Houston always been so hot 🥵 to many dam concrete highways
What do you want, rubber highways that melt?
@@stevemoore-nx8cq
less people.
This is horrible. I have family in houston. It’s bad…
it's never been good. Always been water logged mashland/Bayou. hope your family have waedders. Especially since the local authority are building it as a water theme park and directing the local rivers in to Huston. Not out.
releax, its not that bad. i live in houston and the worst winds were a thin line that hit downtown and headed east. the news makes it seem like the entire city was damaged when in reality, it was a small area. this fearmongering and only showing the bad parts of a storm that wasnt that bad is why no one trust the media
Very sad. This thing was just like a hurricane that came roaring into the metro area. Now Houston is going to have to deal with the rising heat and no power/ air conditioning. A dangerous situation for the elderly and those with health conditions.
The heat is definitely the worst part.
It’s hell in Houston with out a/c plus no house to even rest up in 😢😢😢
Older folks are going to suffer dearly
I lived through four of these , the most recent was the August 10th, 2020 at the height of the pandemic. It was the most costliest thunderstorm in modern US history at the time. The power outages lasted for week . I live in the Quad Cities , Iowa and Illinois and Iowa had it the worst , especially in Cedar Rapids. The winds topped there at 140 mphs. They call it a ‘inland hurricane’ with wind speeds close to a Category 2 hurricane. It’s an extremely rare event, but for it to happen in Texas , that’s most likely the very first time a derecho has ever happened there, it typically happens in the Midwest. It’s sad that lives were lost too 😥.
Paying for everyone in Houston. God bless you all.
Praying 🙏 *
Looks like a category 4 hurricane. Just horrific.💔
I've been in a category 4, it looks more of a category 3 storm aftermath to me.
I fart harder than a CAT 4
Just wait for the hurricanes this season.
In what state
@@S0PH1EE4 In Wyoming, they're predicted to terrible this year. What do you mean "what state"? Any state that's on the atlantic or gulf o' mexico. Why I outta....
So tragic!
I live in Houston and The power is restored to more then half the city
I’m still out of power
North side is still very spotty in terms of who has power and who doesn’t
Still don't have power 😕 the other 2 nights it was humid but at least cool but i had to crash at a friend's tonight bc i spent 5 min in my apt after avoiding it all day and was already sweating profusely
I feel for you. Tornadoes after Hurricane Ike left me 3 weeks without electricity and running water (I had a well) in Spring. trees down, couldn't get out , it was terrible. Prayers for Houson! Here it is 5 days later, I have friends without power still.
I live dfw area I to supposed to go comicpalooza in houston with my family and unable to there because of the storm in houston
My.
Prayers goes out to the people of houston
We’re Houston Strong!! We will be just fine, we come together as one!!
Yep. we're sharing generators and power here in the neighborhood.
Only God is strong you are wicked and weak
@@ahmedaminemejri6226 Nope, God does not make mistakes.
Although it goes against how American suburbs are built but it should be denser (like in Europe) and build to last.
I really thought all those tornadoes would bring forth some kind of ingenuity regarding how to build but it's more of the opposite;
Cheap buildings (I can't believe that building collapsed like Mikado sticks), easy to replace.
If this is only the beginning of such events, cities like Houston have to change their infrastructure drastically or in 5 years time cities won't be able to can't keep up with repairs. I hope cities and states take this as a warning.
Prepare as good as you can for the next hurricane season 😕💪
The real damage was to power transmission lines; the same towers are used everywhere.
Remember when these storm stories were huge stories, every once in a while? Does it seem like these extreme weather events are happening more frequently? Asking for a friend.
Yes the weather is much worse! In these times the weather is being man ipu lated, or wea pon ized. Research
H A A R P you'll be amazed, they can even make Aurora's. That's what's being admitted, so imagine what else they can probably do, that their not talking about?
@@Deborah_7777 100%
yes its worse the statistical is very straightforward on that. so is the costs for the damages. and yes we have exrremly good reasons to believe this trend will continue. 2024will be a calm and cool year next to 2025, which will be a calm and cool year next to 2026. and so on. we know this because we have had a goodnunweestand7ngnof the underlaying mechanisms since 50 years now. and yes; its an effect of global warming. physics and reality does not cawa on iot whether you believe in it or not. it will march on regardless.
Texas has it’s own electrical grid .
We hadn't seen nothing yet. Summer isn't here yet, but we all know hot weather bring out the worst of weather
They need a wall I guess?
we still have no light and it pisses me off that all around us everybody has light. like seriously, but also i do know that a huge tree fell on top of cables and my neighbors slash lawyers office house as well the same tree
We need help in Houston somehow!!! ASAP... People are definitely going to starve or fall victim to the mosquitoes that are everywhere...a lot of grocery stores got destroyed!! There's no power so you can't buy mosquito spray.
Stop lying. There were no grocery stores destroyed
So sad
Thats crazy
In the old days we had FLORIDA ROOMS. Screen rooms to sleep in on summer nights. No electric needed.
I live in Houston. Derecho? Where do they keep coming up with these terms?
Yeah. So dumb. 😂
Derecho is Spanish for 'straight ahead'
It's a term that's existed for a long time but you don't hear much in the south; theyre more common in the midwest. They are large groups of thunderstorms that often travel hundreds of miles with sustained winds of hurricane speeds. I think to be classified as a derecho the thunderstorms have to start over land and have sustained winds of like 55 mph or more.
It's always been a thing lol but typically doesn't hit this area
@@brianvail9212 But "we" do not use that word and it's never been in the common language. What good is using a term that no one knows or uses?
Wonder how many EVs are on the road and how far is that walk to the job.
Summer Begins Thursday June 20th
It’s started in February at my house.
Nature will take care of us if we don't take care of it
WOW! I almost feel bad for them.
There is a tyrant cop that works for Madera police department that is following me around trying to ruin my life
move. Why surround yourself with bad people?
None of these devastations have come close to Hurricane Katrina New Orleans.
Biblical....
😂
It's just a derecho
So.
Damn terrible terrible. 😟
Isn’t this the same as a hurricane?
It was a derecho
@@ace1durago04 never heard that term.
@@judypasqualone3819it's a C shaped storm that produces straightline hurricane speed winds and moves rapidly.
Stand your ground 2A will protect you.
I hope so because law enforcement cannot be everywhere at all times. We have to protect ourselves, and not rely on others for this protection. Besides .... there still are cats in the trees for heavens sake!
This is just the beginning, but ya know the government prioritize funding war instead of climate change and its own country.
Gods Will
Fossil fuel companies greed.

