go out. gathered the dogs and huddled in the hallway! Scary stuff! Hope you and yours are well!
I chase tornadoes for a hobby, so have seen some of the craziest thunderstorms ever. This is one of the craziest ever, and is something ive only seen one other time. So powerful that it fully blocks out the sun and turns day to night is unreal power. Thoughts go out to those affected
The most bizarre scene I have ever seen is the way it got so dark it looked like the middle of the night but once it blew over, the sun was out for almost two hours after and everything seemed so bright and clear. It's almost as if we were briefly transported to another dimension.
@@TangledWinston naa just fulfilling his ignorant narcissism. I wish it was its own country that way the pacific nw wont see more of them become climate refuges in our part of the country.
That had to be about 530-6pm. A good TWO HOURS before sunset. My wife had just made it home to Montgomery County from a conference in Clear Lake. That camera view is accurate. It was DARK !!
@pamelah6431 EXCUSE ME Pam-meh-lah. I commented before I got that part in the video, but nonetheless, it was an hour and a half or so before sunset. The POINT BEING, it was still early enough in the evening that there would be ample sunlight outside. I hope you and those who don't understand that are happy.
It's hard to go by camera views because they are often brighter or darker than what the human eye sees, but you said this was accurate because you saw this first hand. I've heard of "dark as night" storms (really just a metaphor), and I've been in daytime storms where it got very dark, but never night-night like this. I'm thinking a lot of dust had gotten kicked up into the storm from somewhere else and that's why this particular storm was so dark.
This storm was terrifying. I usually love bad weather, but this one was different. The darkness and wind were nothing like I've seen before. Tornado touched down not too far from where I was. The wind was crazy. I'm thankful my home and car were ok.
Me and my daughter left the Heights area from work and ran right into on I10 😢 it was absolutely terrifying. The wind, rain and our car shaking. We prayed and called my mom and told her we loved her.. we were that scared.
I’ve been through many storms similar to, but not equivalent to this one in my lifetime. Thy thoughts and prayers are with those affected and their families. This was a wicked storm.
I drove through towne lake with my family and we were devastated at the damage over there! absolutely insane. Wishing everyone at towne lake a fast recovery ❤️🩹
That darkness hit in about 30 seconds. Man that would be terrifying. I remember that storm looking at the radar and I'm in Louisiana. Everyone of those cells in the past week had tornados and high winds involved with a lot of lightning.
I experienced the derecho that went through Illinois last June, it was darker than midnight during the lunch hour that day. When they blew the sirens, my cat was the smart one, he went into hiding, while i watched it roll through. I live just outside of Springfield, the state capitol, while my town didnt get much damage, Springfield sure did, and it took a while for power to be restored in some areas. Yeah, that was scarier than schnott, dont want to go through that again!
Yeah, I live in Illinois and I’m getting quite tired of these so-called ‘derechos’, the one last June and all the others we’ve been getting here for a few years are starting to really piss me off! As soon as I retire I’m getting out of here, and I’m going to find some other place to live in that is not this crazy!
I live in the Montrose area, and I have been through several Hurricanes and a tornado once that uprooted a tree and a 10 foot circle of roots. The winds were worse Thursday than anything I had ever seen. I made my dog get away from the windows it was so scary. I moved 2 weeks ago, and my old neighbor 75 feet away still has no power, and my street two houses down have no power. Second move I have made, where within a couple weeks, the past place had a major problems. Makes me so happy I moved.
Wow I’ve only ever seen a non-tornadic storm that scary once before in my life, probably 15 years ago on the interstate in south Florida. Floridians know thunderstorms there can get pretty crazy, they’re used to it and those crazy people will drive through anything. But that particular storm EVERYONE just stopped dead because you had to because of the shear amount of rain and speed of wind. Packed interstate around 5-6pm, but you couldn’t see the head or tail lights of cars that were literally within arm’s reach. It lasted about 2 minutes at that intensity I’ll never forget that.
That's a derecho! I've seen derechos before. So I know firsthand how dangerous and destructive derechos can be. Derechos are a complex of thunderstorms that comes together and becomes long-lived windstorm that can travel for hundreds of miles. It's not unusual at all for derechos to have winds well over minimal hurricane force. The worst time of year for a derecho complex in the US is during the month of May, although you can have derechos anytime during the summer months. Sometimes derechos have been called an "inland hurricane."
