Meteorologist here and I can explain why this is happening. Normally weather patterns shift between El Niño and La Niña. If the waters off the coast of Ecuador are warm, and the waters north of Hawaii are cold, it is called El Niño. This means it’s monsoon season for the US. Very rainy mild year with milder wet winters and mild summers with more thunderstorms. La Niña is when the waters outside of Ecuador are cold and the waters north of Hawaii are warm causing the air to become dry around the US. This results in brutally hot and dry summers and snowy frigid winters. Some years between El Niño and La Niña we have Bi years which are neither and so the weather is typical. Hot summer cold winter. Then on very rare occasions every 30 years we have a super event that has no name where El Niño and La Niña are combined. You see El Niño has lots of tornadoes but but low hurricane amounts due to wind Shear. Tornadoes need wind shear but it kills hurricanes. La Niña lacks wind shear causing little amounts of tornadoes but tons of Hurricanes. We are currently in a super event year not seen since 1991. Right now the waters in Ecuador are warm and the water above Hawaii are also warm. This means large tornado outbreaks and hurricane outbreaks. There is so much going on in both the atmosphere and the ocean to cause all of this crazy weather. Because El Niño and La Niña are battling for supremacy right now, we are seeing warmer than normal waters around the Atlantic and pacific. Hurricanes need warm water to grow and the longer it tracks over warm water the stronger it becomes. This storm was caused due to a storm system in Africa being guided by the Saharan winds and pushed into the warm waters of the Atlantic. This tropical wave then gained steam as it moved west. During that time Texas was under a high pressure bubble which acts as a shield to deflect moisture away from it. Well that bubble moved east towards Mississippi allowing for a weak spot to form off the Texas coast. The high pressure bubble also created a vacuum which pulled the hurricane towards it causing it to crash into the south east coastline. If that bubble did not exist it would have moved closer to south Texas and Mexico. Interesting how air works like that. I hope that helps and please feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you, Kabir, for your concern. You're very kind. I'm in East Texas. My family is catching the rain bands right now. Winds are picking up. Hurricane season starts June 1 and runs through November (?). Please keep my daughter in your thoughts as she lives south of us in Houston. The wind doesn't frighten me. Hurricanes often spawn tornadoes. Those freak me out.
Yes it was a Catagory 5 as it approached Jamiaca. Terrible. But thankfully it went down to a Cat 1 when it hit us here along the coast. We were lucky it was close to Mexico and didn't go out into the middle of the Gulf of Mexico or more then likely would have picked up in strength again.
Hey Kabir, I’m a Houstonian and just endured 8 hours of 50 - 80 mph winds. I’m exhausted, no power and am just able to watch you. Not sure when the power will return. Anyway, I’m blessed to be able to sit and watch your great channel. Tomorrow starts clean up. I hope your day is amazing. 😊
Hope you've gotten your power back. We are some of the lucky ones that have. My in-laws still haven't gotten their power back, and Centerpoint-less said they estimate Saturday night before they get power.
Cat 1, don't wake up FL unless it's a 3 or higher. You'll be fine TX, loss of power? It will be up sooner then later. 1wk no power with a cat 5, 12hrs cat 3, 1 month with A/C that broke down, last July. Parts were held up at port overseas. I slept on tile floor in bathroom.
@@lilyz2156 this isn’t a competition. No one is fighting for who had/has it worse. I grew up here and have been through my fair share of hurricanes my entire life and they all suck. Except now I’m disabled and need power which has been out all day already. I’m sorry that what you’ve been through makes you feel tougher than everyone else and it’s not bad for them unless they can beat your experience. But I don’t look at it that way.
Hurricane season is June 1 to November 30. At noon on Monday the backside of Beryl has just now moved past our home just south of Houston. At least 2 million people are without power.
You should check out the 1900 storm that hit Galveston, Texas. It still stands as the worst natural disaster in US history. At the time Galveston Island was the wealthiest city west of the Mississippi River. More than 6000 people lost their lives on Galveston alone.
I've suggested this for him before too! It's a fascinating event to research. I have family that survived the storm by trying the women and children to poles, and those poles still exist today but have been moved to Sugarland. It's amazing how they had the technology to raise the island after the storm way back then, I have several books that talk about it and other books from the view of people that made it through the storm. Touring the mansions that made it through the storm is also very educational.
Hurricane season for the US Atlantic coast and Caribbean is June 1 to November 30 each year. The height of the season is normally August in the Gulf of Mexico and the waters around Florida. The height of the season for states further north on east coast is August and September. But mother nature doesn't always stay on that schedule. It's important to point out that hurricanes tend to come and go in cycles, where some years are worse than others. Some years you get many storms and in others almost nothing. From what I have read, this year is going to be active, but that doesn't mean the US is going to get hit with many hurricanes. It just means many tropical storms may form and then die out when they move into colder water away from land.
Here in San Antonio, we were hoping to get rain from the storm since it's been so dry. Beryl shifted, and now we're not getting any at all. I do hope everyone in the path is safe and that the winds aren't too destructive.
Once a storm reaches a certain size it gets named using a name in alphabetical order from A to Z. So Beryl is the second named storm of the year. In 2020 they went past Z and had to use Greek alphabet letters.
