Don't worry folks, your insurance companies will delay payment for repairs long after they should be allowed too. What should take months to recover from will take years. Remember this each time you're forced to pay your insurance company. Oh, by the way, many of those companies see billions in revenue each year.
But since repair expenses are outracing revenue, insurance companies are pulling out of areas. Not just for big storms but also for accumulating costs from less dramatic hail damage to asphalt roofs, car windshields, and car body denting. Can’t wait until the damage to home electronics from increased lightning starts to hit the bottom line.
Hey man. Somewhere out there, is a person who’s yacht isn’t as nice as their neighbors…and if they pay out all that money, then that person won’t be able to buy that yacht. Who are you to tell them not to get their yacht. Shameful Who are you to say
My husband, my kids, and I got the tornado warning alert while we were literally 15 minutes from home. In less than a few minutes it became completely dark (around 6 ish). We noticed all the lights were out in our area and then the rain and wind picked up extremely fast. We couldn’t see anything. But we managed to get to Kroger parking lot and had to wait it out. One of the most scariest experiences of my life. I was just so grateful for my husband in that moment, because he kept us all calm.
They see billions because people hesitate to use the $$ they have payed in. Stop that! Use these companies in the way they are supposed to be used & how they are supposed to treat you!
Decided to let my son travel alone for the first time with his AAU basketball team from Indianapolis to Houston yesterday for a tournament this weekend. I went back tonight to look at flight path, our text messages and time stamps and the reported time it hit downtown and they were literally holding just north of Houston as it was at its worst. They held so long they had to give up and go to Dallas because gas was getting low. The turbulence was horrible as you would expect. I felt helpless but the pilots and the airline did their job. Prayers to all there that had to ride it out.
I'm so glad he is safe. Don't let this freak storm prevent you from letting your son experience the best things in life. This is like a 1 in a several million freak occurrence.
Our neighborhood got a tornado. No question about it. I don’t care what the news says. I’ve been here for 25 years and never experienced a storm like this. Neighbors saw the wind swirling debris and I heard it. The train sound everyone talks about. So scary to hear that! Destroyed all the trees and my house. It’s devastating.
It was a derecho not a tornado! Just straight line winds! I study meteorology so I know all about them. People mistake them for tornados but truly they are not. They actually are more related to a hurricane.
@@mikehunter1483 and what's a hurricane except a really large tornado (I know there's a huge difference)? I just took a screenshot of a supercell from west texas that was so powerful, the tornado created an eye and the storm looked like a miniature hurricane. Kinda made me think if a hurricane could get enough inflow and spin up a massive tornado at the eye. Probably not but hey with God, nothing is impossible. I know man is dabbling his fingers in weather right now. I've seen the weather mod flights. It's a real company that gets hired and goes out and sprays. But I like to give God all the credit. And I pray He protect me from it. God bless.
@mikehunter1483 There can be tornadoes within derechos, mainly QLSC's. Also derechos are not more related to hurricanes than tornadoes, if anything they happen more often alongside tornadoes. You must be new.
@@mikehunter1483 that's what I was wondering! Derecho or microburst, etc. I've lived on gulf coast all my life and seeing this without a hurricane hitting was strange. Watching the radar looked different than I've ever seen during a front driven system
Thank you 🙏🏻 I live in Cleveland Tx & my house was flooded May 3. I moved to houston temporarily with my mom & I was barely starting all over when this storm hit. I was on my way back from buying a new car since my other 2 had drowned in the flood when the storm hit. Can’t catch a break but I’m grateful I’m alive 🙏🏻
It's not really the glass, it's the twisting of the structures. Even in Los Angeles, our buildings are designed to twist in an earthquake - it's preferable to lose the windows than the structures.
