Houston Mayor John Whitmire said that anyone who doesn’t have to get on the roads should stay at home. Only essential workers should be out and about.

    Officials want you to stay off the roadways but your employer dgaf about you and said if you don't show up you're fired. There's a serious disconnect in this world isn't there...

    All employees in the Houston area should have been sent home early instead of letting us stay until 5:00pm COH should have dismissed employees early , instead most of the employees were stuck on roads unable to make it home and in a lot of danger

    The sky did turn green! I'm in Cypress Texas near Tomball. This thing came in hard, lasted about 30 min or so, and I mean it was wicked. The sky was a weird color, the winds were fierce! Then it was gone! I live in a residential of about 400,000 dollar homes. Tree branches and debris everywhere! The audience you need to know, I had no cell phone signal for hours! That's how fragile it is! Our security. Our lines of communication. We didn't know how bad it was out there in this massive city. A 30 minute storm! Approx. 30 minutes is all it took! Power is out! It's near 0800 hrs this morning. The bayou that is behind our homes was flooding and rolling good after that storm, which is great, however for Woodlands, and Kingwood, Montgomery County etc bad bad signs of flooding. Look, these storm have been going on here and in the Midwest! For weeks! This is a bad, bad, sign! I think that summer will be brutal! Florida/hurricanes, etc! Love, from Cypress Texas, Harris County! 30 minutes is all it took! Grid down!!!!! Mayday! Grid is down!

    If those storms that lasted less then 2 hours yesterday afternoon were about the same as a Cat I hurricane... then what's a real Cat III or IV HURRICANE going to do to this part of Texas when one spins overhead for 12 to 24 hours straight??? It seems to me that Texas is becoming less resilient the longer we go without a major storm system hitting this area... among other problems, far too many people are here now who have never "enjoyed the effects" of a truly strong hurricane and how it just goes on continuously for half a day then after getting nice and calm for maybe an hour it then starts again but in the opposite direction! The storms yesterday were bad, but as a life-long area Texan I've seen so much worse.... Harvey for all it's damage in 2017 wasn't a wind storm for this part of Texas it was just a rain maker when it was tracking overhead. The last strong windstorm to come across Houston was Ike a Cat 3 storm in 2008! That was what, 14 years ago already.... how time flies, and how dumb people become to what a truly bad storm is like around here. smh! 😕

    One of the dumbest things is that we still have power lines just hanging. Other places have them going underground. Sure, it would be expensive to switch, but we really should begin That process. It's always the same story with hurricanes and even with just strong rainstorms sometimes. People lose power a lot. If we already know that the weather gets bad, that it's getting worse through climate change, then it makes sense to start changing things

You can reach out to churches, goodwill or other places in the area to ask for help in restoring material things. Its not work losing your life. You are irreplaceable as a person.
