Houston Metro Rocked By Severe Storms That Left Over 1 Million Without Power | G18V | USA News
A storm system that threatened to produce torrential rainfall over East Texas spawned severe thunderstorms in the nation’s fourth-largest city Thursday, causing at least four fatalities and leaving more than 1 million customers without power.
The local National Weather Service office issued several Tornado Warnings for the Houston metro but by the time the storms cleared, it was strong winds that are believed to have caused most of the damage. Winds estimated to be more than 70 mph toppled trees, blew out windows of high-rise buildings, and caused transmission towers holding power lines to crumble.

Why are people shopping for food??? Nobody is paying attention. Prep Prep Prep.

There was very little warning that the storm would be so severe or tornadoes

Father in Heaven i ask You in Jesus Name to send Youre Angels to those areas there and everywhere in the world where this takes place and Help and bring people to safe places , keep them safe .

[@tonyamari3]

Not mother nature. This came with no warning and left just as fast, all while causing more damage than most of the hurricanes that have come through. Stay safe everyone!

[@MrCalverino]

"Rare" flash flood. It floods here all the time. Our Democrat overlords keep raising taxes promising they'll mitigate it. What a joke.

[@SeanStehura]

This is not democrat against Trump Republicans. It's about Climate Change. It's about burning fossil fuel that is pumped and refined in Texas.

[@annebartells777]

Put the blame where it belongs. Take climate change seriously. Your storms are only going to get worse. Your governor declined federal money