Yup, i was going to my niece school play and was like nope nope going back home lol the truck was shaking lol it was like being under the eclipse. And hr later and the sun was bavk at full force in my area lol
I live in metarie,La suburb of new Orleans,that storm hit here after houston ,wind gust were up to like 80 mph per hour,it was like a cat 1 hurricane hitting ,the lightning lit up the sky like a Christmas tree,almost thought it was a tornado,never seen a regular severe thunderstorm like that in years ,then their went the power
Me either😢 I live in Cleveland Tx but May 3rd my home flooded. Temporarily moved with my mom in Houston but now this happened & we have no electricity. I can’t catch a break 😢😢💔 I have 2 babies & it’s the worst feeling being practically homeless with children
It’s been exactly 48 hours for me! I just took from my savings to get a hotel room 😭 it was 87 degrees in my apartment. I lost all my groceries. No power or cell service still. Hoping things get better for all of us soon 🤍🙏
This was like a category 2 or 3 hurricane hitting the city at rush hour & during an Astros game with barely any warning. It's a miracle more people weren't injured and killed. Texas should declare a State of Emergency to get more FEMA aid.
@@partnerwithjee5114 Why are you posting this everywhere? Are you a trucker? What kind of trucker stares up at skyscrapers instead of looking at the road infront of them?

Now, with that said, please quietly 🤫 go about repairing, fixing, replacing, and cleaning up your property. Your home owner insurers are out to lunch, that is, until they have a new twist to the pages of nonsensical vebages they sold you. Folks, despite the the people that draw flood 🙄 zone topographical maps, if you're living anywhere 🙄 within the boundaries of between Corpus Christi, up to San Antonio, up over to Austin, up over around to Diabold and Lake Livingston 🙄 down over to Dayton, down to orange and southwest Louisiana, back over to Port Arthur and Beaumont, clear over to Galveston and back down to Corpus.

I lived in Houston for six years, which included the massive storm and power outage of February 2021. During that crisis, I learned there are three power grids for the entire country. There's the Eastern Grid, the Western Grid, and then there's Texas. I'm not sure why that is, but during periods of high demand, the Lone Star State has no one to go to. Other states can pool their electricity from each other, but not Texas.
We did it for unsurprising reasons: 1. Ostensibly, initially, it was intended to save Texas consumers money. And while it may have, in ERCOTS early days, it’s certainly strayed from that goal since then. Energy companies got approval last year to pass their freeze damage costs back onto consumers. That’s why all our electric bills this past summer were abnormally high, it was effectively forced payments on their bills. 2, probably the real reason. To avoid federal regulation in our energy sector, to protect oil interests and such.
Why do people keep focusing on that? Who cares. We had a freak storm and Democrats are sure to act like Texas is incompetent. I can't tell you how many times some person from another state brings that up like it shows the incompetence of our government when our state is run better than a lot of other states.
Hopefully, everyone is safe, the water resource gets collected efficiently, and the local government learns to improve building codes and safety protocols.
The wall collapsed where there was urban scarring (removal of adjacent buildings without adequate replacement or wall strengthening), that wall was not designed to be an outward-facing wall when it was constructed. Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore have glass-walled skyscrapers over 100 floors high that are built to withstand 200km/h+ typhoons, don't build homes with wood and foam, have world-class underground utilities and drainage systems, overnight cleanup, and sheltered public transportation systems that run even during storms at high capacity. Damage is preventable with adequate urban planning, infrastructure investment, efficient fiscal administration and stringent building standards.
Except the United States have always been corrupt. I say have because it's not just the federal government but the state, county and local governments as well! That's why infrastructure here is badly planned, over engineered yet poorly designed, and shoddily built. EDIT: And costs a fortune.
We lived through it! I had received a tornado warning about 10 minutes before the storm and winds came. We live just outside of Downtown Houston (in Montrose) and I was still in the neighborhood picking up dinner at a local restaurant when we all received the weather warning. I got back home in about 5 minutes, put the food down, and then heard electrical transformers start sparking. I went outside to investigate when I saw the darkest clouds! I got back inside to HUNKER DOWN!! Oh, boy, the storm and winds came really fast and hard! Our cat was inside and ran into the deepest closet because he was ao scared. My wife and I were scared throughout the ordeal. It was a miracle that our gian pecan tree didn't fall over and crush our home. We did get some roof damage, porch infrastructure blew away, lots of huge tree trunks fell, and general outside damage all around our home and detached garage. Luckily we were prepared with a standby generator that got us through the power outage!!