4:07 hurricanes in the Atlantic often begin as thunderstorms that move off the coast of Africa. These disturbances can develop into tropical storms or hurricanes if they encounter favorable conditions
I follow a guy named John Doyle on TT, who's on an oil rig out in the Gulf of Mexico. The owner of the rig refuses to evacuate them, saying if they detach the oil well to evacuate, they're cutting off all funding for their food and pay. John is keeping people updated as much as he can. Thursday morning, they had a meeting, and the one boss that voted to evacuate was fired, and they now have a new boss as of Friday/Saturday. No word from him yet today, I hope he and his coworkers survive. _Edit:_ Update- 7/9 They're still on the oil rig, semi-joking/hoping Godzilla emerges from the deep and takes them out before the storm does. 🌊🐲
Im I-10 somewhere between Katy and downtown. As far as Hurricanes go, this one is fairly calm for the hit to Texas. It hit as a 1 for us, the poor islands had it when it was a 5. Luckily I still have power but all the roads are flooded. This is going to be an active season for sure.
It came ashore as a Cat 1 storm, we have power outages down there on the coast. Hurricane season runs from June into November. One things for sure, it has brought cool weather up here in North Texas.
I'm from the Houston area, almost near Pearland, and the storm is going on right now as we speak. My mother's side of the family has some family in Barbados as well. Yeah, I remember watching how windy Hurricane Ike was and how much water Hurricane Harvey had unleashed. I heard that it might come down to a Category 1 or a tropical storm level.......hopefully.....
I live in Houston. Beryl came through fairly rough. We’ve been in cat 1, 2 &3 hurricanes over the years. Beryl didn’t have a lot of rain, or lightening, but the winds tore up our oak trees pretty bad, and a huge branch fell broken point down onto our front deck. It broke some major boards, then took out the railing (2x6s)! I was in the room right inside from where it fell, and it sounded like a car had crashed into the house. I took off running outside to look. 😮 It’s beautiful out now though. Thanks for the well wishes. Love your channel Kabir.
I live in the Rockport, TX area. For sveral days, it looked like Beryl was going to make landfall here so we were prepared. Evacuation orders were issued Saturday and a lot of businesses closed Sunday and Monday. Saturday night it took the turn to the north towards Port Lavaca and has almost missed us completely. Even though we get advanced notice on these storms they are still very unpredictable.
He's reporting outside because that is his job. He knows the risks and he knew that when he was hired. You do not report on weather from inside a building, you must go outside.
If I'm not mistaken, Thomas Edison filmed the destruction of Galveston after the hurricane that went through in 1900. It's one of the earliest films of such a terrible disasters' aftermath. Obviously, weather forecasting at the time was not nearly as indepth as it is today, (no satellites). The devastation of the 1900 hurricane, prompted the construction of the seawall on Galveston island. Before the storm hit, there were some people that predicted a bad storm coming by monitoring the barometric pressure and such. Unfortunately, most people on the island underestimated the tremendous strength of the storm, hence, very few of them evacuated. The sheer number of people that perished, (approx. 6,000), and the amount of destruction, had never been seen before in America. It's still the worst natural disaster in American history.
Kabir just so you know, every time a hurricane makes landfall in the US, we always see these weathermen and ladies standing out in these conditions giving a report. Like they say it is not that the wind is blowing, it is what the wind is blowing. Things like road signs, tree limbs etc.
I am in Arkansas and it will come through here, Heavy rain and flooding starts in about 2 hrs. Reed Timmer was on the coast as it came in and is gonna switch to tornado chase mode.
I live in Michigan. While we don't get hurricanes up here we still do feel the remnants of one. In fact we are to get the rain from Beryl that starts Tuesday night and continues all day Wednesday and are supposed to receive 2-4 inches of rain.
I grew up in Houston experiencing several hurricanes . I My best friend is there in Houston & her power is off -no electricity & her tree just fell on roof with a live wire in the yard ..effects of the wind
As of 10:42am we're experiencing a severe weather storm and we have been without power for a few hours and Good know when they will restore it. We will brave the storm as we always have 🙏
I am in Hitchcock, Tx. We just endured hours of 80+ winds and rain from Beryl. Massive trees decades old were blown down. Some had trees on top of their cars, and some had structural damage to their homes. No power for several days in extreme heat.
If you want to see a closer view of the storms, there are wonderful storm chasers who post their videos on tube and other platforms. Let us know if you want recommendations, we all have our favorites
I am right on the edge of the storm right now. (Im in southwestern Louisiana). One thing is for sure though, I'm keeping a close eye on the weather today.
I’m in Conroe Texas, right in the middle of it. Winds gusting up to 63 mph. No Hurricane season started a month ago. I live in a RV. Not going to lie, I’m nervous.
Houstonian here, just got power back after 38 hours without, so I’m just seeing your video. Massive tree damage all over our area. A dead tree in our back yard toppled on our kids swingset, but no other major damage. Didn’t really flood in my area (south of nrg stadium), but it flooded on the other side of the stadium. I’m just happy to have AC and WiFi back!
JUNE 1st, starts Hurricane Season - NATIONAL YELLOW RADIO DAY. [ a day dedicated to spreading the word to Be Prepared.( make sure you have plenty of dry/canned foods, drinking water, flashlight Batteries, and a RADIO, etc. fuel for vehicles in case of Evacuation orders.]. 📻🙂
The eye passed about 2 miles east of me, I was on the dirty side. Lost power just before 5 am yesterday and still have no power. There is a tree laying on the powerline 8 or 10 houses down the street, so until that's removed, we won't get power back. They are just waiting on the tree service to come, but can't give a timeframe for when our power will be restored. 90% of my family and coworkers have had their power restored. I had 80+ mph sustained winds, a possible tornado touched down about 2 miles down the road from me and was headed straight at me, but thankfully turned off right outside of my neighborhood, so I'm pretty sure I got some 100+ mph winds during that time. Got 8" of rain but no flooding. (13" total in a 24 hour period because we got early rainbands) We only got cell phone service back this morning, so after the storm went through, we had no way of knowing how anyone else was doing or to let people know we were ok. Still don't have our house internet back, so we are just using our phones. I went through the freeze a few years ago, so I have beefed up my storm supplies, and we have a generator and gas and food and water to last for days. Even have a window ac unit to take the edge off the heat inside. It's not a comfortable experience, but we are not in as bad a situation as others.
