Houston weather: Windows of Downtown Houston high rises damaged

More than 40 years living in Houston. Every year I receive tornado warnings. Never paid much attention to them bc they never hit us. I live Cypress and this time I thought I was about to get killed. The lights went out and all of a sudden I heard a distant freight train getting closer quick. Barely had enough time to get my dog and barricade ourselves in a small closet underneath the stairs. It felt as if though the house was about to get blown apart. We were lucky. God is good. Part of my roof and my entire back yard fence and a tree is completely destroyed. A tree in my front yard had huge branches ripped out damaging a few of my vehicles . Those are trivial things. Material things can be replaced. Your life cannot. The city says we won't have power restored for at least 48 hrs. It blows (pardon the pun) but I can live with that. Stay safe everyone.

Poor Bob had to cancel his wine & dinner 😂

10:38 There are still no lights, but im happy to hear that many are safe. I'm praying for those still in the path of this horrifying storm....

Doesn't look like a good sign for this hurricane season 😬

it missed the mobile home park where i live

Maybe it’s cause I don’t watch news anymore but the reporting seems so dumbed down like people really need every single detail pointed out to them cause they can’t understand basic reality…oh wait

I think this is worse than Hurricane IKE back in 2008. When it comes to windy weather, storm damage, and power outages.

Bob was not happy about shutting down his nice wine dinner 😂😂

Lights went out after 6:30, and it's still pitch black in our neighborhood. 😢

Seems like Every year since early 2000’s always a bad storm in May right before hurricane season.

I live in the Houston area and this reminds me of Hurricane Alicia in 1983 when all the green glass from the Allied Bank Building (same as one in the video) blew out and landed in the streets below. This is why the newscasters said this destructive thunderstorm was like a Category I Hurricane. So true! Because by the time a Hurricane comes ashore in the Houston area, the winds die down to Category I strength, but there is still destruction - just not as bad as when it first hits the coast.

God please have mercy protect them all

I was hit by the tornado, and I am in the center of the power outage, sadly.

Thank you for reports

Wow, this is absolutely wild. Stay safe there everyone.

the wind pressure between those building increases. just like under the the overpasses during tornados . !!!! it had to be super strong

@4:08: "It looks like windows got blown out. Is that really what we are seeing?" SMH and rolling my eyes... No, the office occupants just wanted some of the cool breezes and accidentally broke the windows trying to open them.

Skies did transform mid day blue A storm turned skies a grey hue Eighty mile an hour winds blew Shattering glass in Houston flew Storm passed an left quite a view

Stay safe Houston praying for a quick recovery!!!

Praying for everyone thur this, l have friends that live in Texas.🙏🙏🙏