27 hours later and still waiting for power. thankfully house isn't hurt. Only loss will be food in the fridge. But reports from the power company say some of us may not get power back for as much as TWO WEEKS. A lot more than 48 hours stated by the mayor.
It took us 2 weeks to get power back after Ike. I know our neighborhood will have it really bad after this storm because lines and poles are laying in the yards all over the place

We build with brick too. You say your house can withstand a CAT5 hurricane? I would bet my life there would be nothing left of it if it was hit by the violent, not just straight line, wind speed along with heavy missile debris from an EF5 tornado
I live in Tomball (upper left corner of Houston) and most of everyone’s power is back Except mine. The power people said they don’t know how long it will take until it’s back so I’m just stuck here hoping it will get better before the weekdays Update: the restoration map said I could be without power until Wednesday
Just wow Jesus Christ! My sister's birthday was this may 16 turned 21 we had a small party with no lights we were so hot intimidated stinky for four whole days, I am so deprived that this happened so early like it was an early start of a hurricane season, but mostly a tornado to me like Twister 1996 film movie drive in and auto shop scene! Thankfully we still have our houses and everything we bought and got for ourselves!
We had 122mph winds in the uk not long ago.. closest we had to this was a few trees fell and planes couldn’t land. 🤷🏽♂️ houses were generally ok unless a tree fell on it.. but our houses are built out of stone and actual brick.

This storm has been officially classed as a derecho, (a.k.a land hurricane,) with winds exceeding 100mph by National Weather Service. ~Texas Storm spotter/Chaser
After one of the major hurricanes in Florida, I had to hire private inspector to give me estimates on damage in order to insurance to pay me right amount. So sad, paying insurance all these years and when you need it, they bargain on you.😢
the tornado hit my aunt and uncles house in Katy. She said the sky tuned a greenish color during the tornado. My dad lives downtown so he has no power and my church was cancelled because of how they have no power either Edit: my dad lives in a 2 story shared home that look almost identical to the brick houses that were showcased
Oh please! The Eastern seaboard ,the south they all get these storms. Your Texan gvt is never prepared. Off grid electicity. No good drainage systems. Everything is dumber in Texas.
I know most of these people may not believe in science, but they said they’re supposed to be one of the worst summers yet with the most names for hurricanes. This is a precursor to what’s gonna happen.
Well, I guess people pay for insurance for their homes and businesses for reasons like this. If it was flooding, it would not be covered, but I think wind damage is fully covered.
Stay safe you all... we are always at the mercy of nature whenever it unleashes... I live in hurricane alley in the caribbean.. Cozumel, Mexico.. hardest hit 2005 by Wilma..who lingered for two days.. though that was before i came in 2011... residents say to me no elec. for a whole mo. money useless to buy food bec groceries are closed... perishables were distributed to residents before rotting away... govt stepped in as well as foreign parties to help recovery get started asap.. as the island mainly lives on tourism...
And most people still build out of "just good enough" materials. Sort of makes sense, or it did, but now the potential for weather everywhere is getting much more extreme. It wouldn't take that much more to build out of stronger, better stuff. Most of the extra cost will come back in energy savings, the durability would be a bonus.
Mother nature balancing our excess; the excess exploitation of her riches. And this will only dial up from here all the way to level 9. This is at best level 4 in terms of intensity and frequency of her carnage. The future is being left a barren bowl of dust.
My birthday turned out better than 1980 with Mt. Saint Helens eruption! And i didn't even have a Cinderella cake! No cake at all, no party. Nothing. Aaaand i was SUPER hungry all day.

Revenue is not profit the insurance company I had worked for has not seen profits in 9 years.
and insurance rates keep going up because of these events, its a lose lose situation.

Oz builds Cat 5 cyclone proof houses in Northern Australia (300 km/hr winds) with bricks and they remain intact. Get some aussie brickies to build a proper house
There is
More Power and more Rain on the way .
The Human has a Problem with a Mass Psychosis and that make it Safe that there comes.
That Word Psychosis make a Speciale Situation Visible and that makes it Visible, that the Crowd a good work with the Logic didn't likes.
