He's giving the viewer important context about the type of tornado and the fact that you won't be able to see it. And it is relevant that the drought weakened the trees and that there are tens of thousands of them around that are more likely to come apart, which means driving in those conditions puts you in more danger. This is all relevant information to the people who are IN THAT AREA VIEWING LIVE. Do you have any context about what a job is and that people show up to work to do specific things?

That's not an anchor. That's a metrologist named Frank Billingsley. He's a Houston icon like Ed Brandon was. They got Houstonians through many storms and taught us what he is trying to teach Goulding and the watchers. The description from Goulding is nothing the information from Frank could help save your life if you plan on living in Houston during our weather seasons.

That's ok just let him go, when the rain stops and the sun comes back out he will not be able to see anything because rain x will cause his windshield to glare in the sun. Get you some silicone wiper blades and run them on a dry windshield for a second or two. Now the rain will bead up like the rain x but without all the glare in the sunlight.

No, that doesn't mean a tornado at all. Maybe you don't live anywhere that gets bad storms, so it's understandable to believe a little excess wind instantly means tornado, but all of these things are commonplace in simple strong thunderstorms.

Not necessarily. Heavy rain, hail, darkness, lightning and even debris, individually or in combination, do not mean it's a tornado. Debris definitely can and does get kicked up and transported by strong straight lines, as happened with this derecho.

Dericho winds can cause these problems too. I got caught in a dericho in Minneapolis about a decade ago. I thought it was a tornado at first! We had 70-80mph winds across south Minneapolis. Branches were slamming onto my car. Got into a building shadow for protection, and watched as the wind felled several mature trees on the block in front of me. When I finally got home, we had downed trees everywhere, and many streets were impassible. Our power was out for four days.

@briebel2684 Ай бұрын

@TexasbyStorm Ай бұрын

If you're in the hail core you're less likely to be in the tornado, the tornado is most likely south of you. Straight line winds in the hail core are very common. We just had a bad hail storm a couple months ago. The tornado rotation went south of us. We ended up with $30K worth of damage to our 😮 rotation from the tornado to the south caused zero damage because the tornado didn't touch down.