I'm in the area where it was supposed to land. It's bittersweet because while I didn't get hit, I know that many others are having to deal with this. In south Texas we are pretty used to hurricanes and we know how to prepare for one.
My town was in the direct path of the remnants of Beryl. As it moved through Arkansas, it spawned 5 tornadoes, and Saline county got 6 inches of rain overnight.
A Cat 1 is a very minor hurricane. Mostly rain and the storm surge at the coast. Texas does tend to have flash floods, but all in all, they dodged a bullet. The islands in the Caribbean bore the brunt of this storms fury as a Cat 5.
Atlantic hurricanes start in either the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, or off the coast of Africa. Warm water is what it takes to start a hurricane. All the bodies of water are very warm now and will remain warm until well into November.
We're getting a lot of wind & rain in SW Louisiana ATM. This time last week, my family and I were in Galveston getting on a cruise ship. So glad we went when we did. Everyone stay safe and remember generators go outside!!!
Beryl was *much* more powerful in Jamaica and when it hit Mexico's Yucatan Peninusla (big peninsula jutting up between the Gulf and the Caribbean). As of 9:04 am Central Time, winds near the eye are 75mph - barely above the hurricane threshold, so comparatively mild. It's gonna cause a bit of inland flooding in E. TX, possibly up to Indiana.
Hurricane Season is typically June 1st to November 30th. Though Tropical development can occur at any time of the year. And in history we have had Tropical development within every month in a year, the least of which is in February and March.
I live about 170 miles north of Houston and we got hard rain and decent winds all day today. Not bad winds, about 20-30MPH winds, but windy enough considering how far we are from Houston
Hurricane season starts June 1 until November. I remember hurricane season only lasting 3-4 months, but now it's 6 months. Usually nore active in August and September, but this year is different. Its predicted to be one of the busiest seasons.
I heard that some people want to reorganize the system used to categorize hurricanes. There are so few category 1 & 2 storms, and the category 5 storms just keep getting stronger!
Surprisingly we didn’t loose power but it did sound like our house was about to blow away. We live in Baytown TX which is outside of Houston and not far from the coast. The sounds and winds were INSANE. I’m glad it’s over…..and…as of right now at 7:03 pm it’s sunny and beautiful.
Just got power back in Houston from Beryl. Been out for almost 8 hours, back yard fence is down, & our tree is everywhere but no flooding so I’ll take it. Those winds were insane
Houstonian here and I'm still without power. Food will be a total loss in the deep freezer and fridge unfortunately. Family started feeling sick in the heat so we packed up and went to a hotel (but all close ones seem to be booked so went to Austin 😅). And it was only a tropical storm by the time the eye went over my house (70 mph wind). Hurricane season is from June 1st until mid Nov. What you do for a hurricane in part depends on how close you are to the coast and how powerful the storm is. You always want to fill the bathtub with water for flushing and bathing/cleaning. You need bottles of safe drinking water to drink and to brush teeth enough for all people and pets (about 1 gallon per day per person and animal) for at least a weeks worth but having 2 weeks or more is even more ideal (takes a while for stores to catch up stock. Even when I get back it's going to be tricky to buy everything I lost. Usually takes at least a month for stores to totally get back to normal). Food for at least 2 weeks is also ideal (food that you dont need to heat in particular. Also depends on if you have a camping stove or what). Might need sand bags and board up windows... And so on. Also beware of trees that could fall on the house. Seem to lose people that way every time and this storm was no different. When I was a kid after hurricane ike my house was without power for 5 weeks (and that also means no running water) that storm was in September and almost cat 3...
I live in Lufkin which is north of Houston about 1-2 hours away and we got some major wind from this and they have confirmed 9 tornadoes around east Texas so far. There were 67 tornado warnings for that day it was over us that were sent out by the NWS. Hurricane season goes from June to late November
San Antonio resident here! Looks like it hit a bit further north than originally anticipated. My cousin and his family are in Corpus Christie and said the storm pretty much went around them; he's just now unboarding his windows. Now I have to worry about another cousin in College Station. Prayers for everyone in its path!
I’m here in Houston, and luckily we only lost power and sustained a little damage to our yard. Other people have it much worse. We’re currently still without power but we’re using a generator. My cell phone didn’t work properly until late last night. This was a category 1 hurricane, but hearing the wind that strong was scary. The night before we had a tornado warning, so I was up all night just in case. I just discovered your channel this morning when you were talking about the Texas freeze of 2021. I’ll check out some more of your videos.
I am in Houston near Sugarland. There were fierce winds sunday night and my power was out for 37 hours. Rained and branches came down from my trees but at least it was cooler during the hurricane. After it passed it was almost 100 degrees and anyone without power was roasting. Power is still out for some. So much suffering.
It's Wednesday after Beryl. I live in Texas, north Houston, Texas. Beryl wasn't too bad. More strong winds and heavy rainstorm. Lost power Monday 5am. Power restored 2am Wednesday.
Hurricane season runs from June 1st thru Nov 30th. I live in Florida, most of the time its quiet in June, July we start seeing them pop up, but by August is when we really have to keep an eye out because this is when we usually see the strong storms, some pass us by & others hit the state. Sept can be bad as well. By October they have mostly died down & then Nov is mostly quiet.
