This didn’t age well.

So much for Matt Lanza… This is by far the strongest winds I’ve ever seen outside of Hurricane Ike. There is damage EVERYWHERE the scariest situation I’ve been in weather wise.

Yes - Storm chasers are comparing this storm to Ike-level damage.

No worries man lol we barely caught the southern edge of it over here. I feel we will pay big time for missing out on all this rain lately come later this summer. Mother Nature has her way of balancing things out.

591K without power in Harris Co. alone.

We got lucky up in CLL with lots of rain only. The two supercells that came through produced the darkest skies I've ever seen caused by any T-storm.

Trees are down all over the neighborhood. I’ll post more later.
