No, I am not trolling. But I have seen damage from such storm systems that rival, sometimes even surpass damage done by legendary hurricanes. I personally believe that the Houston area will share the fate of Joplin, Mo., not too many years ago.
What in the world?
I don't see Houston getting an EF-5 tornado in the near future. We did have an EF-4 in November of 1992 in Channelview, but major tornadoes are few and far between around here. We're more likely to get EF-0 or 1's.
Biggest threat will be flooding, and evacuating "drivings" the last thing you want to do.
We won't have Biblical floods to rival Claudette of 79 or Allison of 01, so this evacuation idea is over-kill.
Anyway, I agree with Ed. Cold without snow or sleet is miserable. Give me those hot and muggy days over that crud.