As of 10:42 am on Monday July 2024 we're experiencing a severe weather storm and we have been without power for a few hours and God know when they will restore it. We will brave the storm as we always have 🙏
Hurricane season lasts for 6 months. I call it "anxiety season". Last year there were 20 named storms, 7 of which grew to hurricane strength. Three of those hit Florida. Hurricane Ian was a category 5 when it hit near Fort Myers. Some years we have gotten just tropical storms that made landfall, no hurricanes. This year it's started early. That doesn't mean we will get hit with more hurricanes than usual. There are many factors that drive a hurricane. Some are conducive to strengthening the storm others that weaken it. High pressure areas and low pressure areas as well as the jet stream navigate a hurricane on its path. This is the time of year when we watch the tropics forecast on our local weather stations daily to see what's developing for the upcoming 1-2 weeks. Last year was stressful. This year might be worse.
June 1st is the start of Hurricane season and ends November 30th. I live in the Northwest suburbs of Houston. The wind was BONKERS!!! For hours and LOTS of rain! Power went out this morning at 8:05 am and was restored at 2:26 PM. Very lucky. Millions without power at the worst and thousands will be without power thru this weekend. Bad news. 😞 The temps will be in the high 90's Fahrenheit and VERY humid. Yuck.
I'm in Houston and this is the 4th day I (and many many more) are still without power. It's incredibly hot. The heat index is 103° (40° Celsius) where I am right now at 11 am and it'll get warmer over the next couple hours. 3 million people were without power in the Houston area, I don't know how many are still without but I worry for sick and elderly people in this heat 😔. I've been looking for food for days, finally found some an hour away. Not everyone can drive all over, especially with gas hard to find. I hope to have power back in the next day or two but it could be another 2-3 weeks so the death toll will rise 💔
I just watched your video about Texas Winter Storm Yuri and the failures of our state government, ERCOT, energy companies. I am currently on day 5 without power since a tree destroyed my house generator, but it missed my house. Earliest "estimate" when we will get power is Monday at 5p. That's over a week since Hurricane Beryl hit. Again my wife and son are across the street at her parents property. I'll edit after the video.
I watched the landfall early this morning around 4. I was watching Ryan Hall’s channel. The chasers he’s associated with were there in full force. About a dozen of them up and down the coast and a couple other experts. He does with tornadoes also live.
it was a constant barage of wind and rain. With stronger bursts of wind tossed in for good measure. Lots of water and the constant howl of the wind. Fortunately we were able to survive the direct hit without too much damage besides lots of downed tree limbs.
We lost power Monday at 6:45 AM, as of Wednesday at 8pm we got power some residents here still don't have power yet. 95°F or 35°C. We have linemen (the people that work on power lines) from other states coming out to help us. A total of 2.3 millions lost power.
We still have no electricity and they said it might be another eight days before we get any electricity from the time. I’m writing this message also no Internet and it’s 100° weather with hundred percent humidity. It came through so fast and left so fast but lots of damage throughout the city of Houston, Texas.
From Shoreacres, TX, and we faired ok. But our fence is gone, our shed is gone, and we still don't have power as of now. Hopefully we'll get power soon. Hotter than hell here!
We lost power here in Missouri City at 4am, still no electricity since that morning. Cell phone service has been down as well. I don’t know when we will get power back, it might take maybe a few days or so because Centerpoint Energy hasn’t restored anything yet.
I'm in Conroe Texas and it hit us hard but no where near as bad as the Carribean. Unfortunately, there have been 2 deaths in Texas so far. We have no power, but thankfully we have a whole house generator so my family will get through this a little easier. We've got tree limbs down but no serious damage. Hope my fellow Texans stay safe.
Kabir you recently have been reacting to some tragic events. This is the latest in one of those so unfortunate events. Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson among three killed in Maryland car crash. This was just a horrific crash with one of the cars reported to have been traveling about 90 MPH. He was just signed to the team, but never got to play before this event.
My brother texted me early this a.m. He lives just SW of Houston, said they had lost power. He has land in Brazilian County the meteorologist mentioned, but they can’t get down there yet to see how much damage, if any, there is to the cabin there.
Houston here. Lots of rain and wind, but it wasn't too bad. The bad part came when the electricity went out late that Sunday night. The next day was awful. I felt like I was melting in our apartment. We got lucky and got the last hotel room in a hotel fairly close to us. Houston's population is 7.5 million, 2.7 million lost power. I think there are still a quarter of million still without power. You never want to be without power in Houston. It can be deadly.
Official hurricaine season is from June to November. 6 months. But the brunt of the season is typically late July to mid November. This a weak hurrcaine category 1 but still dangerous. My mom's house lost the patio cover in the backyard. Ripped off the roof eaves. 2 million people reported without electricity/power right now.
Hurricanes start from the heat of the Sahara and goes through West Africa, starts forming the East Atlantic and then works its way across the Atlantic. Warmer ocean temps create stronger storms.
We just had our power restored last night around midnight. Thank goodness my nephew's boss loaned us a generator. Mom's on oxygen and I have trouble breathing when I get too hot. Lost tin off the roof to gale force winds and trees uprooted by a possible tropical tornado.

Thank you! I had never heard of the combined years. That explains a lot.❤️🤗🐝
Hurricane season generally June 1 to about November 30. This is the earliest Category 5 hurricane in recorded history.
Also the strongest sustained winds of any hurricane in history and the earliest Category 4 as well
This season is gonna be nuts.
Yes it was a Catagory 5 as it approached Jamiaca. Terrible. But thankfully it went down to a Cat 1 when it hit us here along the coast. We were lucky it was close to Mexico and didn't go out into the middle of the Gulf of Mexico or more then likely would have picked up in strength again.

Hope you've gotten your power back. We are some of the lucky ones that have. My in-laws still haven't gotten their power back, and Centerpoint-less said they estimate Saturday night before they get power.