Absolutely agree im tired of our cheap flimsy pathetic homes
@@tempemmin the Future needs the Human maybe a Place down or a Place under the Earth .
That Word Mass Psychosis makes it Visible that the Chance Super Tiny is that the Human in the Next Time better Mental Situation Visible makes.
That is Safe not Safe enough what the US People likes ,but the Human makes with his Building many more Problems Visible.
The Human makes his self to Quickly to a Highlight and that makes the 300 kmh Message on a Speciale way Visible.
So a Building makes very Quickly a Link with a Problem, with the Greed, Visible.
The Human is a Robber and that makes the Human as House owner on a Speciale way Visible.
@@Baba-fy1jc bro WHAT???????????????????????????
We build with brick too. You say your house can withstand a CAT5 hurricane? I would bet my life there would be nothing left of it if it was hit by the violent, not just straight line, wind speed along with heavy missile debris from an EF5 tornado
In Cypress where the tornado hit. It was so so so scary. Still no power.
I was in downtown when this happened I’m just a kid chill god
God loves you kid
He's dealing with the corrupted not you.
I live in Tomball (upper left corner of Houston) and most of everyone’s power is back Except mine. The power people said they don’t know how long it will take until it’s back so I’m just stuck here hoping it will get better before the weekdays
Update: the restoration map said I could be without power until Wednesday
Houston for decades has flooding problems. Big time!!
Just wow Jesus Christ!
My sister's birthday was this may 16 turned 21 we had a small party with no lights we were so hot intimidated stinky for four whole days, I am so deprived that this happened so early like it was an early start of a hurricane season, but mostly a tornado to me like Twister 1996 film movie drive in and auto shop scene!
Thankfully we still have our houses and everything we bought and got for ourselves!
why is everyone saying it was a hurricane? There was a literal tornado, it was slightly visible through debris.
A literal inland Category 1 hurricane basically ran through Texas and Louisiana.
Just like the storm in Nashville 1998..total damage….prayers for everyone ..stay safe..
We had 122mph winds in the uk not long ago.. closest we had to this was a few trees fell and planes couldn’t land. 🤷🏽♂️ houses were generally ok unless a tree fell on it.. but our houses are built out of stone and actual brick.
Same in Houston. I haven't heard of wind damage. Mostly falling trees and glass downtown.
Prayers
"Together"
People in Texas are getting web feet
Every day this week rain did repeat
Now this next week we face the heat
Pray for those without AC an no retreat
Neighbor helping neighbor is how this we defeat
This storm has been officially classed as a derecho, (a.k.a land hurricane,) with winds exceeding 100mph by National Weather Service.
~Texas Storm spotter/Chaser
I was at Houston and this is this was my first time having a tornado
I live In Houston and never seen anything like this with the hurricanes 😢
This type of storm is called a Durecho.
I was at my grandparents house sick when the storm hit although no damage was done to the house their yard was flooding.
This is so terrible, poor people.
We just got power back - I had no idea it was this bad!
So was this a tornado or just a strong storm?
Iknow right i feel like it was both
Derecho storm.
Storm -- except north of town. 100 mph straight wind.
After one of the major hurricanes in Florida, I had to hire private inspector to give me estimates on damage in order to insurance to pay me right amount. So sad, paying insurance all these years and when you need it, they bargain on you.😢
And I still don't have power where I live -- gues they just forgot north Harris county -- thanks guys !!
How can you live there without AC?
Hallelujah!
This is what God planned.
Rejoice and be thankful.
the tornado hit my aunt and uncles house in Katy. She said the sky tuned a greenish color during the tornado. My dad lives downtown so he has no power and my church was cancelled because of how they have no power either
Edit: my dad lives in a 2 story shared home that look almost identical to the brick houses that were showcased
Im so glad that i didn't move.
To Houston.
A wicked thunderstorm with winds up to 100 mph, that's a category 2 -land hurricane- derecho!
Wow you guys get a lot of damage?
Houston needs to wake up and start replacing those high rise buildings with hurricane proof windows like they have in Miami.
Everything is bigger in Texas.
Particularly property taxes!
