Death toll rises after storm hits Houston

Houston always been so hot 🥵 to many dam concrete highways

This is horrible. I have family in houston. It’s bad…

Very sad. This thing was just like a hurricane that came roaring into the metro area. Now Houston is going to have to deal with the rising heat and no power/ air conditioning. A dangerous situation for the elderly and those with health conditions.

It’s hell in Houston with out a/c plus no house to even rest up in 😢😢😢 Older folks are going to suffer dearly

I lived through four of these , the most recent was the August 10th, 2020 at the height of the pandemic. It was the most costliest thunderstorm in modern US history at the time. The power outages lasted for week . I live in the Quad Cities , Iowa and Illinois and Iowa had it the worst , especially in Cedar Rapids. The winds topped there at 140 mphs. They call it a ‘inland hurricane’ with wind speeds close to a Category 2 hurricane. It’s an extremely rare event, but for it to happen in Texas , that’s most likely the very first time a derecho has ever happened there, it typically happens in the Midwest. It’s sad that lives were lost too 😥.

Paying for everyone in Houston. God bless you all.

Looks like a category 4 hurricane. Just horrific.💔

Just wait for the hurricanes this season.

So tragic!

I live in Houston and The power is restored to more then half the city

Still don't have power 😕 the other 2 nights it was humid but at least cool but i had to crash at a friend's tonight bc i spent 5 min in my apt after avoiding it all day and was already sweating profusely

I live dfw area I to supposed to go comicpalooza in houston with my family and unable to there because of the storm in houston

My. Prayers goes out to the people of houston

We’re Houston Strong!! We will be just fine, we come together as one!!

Although it goes against how American suburbs are built but it should be denser (like in Europe) and build to last. I really thought all those tornadoes would bring forth some kind of ingenuity regarding how to build but it's more of the opposite; Cheap buildings (I can't believe that building collapsed like Mikado sticks), easy to replace. If this is only the beginning of such events, cities like Houston have to change their infrastructure drastically or in 5 years time cities won't be able to can't keep up with repairs. I hope cities and states take this as a warning. Prepare as good as you can for the next hurricane season 😕💪

Texas has it’s own electrical grid .

Remember when these storm stories were huge stories, every once in a while? Does it seem like these extreme weather events are happening more frequently? Asking for a friend.

We hadn't seen nothing yet. Summer isn't here yet, but we all know hot weather bring out the worst of weather

They need a wall I guess?

we still have no light and it pisses me off that all around us everybody has light. like seriously, but also i do know that a huge tree fell on top of cables and my neighbors slash lawyers office house as well the same tree