I’m in Texas and it’s coming through here now. Thanks for the well wishes
Right now? Jebus! Good luck. Don't respond save your battery just in case.
After, I’ll be looking for your update. Let us know you made it through okay.🙏🙏

Cat 1, don't wake up FL unless it's a 3 or higher. You'll be fine TX, loss of power? It will be up sooner then later. 1wk no power with a cat 5, 12hrs cat 3, 1 month with A/C that broke down, last July. Parts were held up at port overseas. I slept on tile floor in bathroom.
South of Houston here, storm is past us. Fared okay. Lots of people without power and phone service. 13:20 (1:20).
@@lilyz2156 this isn’t a competition. No one is fighting for who had/has it worse. I grew up here and have been through my fair share of hurricanes my entire life and they all suck.

I’m sorry that what you’ve been through makes you feel tougher than everyone else and it’s not bad for them unless they can beat your experience. But I don’t look at it that way.
Hurricane season is June 1 to November 30. At noon on Monday the backside of Beryl has just now moved past our home just south of Houston. At least 2 million people are without power.
You should check out the 1900 storm that hit Galveston, Texas. It still stands as the worst natural disaster in US history. At the time Galveston Island was the wealthiest city west of the Mississippi River. More than 6000 people lost their lives on Galveston alone.

Hurricane season for the US Atlantic coast and Caribbean is June 1 to November 30 each year. The height of the season is normally August in the Gulf of Mexico and the waters around Florida. The height of the season for states further north on east coast is August and September. But mother nature doesn't always stay on that schedule. It's important to point out that hurricanes tend to come and go in cycles, where some years are worse than others. Some years you get many storms and in others almost nothing. From what I have read, this year is going to be active, but that doesn't mean the US is going to get hit with many hurricanes. It just means many tropical storms may form and then die out when they move into colder water away from land.
This is the strongest Hurricane ever this early in the season.
I’m in Tomball to the northwest of Houston. We lost power. Roads flooded. 60 mph wind gusts.
🙏🙏
Here in San Antonio, we were hoping to get rain from the storm since it's been so dry. Beryl shifted, and now we're not getting any at all. I do hope everyone in the path is safe and that the winds aren't too destructive.
Once a storm reaches a certain size it gets named using a name in alphabetical order from A to Z. So Beryl is the second named storm of the year. In 2020 they went past Z and had to use Greek alphabet letters.
They actually don’t give names for X Y Z for some reason so after W it’s Greek letters
4:07 hurricanes in the Atlantic often begin as thunderstorms that move off the coast of Africa. These disturbances can develop into tropical storms or hurricanes if they encounter favorable conditions
I follow a guy named John Doyle on TT, who's on an oil rig out in the Gulf of Mexico. The owner of the rig refuses to evacuate them, saying if they detach the oil well to evacuate, they're cutting off all funding for their food and pay.
John is keeping people updated as much as he can.
Thursday morning, they had a meeting, and the one boss that voted to evacuate was fired, and they now have a new boss as of Friday/Saturday.
No word from him yet today, I hope he and his coworkers survive.
_Edit:_
Update- 7/9 They're still on the oil rig, semi-joking/hoping Godzilla emerges from the deep and takes them out before the storm does. 🌊🐲
Im I-10 somewhere between Katy and downtown. As far as Hurricanes go, this one is fairly calm for the hit to Texas. It hit as a 1 for us, the poor islands had it when it was a 5.
Luckily I still have power but all the roads are flooded.
This is going to be an active season for sure.
It came ashore as a Cat 1 storm, we have power outages down there on the coast. Hurricane season runs from June into November. One things for sure, it has brought cool weather up here in North Texas.
I'm from the Houston area, almost near Pearland, and the storm is going on right now as we speak. My mother's side of the family has some family in Barbados as well. Yeah, I remember watching how windy Hurricane Ike was and how much water Hurricane Harvey had unleashed. I heard that it might come down to a Category 1 or a tropical storm level.......hopefully.....
I’m northeast of you. Hitting here now as well.
Hurricane season starts June 1st. This is just a little stronger for this time of year.
I live in Houston. Beryl came through fairly rough. We’ve been in cat 1, 2 &3 hurricanes over the years. Beryl didn’t have a lot of rain, or lightening, but the winds tore up our oak trees pretty bad, and a huge branch fell broken point down onto our front deck. It broke some major boards, then took out the railing (2x6s)! I was in the room right inside from where it fell, and it sounded like a car had crashed into the house. I took off running outside to look. 😮 It’s beautiful out now though. Thanks for the well wishes. Love your channel Kabir.
I am in Houston Texas. It’s here, my power been off since 5Am CST. Heavy wind and rain in my area. I am in North Houston. Worst in other areas.
I'm in Texas, but I'm in the Dallas Fort Worth area. We'll get some heavy rainfall and wind, but that's likely all we'll see. Hopefully.
Dodged it in Corpus Christi. But everyone had been on edge
I live in the Rockport, TX area. For sveral days, it looked like Beryl was going to make landfall here so we were prepared. Evacuation orders were issued Saturday and a lot of businesses closed Sunday and Monday. Saturday night it took the turn to the north towards Port Lavaca and has almost missed us completely. Even though we get advanced notice on these storms they are still very unpredictable.
My fence have collapsed this storm is no joke there already been one confirmed death here. Update just got my power back it took 7 days.
5th. gen.SW Floridian here. For my entir life, hurricane watching is just a part of our life.
He's reporting outside because that is his job. He knows the risks and he knew that when he was hired. You do not report on weather from inside a building, you must go outside.
