Laredo TX HP-Monster Downburst 21.05.2017

[@BichiMichi]

I remember this storm so well. There was a young man that passed away in this storm. Once the storm ceased, he was able to leave the barbershop over on Hillside. On his walk home, he stepped into a large puddle which had a down powerline. He was electrocuted. Rest in Peace :( I remember hearing the sirens shortfly after I had just arrived to my bfs apt there on Marcella. Those streets were terribly flooded.

But in this storm it was completly soaked and maybe 30min after the storm it shut down and was not working anymore. Then i dryed it and it starts to work again without any problem 😁 and since this storm it was often wet but still working.
