Kudos to the man running that hotel. It's good to finally hear of someone taking care of people during a disaster. You don't hear much of that anymore these days. So a big kudos to this hotel manager for taking such good care of these people. Awesome credit to him as well David. Thank you for your dedication to bringing us this video. Our prayers are with you and all of Texas effected by this.

Praying for everyone in Texas 😇😇😇

Special thanks for hanging in there and your updates. I was worried about Reed and his crew, so glad to hear your update about them and they are safe. I can hear the violent 155mph winds - prayers for everyone's safety \o/

Keep up the good work man. stay safe! I've been through some crazy Storms and Hurricanes and its sometimes scary even when you are prepared. Glad to hear Reeds team is safe.

im watching you live from Pennsylvania, my niece and her mom are headed to Austin, my prayers are with all of you. god Bless and god speed

God Bless you all I am praying for you !!! Newtown Pennsylvania

Thanks for this. My family & friends are in the greater Houston area so it's good to know from a reliable source what it's like for visitors. I'm glad that my brother & I, who both grew up there, are safe living in the beautiful PNW where all we have to fear is an earthquake: The Big One! No hurricanes though. Just rain from Oct-March, but who's complaining? Keeping Texans in my heart. Wishing all a safe, relatively dry week without the need for heroics.

Sorry to say this but it was real stupid for you to be outside. That wind could send a board right through you can slice you in half when you least expect it. Your lucky to be alive dude.

Thanks for risking your life to provide us with this video!

Im in Florida. I have never seen a meteorologist like u. We need U! Im addicted to your coverage. Its real. Good work. Be SAFE most of all!

You seem so calm, I seriously have no idea how I would react through the entirety of a hurricane! You have a great TV personality, stay safe in that job of yours!!

thank you never thought I would see the eye of a hurricane in Texas from Australia AWESOME :)

Prayers for all of you guys and Rockport. That everybody's safe as possible. God bless you

We're in Brownsville Tx and ppl here prepared, but im so grateful we didnt get this storm. Amazing A KILLER MONSTER !!! So scary. You all be safe. God be with you.

Hi from UK Scotland, stay safe dude x

Damm i live in Houston

Great vid my man. Appreciate you goin through this and keeping us updated.

To David and the like of others pursuing this type of endeavor: This is very gallant and intrepid of you. Just as one would venture overseas to fight for the military. Woe betide you when the foreseen circumstances overwhelm you. When you're spiritually extricated from danger and despair, to whom do you give thanks to? Yes. In the end, it's all about HIM and very little of you. Blessings.

excellent reporting.

Thanks for the video!

Great coverage. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe!

Thank you, KXAN, for covering Rockport. Too bad the hurricane shelter in Austin had no TV on which all of us from the Rockport area could see what was happening. By the next day and many days after, all the news was about the flooding in Houston and elsewhere. We got most of our news from people who went back the day after the storm to see their houses (if any were still there), and took photos and videos before returning to Austin. I don't know if any news reports showed all the dead cows lining the highway, some of which may have come all the way from the pasture land on the barrier island and maybe were dropped on highway 35 by tornadoes. I don't know where they originated but wasn't used to seeing a lot of those kinds of cattle near town. Much of the highway adjoins huge, unfenced cotton fields, not cattle ranches. In a fenced area along the highway, the fences were not broken but were choked with storm surge debris and the utility poles were mostly snapped off or leaning precariously. The dead cows did not come from unfenced cotton fields or escape through undamaged barbed wire fences. Most of the cows seemed to be big, sleek, fat, healthy (but dead) red Angus types, based on the photos.

How does this week go from a total solar eclipse, to a total devastating hurricane in texas....

What a wonderful hotel owner, faith in humanity restored temporarily

Watching you in the hurricane from Holland.

God Bless all of you and keep you safe!!!

Major respect to the guy who went out in it to save his fellow chaser and also to the hotel owner. I'm in northeast Texas and have all of you in my thoughts.

I am from from Jamaica and in my living room watching your video. And also you guys are doing a very good job letting us know what is happening in Texas

From Miami this event, that reminds me of my time going through hurricane Andrew & Wilma. May God be with you all.....

He's so cute. I wouldn't mind being trapped in the hurricane with him hahaha

This is from Pennsylvania. Hope you guys be safe. I'm praying for Texas. Texas is innocent..

Living through a hurricane sucks. Nothing fun about it. Life comes to a halt.

Thanks for your bravery so that we could experience this. GOD KEEP YOU SAFE!!!

Thank u for sharing,, I have a lot of family near coast

You're doing yeoman's work, Mr. Yeomans. Stay safe.

Can hear the wind in rhythms on the swept Wow powerful sound

I live in Pearland,TX (Brazoria County) and am debating if I should head to Louisiana. My neighborhood typically does not flood but with what the news is predicting it has me slightly worried. Thoughts are with everyone..stay safe!

Amazing reporting, David!