If I'm not mistaken, Thomas Edison filmed the destruction of Galveston after the hurricane that went through in 1900. It's one of the earliest films of such a terrible disasters' aftermath.
Obviously, weather forecasting at the time was not nearly as indepth as it is today, (no satellites). The devastation of the 1900 hurricane, prompted the construction of the seawall on Galveston island.
Before the storm hit, there were some people that predicted a bad storm coming by monitoring the barometric pressure and such. Unfortunately, most people on the island underestimated the tremendous strength of the storm, hence, very few of them evacuated. The sheer number of people that perished, (approx. 6,000), and the amount of destruction, had never been seen before in America. It's still the worst natural disaster in American history.
I'm not even in Texas and we're getting a good bit of rain from this storm. I feel for the people in its path.
I feel like Kabir is my dad, and he just got home from work and turned my cartoons to the news.
Kabir just so you know, every time a hurricane makes landfall in the US, we always see these weathermen and ladies standing out in these conditions giving a report. Like they say it is not that the wind is blowing, it is what the wind is blowing. Things like road signs, tree limbs etc.
I am in Arkansas and it will come through here, Heavy rain and flooding starts in about 2 hrs. Reed Timmer was on the coast as it came in and is gonna switch to tornado chase mode.
I only got a glace from Beyrl when it passed my island last week. (Trinidad)
We got off easy
I’m in Orange County TX there is a lot of rain but pray for South TX
Powers out
I live in Michigan. While we don't get hurricanes up here we still do feel the remnants of one. In fact we are to get the rain from Beryl that starts Tuesday night and continues all day Wednesday and are supposed to receive 2-4 inches of rain.
Hurricane season is June 1-November 30.. Hurricanes form when wind moves over warm water. They start in Africa.
Some systems start off Africa. Others can start right in the Gulf of Mexico. There were many tornadoes from this storm
I grew up in Houston experiencing several hurricanes . I
My best friend is there in Houston & her power is off -no electricity & her tree just fell on roof with a live wire in the yard ..effects of the wind
As of 10:42am we're experiencing a severe weather storm and we have been without power for a few hours and Good know when they will restore it. We will brave the storm as we always have 🙏
It’s actually pretty calm here in Austen. Just a tiny bit of wind.
I am in Hitchcock, Tx. We just endured hours of 80+ winds and rain from Beryl. Massive trees decades old were blown down. Some had trees on top of their cars, and some had structural damage to their homes. No power for several days in extreme heat.
I'm in Galveston County. No structural damage, but lots of trees down
If you want to see a closer view of the storms, there are wonderful storm chasers who post their videos on tube and other platforms. Let us know if you want recommendations, we all have our favorites
I am right on the edge of the storm right now. (Im in southwestern Louisiana). One thing is for sure though, I'm keeping a close eye on the weather today.
I’m in Conroe Texas, right in the middle of it. Winds gusting up to 63 mph. No Hurricane season started a month ago. I live in a RV. Not going to lie, I’m nervous.
Be safe. I hope you fare the storm well.
How are you doing? Praying for you.
@@Durenda-dw7bp Yes, I've been concerned about how you fared the storm! Please let us know how you're doing once you're safe and able.
@@Kelli.B. , I made it through, by the Grace of God. No damage to my RV either. I did an awful lot of Praying though. And thank you.
@Durenda-dw7bp So glad to hear it! And I did some praying, too!
Howdy from Dallas. For us in North Texas it’s brought some much needed rain and drop in temperatures from 100-104 to mid 80’s
Houstonian here, just got power back after 38 hours without, so I’m just seeing your video. Massive tree damage all over our area. A dead tree in our back yard toppled on our kids swingset, but no other major damage. Didn’t really flood in my area (south of nrg stadium), but it flooded on the other side of the stadium. I’m just happy to have AC and WiFi back!
JUNE 1st, starts Hurricane Season - NATIONAL YELLOW RADIO DAY. [ a day dedicated to spreading the word to Be Prepared.( make sure you have plenty of dry/canned foods, drinking water, flashlight Batteries, and a RADIO, etc. fuel for vehicles in case of Evacuation orders.].
📻🙂
I’m in Austin so I’m watching this one closely.
The eye passed about 2 miles east of me, I was on the dirty side. Lost power just before 5 am yesterday and still have no power. There is a tree laying on the powerline 8 or 10 houses down the street, so until that's removed, we won't get power back. They are just waiting on the tree service to come, but can't give a timeframe for when our power will be restored. 90% of my family and coworkers have had their power restored. I had 80+ mph sustained winds, a possible tornado touched down about 2 miles down the road from me and was headed straight at me, but thankfully turned off right outside of my neighborhood, so I'm pretty sure I got some 100+ mph winds during that time. Got 8" of rain but no flooding. (13" total in a 24 hour period because we got early rainbands) We only got cell phone service back this morning, so after the storm went through, we had no way of knowing how anyone else was doing or to let people know we were ok. Still don't have our house internet back, so we are just using our phones.
I went through the freeze a few years ago, so I have beefed up my storm supplies, and we have a generator and gas and food and water to last for days. Even have a window ac unit to take the edge off the heat inside. It's not a comfortable experience, but we are not in as bad a situation as others.
I'm in the area where it was supposed to land. It's bittersweet because while I didn't get hit, I know that many others are having to deal with this. In south Texas we are pretty used to hurricanes and we know how to prepare for one.
My town was in the direct path of the remnants of Beryl. As it moved through Arkansas, it spawned 5 tornadoes, and Saline county got 6 inches of rain overnight.
Hurricane season begins June 1. It's just we don't usually have storms ths big this early.
A Cat 1 is a very minor hurricane. Mostly rain and the storm surge at the coast. Texas does tend to have flash floods, but all in all, they dodged a bullet. The islands in the Caribbean bore the brunt of this storms fury as a Cat 5.
