Houston Heights residents begin clean-up after severe thunderstorm sends trees onto cars, houses

[@texasvatnarsson]

My son lives in the Heights. Thank God no damage and safe🙏

[@sylviaramirez6054]

Praying for everyone involved with all this mess

[@helenabrus191]

The Houston area had 8 times the normal May rainfall; ground was so saturated so the trees which don't have a deep root structure were doomed and with the wind, they lost the battle.

[@scruffy4647]

They're without power, but the neighbor is without the side of there house..

[@karltitz1725]

I lived in the Heights for 20 years. First on Arlington at White Oak and then 25th at Cortlandt. The clean up after Ike was so depressing and dusty and seemed to last forever. I send all of my neighbors and friends positive thoughts as they move through the process of cleanup and recovery.

[@John-ct9zs]

I grew up in Houston during the 80s and 90s. And in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, honestly I remember just a handful of big weather events. I vaguely remember hurricane Alicia in 1983, then there was a big winter freeze in 1989, a big flood around 1994, tropical storm Allison in 2001, and then hurricane Ike in 2008. 5 big weather events over 3 decades. Now compare that with everything that's happened to Houston since 2015, the last 9 years. Memorial Day flood, Tax Day flood, hurricane Harvey, tropical storm Imelda, winter blizzard freeze storm of 2021, and I want to say there was another winter freeze storm around 2018....and now this. I'm sure I've missed something in the past 9 years.

Prayers for you all. My Son lives in The Heights. Trees fell on The Family vehicles and Power lines. Praise God, no one was injured.

It’s crazy but that’s toranado damage for sure 😢😢😢

[@1_star_reviews]

That houses siding looks like it was made out of sheet rock. Is it just me??

[@edbouhl3100]

Hard to tell. Let’s hope it was fiber cement.

[@JamesBrown-dv4ve]

Looks cheap

[@tedbell4416]

Several tons of tree would make almost any material sheer off a house

[@ginagina5452]

Man I love the trees, but having big, tall trees right up next to your house is scary during bad tornadic storms. That one lady who died trying to move her car, leave it lady I know it's your car, but your life ain't worth it. RIP

[@edbouhl3100]

Gotta hope these houses get rebuilt with the NEXT storm in mind. It’ll probably add 15-20% to the cost - but better than 100% again in 5-10 years. And it’s a plus when trying to keep your home insurance from being canceled.

[@Athea34]

I never be buying any house that got big giant trees. This. Is the result 😢

[@roymoxley2587]

My brother and I have a home in Virginia we hate trees near our home 2019 took 13 big ones gone I don’t ever have to worry about messing up our home from a fallen tree

[@butterflygirl2285]

It's a really rough deal with that horrible storm.

[@pumpupjam9648]

Look at these folks. They had a tree crash into their house. They are upset but calm. Hope people take note instead of getting frustrated and demanding we need service now! Entitlement, will get you no help.

[@philliphall5198]

Lots of free fire wood for those who want work and help others

[@claudialupper]

You can't use pine for firewood.

[@philliphall5198]

@@claudialupper yes you can but you have to clean every week or the chimney will catch fire 🔥 We mix it with misquite wood

[@roboticusroboticus7912]

That goes to show you how rich people are more important than poor people. These aren’t houses. These are mansions with insurance.

[@TheUTEXAS]

I live in the Heights and had very minimal damage was without power for a few days until we purchased a generator

[@houstontxwill629]

This is what happens when people want to spend money on cheap construction 🌳 roots get damaged and mess with mother nature every thing has consequences God bless this community!!! And everyone hit by this strong storm.⛈️

[@ThePorshaEdmun]

Are you slow ? Lmao 🤣 you would literally have to build a STEEL home Go look up material costs and tell me how much that is

[@edbouhl3100]

Probably less than rebuilding again after the NEXT storm

[@roymoxley2587]

Precast concrete and hurricane roofs are the only way to build and get rid of the damn trees they can destroy anything

[@houstontxwill629]

Sure

[@josephsmyth7334]

Trees are worth money 12’-6” logs can be sold

[@itzyzaza1806]

Im a senior citizen and my kid and family live out of state. I don’t have anyone to help me. None of my neighbors have offered to help and they don’t look like they want to be asked😢

[@LLee-wl5bb]

I hope you get help soon, glad you are safe, I’ll pray for you 🩷

[@michie-wt9lz]

Where you

[@pageroo9644]

I am saddened your kid hasn't hopped on a plane to come and support you the way a son or daughter should! If they can't be there for their mom now when you need it the most, then when???

[@ginagina5452]

My grandmother was by herself during Harvey and me and my sister went down to Houston to help her, a tree had fallen on her power lines in her backyard. I hope and pray you get help soon, a lot of people are just in shock so they frantically are working to put things back together, I would go ahead and ask them for help or maybe they can call somebody for you, they probably don't realize your situation or I'm sure they would help you, there's still good people out there, don't wait, do it now. It's ok, stay calm, I wish I could help you. Be strong you were once a young whipper snapper too, sometimes we need help but don't know how to ask for it. My prayers are with you.

[@purpleturtle7477]

What do you need help with and what can you do to help someone else? Barter.

[@aleeshabolt1278]

Wow. Stay strong. Panama ny sends prayers

[@bruh_hahaha]

Ok I’m having the 60ft tree in my backyard removed.

[@jessegarcia2060]

I'm a heights resident I'm fkn piss that the city has not done enuff to fix are neighbor especially by the Reagan High skool.

[@pageroo9644]

My prayer is that the overpriced insurance policies they all have been paying actually keeps in mind to do the right thing and make their lives whole again and not actively try to find loops hole to not pay! And when they pay out that next year's policy doesn't double!

[@bornandraised66]

Live oak trees are strong but shallow roots, so they get uprooted and blow over. Pine trees have deep deep roots, so they have a strong base. they snap, and sadly, most pine trees out here are huge, so when they snap, they tend to fall on something

[@roymoxley2587]

Been there living in Virginia 2003 hurricane isabel my state look just like that I feel for them

[@toriawilliams9431]

I feel so bad for them all.May God continue blessing them all and keep them all safe Yes & this to will pass 🙏 💕

Who will pay for the damaged, the owner who owned the tree or the neighbor pay to fix the house?

You are 5' 9", the tree much taller.
