    Texan here, it was pretty bad. I was at my job and had to go over tornado protocol with everyone. One of my coworkers had their garage destroyed by the pressure and/or wind and is without power for weeks. My work was out 5 minutes.

      I got super lucky and mine was only out for a couple of hours. It’s over 90° outside right now. There’s about to be a bunch more dead people in this town due to lack of AC.

      I hope your coworker is going to be ok.

        Not often, I hadn’t even heard about the storm and suddenly it was raining sideways. We’re more used to flooding multiple times a year, since we’re always on the dirty side of hurricanes and not the wind side.