Atlantic hurricanes start in either the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, or off the coast of Africa. Warm water is what it takes to start a hurricane. All the bodies of water are very warm now and will remain warm until well into November.
We're getting a lot of wind & rain in SW Louisiana ATM. This time last week, my family and I were in Galveston getting on a cruise ship. So glad we went when we did. Everyone stay safe and remember generators go outside!!!
Beryl was *much* more powerful in Jamaica and when it hit Mexico's Yucatan Peninusla (big peninsula jutting up between the Gulf and the Caribbean).
As of 9:04 am Central Time, winds near the eye are 75mph - barely above the hurricane threshold, so comparatively mild. It's gonna cause a bit of inland flooding in E. TX, possibly up to Indiana.
Hurricane Season is typically June 1st to November 30th. Though Tropical development can occur at any time of the year. And in history we have had Tropical development within every month in a year, the least of which is in February and March.
I’m in it here in Houston. Two big palm trees snapped in half outside my house.
Live in Central Texas - prayers for the homies on the Texas coast
I live about 170 miles north of Houston and we got hard rain and decent winds all day today. Not bad winds, about 20-30MPH winds, but windy enough considering how far we are from Houston
Hurricane season starts June 1 until November. I remember hurricane season only lasting 3-4 months, but now it's 6 months. Usually nore active in August and September, but this year is different. Its predicted to be one of the busiest seasons.
I'm just glad its not an east coast hurricane. but those will probably be raging later on in the season. september-november maybe
I heard that some people want to reorganize the system used to categorize hurricanes. There are so few category 1 & 2 storms, and the category 5 storms just keep getting stronger!
Surprisingly we didn’t loose power but it did sound like our house was about to blow away. We live in Baytown TX which is outside of Houston and not far from the coast. The sounds and winds were INSANE. I’m glad it’s over…..and…as of right now at 7:03 pm it’s sunny and beautiful.
Just got power back in Houston from Beryl. Been out for almost 8 hours, back yard fence is down, & our tree is everywhere but no flooding so I’ll take it. Those winds were insane
Houstonian here and I'm still without power. Food will be a total loss in the deep freezer and fridge unfortunately. Family started feeling sick in the heat so we packed up and went to a hotel (but all close ones seem to be booked so went to Austin 😅). And it was only a tropical storm by the time the eye went over my house (70 mph wind).
Hurricane season is from June 1st until mid Nov. What you do for a hurricane in part depends on how close you are to the coast and how powerful the storm is. You always want to fill the bathtub with water for flushing and bathing/cleaning. You need bottles of safe drinking water to drink and to brush teeth enough for all people and pets (about 1 gallon per day per person and animal) for at least a weeks worth but having 2 weeks or more is even more ideal (takes a while for stores to catch up stock. Even when I get back it's going to be tricky to buy everything I lost. Usually takes at least a month for stores to totally get back to normal). Food for at least 2 weeks is also ideal (food that you dont need to heat in particular. Also depends on if you have a camping stove or what). Might need sand bags and board up windows... And so on. Also beware of trees that could fall on the house. Seem to lose people that way every time and this storm was no different.
When I was a kid after hurricane ike my house was without power for 5 weeks (and that also means no running water) that storm was in September and almost cat 3...
4:06 yes, but water temperature plays a huge role!!
I live in Lufkin which is north of Houston about 1-2 hours away and we got some major wind from this and they have confirmed 9 tornadoes around east Texas so far. There were 67 tornado warnings for that day it was over us that were sent out by the NWS. Hurricane season goes from June to late November
San Antonio resident here! Looks like it hit a bit further north than originally anticipated. My cousin and his family are in Corpus Christie and said the storm pretty much went around them; he's just now unboarding his windows. Now I have to worry about another cousin in College Station. Prayers for everyone in its path!
I’m here in Houston, and luckily we only lost power and sustained a little damage to our yard. Other people have it much worse. We’re currently still without power but we’re using a generator. My cell phone didn’t work properly until late last night. This was a category 1 hurricane, but hearing the wind that strong was scary. The night before we had a tornado warning, so I was up all night just in case.
I just discovered your channel this morning when you were talking about the Texas freeze of 2021. I’ll check out some more of your videos.
I am in Houston near Sugarland. There were fierce winds sunday night and my power was out for 37 hours. Rained and branches came down from my trees
but at least it was cooler during the hurricane. After it passed it was almost 100 degrees and anyone without power was roasting. Power is still out for some. So much suffering.
Hurricanes are formed when warm moist air and converging winds meet over the ocean, usually in the gulf of mexico and the Atlantic ocean.
It's Wednesday after Beryl. I live in Texas, north Houston, Texas. Beryl wasn't too bad. More strong winds and heavy rainstorm. Lost power Monday 5am. Power restored 2am Wednesday.
Hurricane season runs from June 1st thru Nov 30th. I live in Florida, most of the time its quiet in June, July we start seeing them pop up, but by August is when we really have to keep an eye out because this is when we usually see the strong storms, some pass us by & others hit the state. Sept can be bad as well. By October they have mostly died down & then Nov is mostly quiet.
I live in the Houston area and I still have family, friends & coworkers still without power and it’s been about 3 days since the storm has passed.
As of 10:42 am on Monday July 2024 we're experiencing a severe weather storm and we have been without power for a few hours and God know when they will restore it. We will brave the storm as we always have 🙏
It made landfall here about 3am. Lost my power about 5am, and have numerous trees completely uprooted.
Houstonian here. Just got the power on. 14 hours out - not too bad. The deracho we had in May was 4 days power off and much scarier.