Thanks so much

Good luck to everyone and stay safe! I got lucky it missed my city by a good few miles 😓

I live in Alaska and when we get hurricane force winds over 100 mph there's a horrible, high pitched continuous scream--I'm not hearing that here, just the roaring that's also common here. Is that just the camera not picking it up?

rated for a cat5 and there are no storm shutters on the windows?

Who came here from his GQ video where he breaks down weather in movies

YES WE HEAR THE FEROCIOUS WINDS, YOU ALL BE SAFE AND WE WILL BE PRAYING FOR ALL OF YOU!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!

Here in Houston we have luckily only gotten high winds and Lots of rain I am blessed and really lucky

God bless you and please stay safe its not worth it to get hurt to report

GOD BE WITH ALL OF YOU!!!

When you took a peacefull vacation to the coast of Texas... You have to evacuate as soon as you got to your destination... I JUST WANTED TO ENJOY TEXAS!

After ten years of smart phones, you'd think people should have learned that you can turn you phone to the side while recording...

Loud & clear .. Also sounds like a powerful waterfall nearby .. Niagra Falls !

VERY good reporting here!! 👍🏻👏🏻😉

Does your room key need electrical power to function? Can guests still access there own rooms?

yea i was in corpus yesterday on a fishing trip and saw the huge ass hurricane pretty scary shit right there was wondering why the entire town was empty

Dude! We're in corpus and it's ugly, be safe man and remember that it will always let up no matter how long it lasts

That is so cool you are with Reed Timmers team at the same location! Totally didn't get excited when you mentioned him...nope. XD But in all seriousness please say safe dude.

i am in north houston and i havent gotten any storm yet praying for everyone that was hit

God Bless you all

I will be praying for him ! So yummy looking and he seems like a real grownup. A man.

This is a great reporter and he's not full of shit either, give him a raise!

We learn at a young age in Florida that when a window lets the wind in, pressure increases and the wind across thee roof makes it act like an airplane wing lifting it. There goes the roof. When a window breaks, or a door opens, you have to open one on the other side to save the roof. Wind blowing thru the house in that case is bad, but better than really bad.

I wish I was there to enjoy it. The northeast has not seen a hurricane since Gloria in the 1980's

Kxan doesn't have any flashlights?

Was that Reed in the yellow raincoat coming in after the gust of wind whipped the doors open?

Stay safe

Currently taking bets on whether Alex Jones calls Hurricane Harvey a false flag operation

God bless you I live in Texas too

Don't know why anyone would hate on you... Guess that's the world right now... Anyways, Great job!!! Helping those see what it's like... And near as I can tell, you are lucky the place didn't fall on you... Peace

It sounds like you're flying a helicopter through a waterfall. Damn. Stay safe.

Oh man I bet you all were going CRAZY! It's understandable that they don't want doors being ripped off or someone being killed from flying debris. Very cool for them to give you a place of shelter.

What the hell it's sunny here in for Corpus Christi when did you get that footage ???

I was in Hurricane Gustov before Ike hit doing contractor security work for Entergy. We were transporting into Ike while it was happening. INTENSE!! Damn do I want to experience that again.

This guy is amazing. Must have a 180 IQ! He has 4 or 5 things to deal with simultaneously and it's like no problem for him.

Be safe!!!

I think I'm in love with David.

Yes we hear the roar terrifying

How are you in a Cat5 shelter if tiles are falling and windows are blowing out? Stay safe!

That wind is unreal

praying for Texas from Chicago Illnois.

Im un houston and im so scared plz help 😥

must be his first hurricane -how cute. lol.

Wow definitely hearing it.

God bless from Kansas

Who the hell are these "storm chasers"? Opening doors or windows compromise the structure. How come these "storm chasers" don't know that? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Wow, this is bad. That hotel is just barely keeping you guys safe. Hopefully you guys make it out of this ok.

Not sure why they think that because that ceiling tile was on the floor, that this translates that there is a broken window SOMEWHERE in the building? You will notice that where that ceiling tile was down was literally right next to a exterior door. Meaning that when they open it, it will be very windy right there. Now if a window is broken then there will likely be ceiling tiles down in the immediate vicinity. But not somewhere across the entire building. Unless of course it's really powerful, in which case there would be way more than just the random tile on the floor.

I heard half the hotel got blown away. Is this guy ok?????

Keep safe people. Look after each other. That looks so dangerous..

good luck and stay safe everyone - from dfw

God be with you guys

YES we hear and see the lightning! OMG!!!!!

Of course Reed Timmer is there lol I never want to be where he is. If he's there it's going to be really bad

I'm in Beaumont. Anybody got a news report for me?

the lights that are on are on battery power, they only come on when the power goes off. I am surprised the hotel doesn' have a backup generator.

Man with the walls separating I'd head to the other building. Plus, anytime somebody says "God told me this was my Ark", it's time to go.

God Bless....Stay safe.

praying for you to stay safe and my friend who lives there

It sounds horrific really scary

A very bad day for coastal Texas.

We're in the Dallas Ft.Worth area it's just foggy here small amount of rain. Nothing serous here. But I worry about the amount of rain and flooding comming!!!

Stay safe taxes much love hope all is well safe and we sending ow love from Australia stay safe