That’s bad!! I got family and friends live in Santa Fe where I use to live. It’s been storming down here in southeast live oak county all day, there’s a little break in the storms.” Not for long there more storms going to continue until 6:00 this evening. Then another chance of storms around 9:00pm tonight..” Y’all stay safe stay dry!!
it was 6-7pm. 6 TO 7. it’s always light outside around that time but it looked like it was 9pm. there was green in the clouds, my older brother had the shelter ready. it was a scary night, and im so glad nothing terrible happened in my area.
i was driving home when the storm reached its climax. it was pitch black and i witnessed the traffic lights break. Trees were about to fall and the windshield wiper couldn’t keep up
Very reminiscent of the 2020 derecho that hit here in Iowa. I was in a second floor office building surrounded by glass. It came in so fast, and seeing the trees nearly snap in half, it was crazy. The area on my drive home looked so much like a war zone.
This storm was particularly strange as it was spooky. It wasn’t a tornado and wasn’t a hurricane either. But it was definitely something in between. These storms in 2024 are getting weirder by the week.
Crazy I was literally watching the footage of the EF5 that hit Joplin years ago just the day before this weather headed our way. The sky turned black back then too. Didn’t know an EF1 would do that too. Tornados are horrifying and we didn’t even get the worst of it.
I was only a couple miles north of the Parkersburg tornado and it was the scariest thing I've ever been through. Looked like it was 2 miles wide, sucked people out of their basements. They found debris all the way in Wisconsin.
I lived in Joliet Illinois in 96,97 and back then every summer you would get storms like that. It would be 12 in the afternoon and it would be pitch black with tornado sirens going off and crazy wind and lightning. Needless to say I'd sleep in the basement all summer cause the storms would pop up out of nowhere.
Thank you for your comment, I live in Joliet, Illinois now…have been here since 1999, and let me tell you. We have had these storms EVERY year, there never is a year when we get to have some peace! The sky can be completely blue, with not a single white cloud or anything at all, and then in a couple of seconds, ‘midnight’ rolls in (that’s what I call these things, ‘midnight’, because it’s like a ‘wall’ of midnight darkness rolling in out of nowhere), and you are swept away by 79-95 mile-an-hour winds that blow away entire neighborhoods and wipeout power to entire towns in a matter or seconds! I hate this place, I hate this place with such a passion.
My family had to take shelter in my grandmothers home cause it is more stable than our mobile home, we ran to the car before the heavy winds came in, we had tornado warnings come in. We were speeding off into our grandmothers house, fortunately, we had everyone including our dogs. He headed to the driveway and we checked we had everyone and we ran the the door. The wind felt so strong. We took shelter in the closet for several minutes. There was a massive branch on the front yard, and a few more on the backyard. Our mobile home was not touched by any branches.
I left my apartment at approximately 6:13 pm on Thursday evening with the sky looking totally normal (very light gray "overcast" - not even remotely ominous). 4 minutes down the feeder road of 290 (at 6:17 pm), it was charcoal black-colored in the sky and an alert comes through telling me that if I'm in a car, get to a sturdy building NOW. It was insane.
This kind of footage of a severe storm darkening the sky as if it is night, is quite terrifying and scary! I'm glad that I'm not in that area and hopefully the normal weather and daylight come back soon :)
I was driving to the 21 concert and about 10 miles down I-10 the black clouds finally caught up with us….had to pull over almost immediately and damn was it bad😭it was dark and it started hailing on us I though I was gonna get sucked up by a tornado. Good less I made it to the 21 concert only 2 hours late.
I was stuck on the freeway during the storm near Spring Branch. I am at an advanced age and I had never seen or experienced anything like it. I honestly still am a bit shook by it.
literally!!! Originally from Houston, now living in Austin 4 years for school. The eclipse was not even that dark, it took a lil bit for the sky to darken but it wasn’t sudden like this, with no AC, no power and the temperatures/humidity rising on a daily basis, i cannot imagine how bad it is
I remember one thunderstorm in Preston, UK when I was in my late teens had the same darkening effect. It was known as a Spanish Plume Effect and day literally turned into the dead of night and the thunderstorm which followed was huge. It was super bizarre!
When i hear that something else happened to Houston I always have tears because Houston is my home. Haven’t been there since 2019 but will always be home but damn we suffer there smh 🤦🏾♀️
From what I understand this was a derecho, which has been described as a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms. Winds can exceed 100 mph in these type of storms.
I was parked in the middle of the downtown area when the storm came through. A big tree branch fell off a a tree and landed not even 1 or 2 feet from my car on the curb. It was really close. Probably shouldn't have parked near/under the tree but I didnt know the storm would be that bad. I couldn't even see the skyscrapers that were just in front of me. It was a wild storm.