Derecho? Who the hell came up with that as a description that people would know? That is the most unused and uncommon word ans using it to "describe" something is just ignorant.
Ignorant because you have never heard of it? Sounds like you are being ignorant
@@lordcarve Ignorant for a NEWS organization to use it when trying to convey information. You broadcast to the common language, not obscure words that are no longer in use.
Huh? Derecho is a common term used for weather, they’re intense straight line winds that can be sometimes comparable to a tornado, but over a wide area. Lots of people know and use the term, it just sounds like you refuse to take a few seconds and research 🤷🏾
@@jaylenjackson2403 " Derecho is a common term used for weather" No it's not. It's not common at all ( in the USA).
@@arthurfoyt6727 🤔 well - what do you call it?

Lose lose situation. Vote democrats in and crime becomes worse than it’s already is.
Houston has tons of “democrats” it doesn’t matter who’s in office, they are all corrupt.

global warming is marching on. this is the coolest and calmest summer we will remember....
What is with these bs political comments? I swear after every freaking tragedy, y'all will somehow find someway to make things political for NO reason. Grow up.
Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair. And it may be too late. And intelligent human beans are the cause of this. What’s next. Nature is trying to cool down this hot planet. Thank you for the sad video.Prepare for this hot summer on the way.
Wonder how many EVs are not on the road so how far is the walk to the job
I bet they'll be all about Government assistance now. You get what you vote for in Abbott.
Houston is a blue city though. At least one thing the blues and the reds of this city share is our discontent for people like you.
At least he’s not sending the funds to other countries.
He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
REPENT! Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No other name given under Heaven except His name to save mankind.
For God so love the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life. It is by believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that God has raised Christ from the dead.
Godblessyou people of God. Jesus Christ reigns forever!
Repent and turn away from sins. Jesus Christ is coming back to earth. Read your holy Bible and ask God for wisdom.
Sounds like hillary pushed a button
It looks like what humankind gets from throwing CO2 by the tons to the atmosphere for over a century.
That's the beauty of science. Chemistry, Physics and Climatology work independently from whatever happens in the politics of one country.
Repent Jesus is coming back
He's already here.

WTF does politics have to do with the damage and suffering? Go Away!
God or something is pissed at Abbott. He's a demon.
He is a good man. What ate you saying that????
God is mad at him that he didn't let women have a choice
Wrong
Could be, Abbott is a very negative hateful person, he's definitely bringing bad karma to Texas
@@terryowen6759 not true
Republicans fault
No vetoing there.
@@SallyHaniff wrong
Don't be such an A-Hole and blame weather on politics. People are suffering and some are dead.
Dang I didn't know Republicans controlled the weather like that!!!
