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.

I was inside Heights High School when the storm started. At 6:30pm, my wife called to say there was a tornado warning for the area, so I got out of my truck and went inside the school. 10 minutes later, I was wondering if the storm had come yet, so I went to look. The side of the building was all glass...and I will never forget how black the sky was and these massive oak trees being blown sideways. Between the flooding and tree debris, it took over an hour just to get out of the immediate area. By far the gnarliest storm I've seen in my 39 years.

Nice to see neighbors helping. Sidebar: Since when did the ground outside become a floor?

You need to check out H town elite gym in the Heights. Part of roof off/ a wall blown in. But none of the gymnasts were injured and the coaches and owners and GIRLS were amazing!!

Time to start rebuilding with the NEXT convective storm in mind. ‘Toe-nailing’ framing together just became obsolete and outright dangerous.