@gordon9177she’s actually right. Here since the time zone switched the sun sets at 8/8:30 the latest so yes it should’ve been daylight around this time.
@@LynnMcAllister were you not even listening to the video? The guy said its 6:30, the sun doesn't even set for another two hours. So yes it was that dark during the day
Houston basically gets a freak weather event every other year now, it’s so tiring and having a generator will eventually become a necessity . One of multiple reasons I’ll be leaving the city and state soon.
My Dad had just landed at IAH from CT and could not grasp the severity of the situation and how lucky he was to be IN an airport. Last we spoke I was at the pool on his layover so it made no sense to him.
Mmm thats exactly what it looked like out my door. Mannn I watched it come down like i was fixn be swept away. My house never lost power though. It was terrible and beautiful. My sister caught a tornado on the way home. I was just chilling waiting on my husband to cook me dinner ✌🏻
Happened here in Florida not long ago. Like a month or so. Was at the VA for an appointment at 230pm. 4pm rolls around as I'm still n walked past the main entrance to my next appointment... Looked out and it looked like it was damn near 930at night... I knew immediately I wasn't leaving anytime soon
No. Houston is in a mix of forest, swamp, and coastal grassland. One of the wettest regions of the country. None of the stereotypical landscape people think of who don't know the geography of the state of country.
And this is EXACTLY why I can't move back to Texas...especially HOUSTON!!! I love the culture, I miss my people...but not enough to move back. I will stay right here in the Arizona desert, thank you very much. And I actually use to miss the rainy days being in this desert...until the regular rainy days started turning into what felt like, real live hurricanes 😑😑😑 no mam I'm good right here.
In my area, the EAS alarm came, and then it started raining HARD with 80 mph winds in just 30 secs. The good thing that was it was only about 30 minutes.
I've always thought it was pretty crazy how the tornados in Tornado Alley never seem to hit these major downtown areas but always seem to touch down in the suburbs. Can you imagine the destruction if like an F5 touched down in a major city with all the skyscrapers?
Yes this is what we saw too in Hockley, nowhere near downtown. I think because of our geographic position we felt it before it made it down the neighborhoods. Still praying for Houstonian!!
Been having dreams about this before hand…I’m not surprised. Our earth is shifting is going to cause more geomagnetic storm increase for the next few years. I’m not trying to put out fear we need to get our act together and be more mindful about our planet.
According to my friend at the national tornado center the storm that hit Houston was in fact a mega tornado. It was in fact 22 miles wide at the base and 37 miles wide at the top. This extreme size made it impossible to appreciate that it was in fact a tornado. This is an extremely rare weather phenomenon.
There is no such thing as the National Tornado Center. There is the National Weather Service, National Severe Storms Laboratory National Oceanic Atmospheric Association and the National Hurricane Center
@@michaellewter8671 A derecho is not a mega tornado. Derechos are straight line winds. Nowhere near as dangerous as tornadic winds. They’re closer to mini hurricanes
Im in north Pearland and all I can say is.. I got no power twice it got so dark and tornado warnings {and btw we don’t have sirens) AND IT WAS SO WINDY😅😅 And I was watching weather channels and abc 13 for like 2 hours😂😂😂 insane😂😂
Looks like a scene out of Joel 2 where it reads, "A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."

Mmm thats exactly what it looked like out my door. Mannn I watched it come down like i was fixn be swept away. My house never lost power though. It was terrible and beautiful. My sister caught a tornado on the way home. I was just chilling waiting on my husband to cook me dinner ✌🏻
Happened here in Florida not long ago. Like a month or so. Was at the VA for an appointment at 230pm. 4pm rolls around as I'm still n walked past the main entrance to my next appointment... Looked out and it looked like it was damn near 930at night... I knew immediately I wasn't leaving anytime soon
The 2nd cam was quite ok
There is probably a lot of dirt being pushed ahead of that derechos.... It happens a lot on the prairies.
Nope. No dirt dumped on us in Cypress. Just tornados and straight line winds tearing up our trees, fences, roofs, and houses
No. Houston is in a mix of forest, swamp, and coastal grassland. One of the wettest regions of the country. None of the stereotypical landscape people think of who don't know the geography of the state of country.
Is it just me, or has the US had some of the worst storms it's had in a while.
Read the comments and tell me humans are not devolving
u need to evolve human
That's just the vaxed...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Devolve doesn't mean what you think it means.
We are evolving but I think it’s for the worse sometimes..