Oh please! The Eastern seaboard ,the south they all get these storms. Your Texan gvt is never prepared. Off grid electicity. No good drainage systems. Everything is dumber in Texas.
Especially the egos
Especially HEARTS!
@@theemeraldfox7779 In the ego category, I'd bet on a Californian, over a Texan any day. Insufferable.
I know most of these people may not believe in science, but they said they’re supposed to be one of the worst summers yet with the most names for hurricanes. This is a precursor to what’s gonna happen.
Damn!
Was all the damage inside the loop?
No, they're saying Cypress area.
Well, I guess people pay for insurance for their homes and businesses for reasons like this. If it was flooding, it would not be covered, but I think wind damage is fully covered.
Some terrible devils are causing me problems. Looks like Houston too.
Stay safe you all... we are always at the mercy of nature whenever it unleashes... I live in hurricane alley in the caribbean.. Cozumel, Mexico.. hardest hit 2005 by Wilma..who lingered for two days.. though that was before i came in 2011... residents say to me no elec. for a whole mo. money useless to buy food bec groceries are closed... perishables were distributed to residents before rotting away... govt stepped in as well as foreign parties to help recovery get started asap.. as the island mainly lives on tourism...
I blame your Governor he doesn't have a leg to stand on.
can't blame nature on someone... silly.
@@fc5139 "Mother Nature is only a bitch if you are my dear." I love her power to put everything on lockdown. She is in charge.
Ted Cruz a no show.
Abbott a no show!
Did you look in Cancun ?
Just wait until Hurricane season it’s just the beginning
This should have been a state of emergency. My lights have been out since Thursday at 6:16 pm in the Glen Lee Subdivision, really sad 😔
Wow how does this happen in an America like this smh .
Houston, we have a problem.
All the way to conro i dont speak that family but this was major in houston
My Aunt still has no electricity
First winter storms ,then spring tornado season then summer fall hurricane season
He's knocking at the doors of the world.
So, like every year?
devastating
Gee, I hope oil production wasn't affected.
Manila skyscrapers are built for this kind of weather.. Sending prayers..
Exactly right luv
And most people still build out of "just good enough" materials. Sort of makes sense, or it did, but now the potential for weather everywhere is getting much more extreme. It wouldn't take that much more to build out of stronger, better stuff. Most of the extra cost will come back in energy savings, the durability would be a bonus.
How Desolating and Tribulating it is.
🙏
🙏🙏🙏
i lost everything in Houston during Harvey everyone who didn't move out then now regret it
Mother nature balancing our excess; the excess exploitation of her riches. And this will only dial up from here all the way to level 9. This is at best level 4 in terms of intensity and frequency of her carnage. The future is being left a barren bowl of dust.
Long as it don't blow the oil rigs down!
This is a good one,
bip .... Houston this time you have a problem ... bip ..... Houston? Bip ... do you copy? ... bip .....
how many trees are there in a city 🤔
Yah said... and they will know I am God. Don't mess with Texas just got torn up.
End of our days 🙏
The people in Houston should smarten up.
My birthday turned out better than 1980 with Mt. Saint Helens eruption! And i didn't even have a Cinderella cake! No cake at all, no party. Nothing. Aaaand i was SUPER hungry all day.
Daaaamn🤔
CHEAP MATERIAL ARE USED IN THE US. MAKE HOUSES WITH CONCRET THAT WOULD STAND THIS KIND OF WINDS.
wind and solar farms?
Just pass a law outlawing climate change like Florida did. Problem solved.
This has to be sarcasm lmao
There’s more coming
Вы проблемные жадные люди😂, вот у нас май как май ,цветы цветут, ❤
Why is Houston always flooding?
Its flat, no drainage. Any significant rain causes problems
Like a hurricane!
Billions of dollars in damages for a CAT 2 hurricane.
It is only the weather. Get used to it. Tomorrow will be different
It came to pass re: whirlwind Pt.2
Weather weapons against us. Sad.
18 May 2024 / Tornado Texas. 😮
If I lived in Texas I would build myself a monolithic dome home.
Disrespect Mother Nature then Expect to suffer 😢
Exactly, Nature wrath in all its glory.
