HOUSTON STORMS: Resident take cover as windows are blown out on Texas skyscrapers

It was a scary situation for Houston residents.

[@CA-tk8yn]

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.

[@edbouhl3100]

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.

[@deandollahite4779]

Revenue is not profit the insurance company I had worked for has not seen profits in 9 years.

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.

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 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.

[@jamesslate6664]

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.

[@genm1170]

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.

[@dreamweaver1603]

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.

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.