And this is EXACTLY why I can't move back to Texas...especially HOUSTON!!! I love the culture, I miss my people...but not enough to move back. I will stay right here in the Arizona desert, thank you very much. And I actually use to miss the rainy days being in this desert...until the regular rainy days started turning into what felt like, real live hurricanes 😑😑😑 no mam I'm good right here.
WOW! That’s supposed to be daylight???!
I only feel sorry for the homeless people living under the bridges and such that had to deal with it!❤❤❤❤
how ominous
In my area, the EAS alarm came, and then it started raining HARD with 80 mph winds in just 30 secs. The good thing that was it was only about 30 minutes.
I've always thought it was pretty crazy how the tornados in Tornado Alley never seem to hit these major downtown areas but always seem to touch down in the suburbs. Can you imagine the destruction if like an F5 touched down in a major city with all the skyscrapers?
This was far "better" than the Eclipse a few weeks ago.
I had a dream we had 500mph winds at ground level and strange northern lights in the sky with narrow funnels
Seems like you have my kinda dreams = nightmares
They were mot your ordinary funnels. It was insane! @GriefStrickenLycan

Our brains tend to show us what is on our mind when we sleep, whether we knew it or not.
@@kjj26k your ass tends to show too much
Never seen a storm that made it dark as night!!!
Yes I was in north Houston that day never seen a storm,turm day to midnight black,Darker than the eclipse
@@ChrisFord-d2n That's pretty crazy! Hope you and your family are ok!
Condolences to those who have lost their lives 😢
Yes this is what we saw too in Hockley, nowhere near downtown. I think because of our geographic position we felt it before it made it down the neighborhoods. Still praying for Houstonian!!
Was chillin going to school and saw it rolling in since 730 it just got darker and darkder
Been having dreams about this before hand…I’m not surprised. Our earth is shifting is going to cause more geomagnetic storm increase for the next few years. I’m not trying to put out fear we need to get our act together and be more mindful about our planet.
Where the hell is the lightning very strange
my mom was stuck on the freeway when this hit houston; an 18 wheeler flipped on its side cause of the wind and the entire freeway was shaking
Idk what, but those storms aint scarier than what happened in 2013 in Moore. That was a ride.
Deadly Storm ... 💀💵🫶
NO WAY, THIS IS VERY VIOLENT AND INSANE! I LIVE IN INDIANAPOLIS
According to my friend at the national tornado center the storm that hit Houston was in fact a mega tornado. It was in fact 22 miles wide at the base and 37 miles wide at the top. This extreme size made it impossible to appreciate that it was in fact a tornado. This is an extremely rare weather phenomenon.
Source: Trust me bro
There is no such thing as the National Tornado Center. There is the National Weather Service, National Severe Storms Laboratory National Oceanic Atmospheric Association and the National Hurricane Center
Dude it was a confirmed derecho...mega tornado...smh
@@michaellewter8671 Derecho is straightline winds dumbass. It’s more like a hurricane
@@michaellewter8671 A derecho is not a mega tornado. Derechos are straight line winds. Nowhere near as dangerous as tornadic winds. They’re closer to mini hurricanes
Somebody watching??🤩🤩🤩
I’m watching😳😰

Man made weather.
Yep weather warfare. Look into it folks not organic
Via climate change. That's what you get when humankind throws tons and tons of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere for over a century.
You're absolutely right! We should take accountability as a species for climate change.
@@xantronixbot
Nope.
How’s everyone doing the night after y’all stay blessed my people
Why can't we get these storms in canada
why do I live here again
I know that's right!!!
right
Because you can't leave.
Or can you?
Houston, we have a problem
tbh, that kinda looks cool
This storm was classed as a derecho storm by the National Weather Service. Winds exceeded 100mph.
That is frightful. By now, sun doesn't set until after 830p.
Im in north Pearland and all I can say is.. I got no power twice it got so dark and tornado warnings {and btw we don’t have sirens) AND IT WAS SO WINDY😅😅 And I was watching weather channels and abc 13 for like 2 hours😂😂😂 insane😂😂
That has to be the scariest thing I’ve seen in a long time
It's only getting worse every month.The weather keeps getting worse
Ok I keep hearing dark as night, what time was it when this took place for reference?
Still no electricity in the Glen Lee Subdivision we need your help. No electricity since Thursday last week.
Philadelphia got a storm silimar to Houston, back in 1998. 9:15 in the morning 🌄. Sky as DARK AS MIDNIGHT!!
Think somebody has been playing with the contrast button.
Ugh I was in the storm and it was very dark and scary.
Looks like a scene out of Joel 2 where it reads, "A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."
This is frickin' spooky
Now this is a storm !!
CaseOh farted to Texas 💀💀