2:30 😂 look up Ryan Marshall give the snarkiest, most direct fed up on location weather report ever!!!! 😂😂😂
Hurricane season lasts for 6 months. I call it "anxiety season". Last year there were 20 named storms, 7 of which grew to hurricane strength. Three of those hit Florida. Hurricane Ian was a category 5 when it hit near Fort Myers. Some years we have gotten just tropical storms that made landfall, no hurricanes. This year it's started early. That doesn't mean we will get hit with more hurricanes than usual. There are many factors that drive a hurricane. Some are conducive to strengthening the storm others that weaken it. High pressure areas and low pressure areas as well as the jet stream navigate a hurricane on its path. This is the time of year when we watch the tropics forecast on our local weather stations daily to see what's developing for the upcoming 1-2 weeks. Last year was stressful. This year might be worse.
June 1st is the start of Hurricane season and ends November 30th. I live in the Northwest suburbs of Houston. The wind was BONKERS!!! For hours and LOTS of rain! Power went out this morning at 8:05 am and was restored at 2:26 PM. Very lucky. Millions without power at the worst and thousands will be without power thru this weekend. Bad news. 😞 The temps will be in the high 90's Fahrenheit and VERY humid. Yuck.
I'm in Houston and this is the 4th day I (and many many more) are still without power. It's incredibly hot. The heat index is 103° (40° Celsius) where I am right now at 11 am and it'll get warmer over the next couple hours. 3 million people were without power in the Houston area, I don't know how many are still without but I worry for sick and elderly people in this heat 😔. I've been looking for food for days, finally found some an hour away. Not everyone can drive all over, especially with gas hard to find. I hope to have power back in the next day or two but it could be another 2-3 weeks so the death toll will rise 💔
It does seem like they don’t value their meteorologists much. I’ve always been surprised.
I just watched your video about Texas Winter Storm Yuri and the failures of our state government, ERCOT, energy companies.
I am currently on day 5 without power since a tree destroyed my house generator, but it missed my house.
Earliest "estimate" when we will get power is Monday at 5p.
That's over a week since Hurricane Beryl hit.
Again my wife and son are across the street at her parents property.
I'll edit after the video.
I watched the landfall early this morning around 4. I was watching Ryan Hall’s channel. The chasers he’s associated with were there in full force. About a dozen of them up and down the coast and a couple other experts. He does with tornadoes also live.
it was a constant barage of wind and rain. With stronger bursts of wind tossed in for good measure. Lots of water and the constant howl of the wind. Fortunately we were able to survive the direct hit without too much damage besides lots of downed tree limbs.
We lost power Monday at 6:45 AM, as of Wednesday at 8pm we got power some residents here still don't have power yet. 95°F or 35°C. We have linemen (the people that work on power lines) from other states coming out to help us. A total of 2.3 millions lost power.
We still have no electricity and they said it might be another eight days before we get any electricity from the time. I’m writing this message also no Internet and it’s 100° weather with hundred percent humidity. It came through so fast and left so fast but lots of damage throughout the city of Houston, Texas.
Hurricane season starts June 1st and ends November 1st the islands in the Grenadines and St Vincent have been demolished they were hit with a cat 5
From Shoreacres, TX, and we faired ok. But our fence is gone, our shed is gone, and we still don't have power as of now. Hopefully we'll get power soon. Hotter than hell here!
We lost power here in Missouri City at 4am, still no electricity since that morning. Cell phone service has been down as well. I don’t know when we will get power back, it might take maybe a few days or so because Centerpoint Energy hasn’t restored anything yet.
I live in Southwest Houston. My house was in the direct path of the eye. Still don't have power 4 days later in mid 90 degree heat
I'm in Conroe Texas and it hit us hard but no where near as bad as the Carribean. Unfortunately, there have been 2 deaths in Texas so far. We have no power, but thankfully we have a whole house generator so my family will get through this a little easier. We've got tree limbs down but no serious damage. Hope my fellow Texans stay safe.
Hurricane season is june to November, but lately they have been going towards the gulf of Mexico
Kabir you recently have been reacting to some tragic events. This is the latest in one of those so unfortunate events. Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson among three killed in Maryland car crash. This was just a horrific crash with one of the cars reported to have been traveling about 90 MPH. He was just signed to the team, but never got to play before this event.
I was in hurricane Fran I think that I was 95 or 96. I will never forget it
My brother texted me early this a.m. He lives just SW of Houston, said they had lost power. He has land in Brazilian County the meteorologist mentioned, but they can’t get down there yet to see how much damage, if any, there is to the cabin there.
Houston here. Lots of rain and wind, but it wasn't too bad. The bad part came when the electricity went out late that Sunday night. The next day was awful. I felt like I was melting in our apartment. We got lucky and got the last hotel room in a hotel fairly close to us. Houston's population is 7.5 million, 2.7 million lost power. I think there are still a quarter of million still without power. You never want to be without power in Houston. It can be deadly.
Official hurricaine season is from June to November. 6 months. But the brunt of the season is typically late July to mid November. This a weak hurrcaine category 1 but still dangerous. My mom's house lost the patio cover in the backyard. Ripped off the roof eaves. 2 million people reported without electricity/power right now.
Hurricanes start from the heat of the Sahara and goes through West Africa, starts forming the East Atlantic and then works its way across the Atlantic. Warmer ocean temps create stronger storms.
Houstonian here. We’ve had much worse but this was stronger than expected. No power and it’s extremely hot
We just had our power restored last night around midnight. Thank goodness my nephew's boss loaned us a generator. Mom's on oxygen and I have trouble breathing when I get too hot.
Lost tin off the roof to gale force winds and trees uprooted by a possible tropical tornado.
