What you experienced was a Derecho which is a massive line of severe thunderstorms with intense straight line winds and possible tornadoes. They are not that common in Houston.

That is a tornado death trap because other drivers stopping under the passage with you stuck in it can always cause problems

That doesn't happen in the case of hail, frontline winds, or rain severe enough to prevent you from seeing a flooded road ahead. It IS true in the case of big tornadoes. The Houston area tends to have EF0-2 tornadoes, not those Oklahoma honkers. (Our construction standards aren't what they could be.)

Not everyone knows what to do during storm

My son awakened me from a nap and told me there was a tornado warning, I told him he was overreacting and got mad at him for waking me up. 15 minutes later all hell broke lose.

That seemed more like a derecho.

It was a derecho. And we never get them here. It spawned two F1 tornadoes.

I was downtown when the warning went to all phones. By the time I got to W. Gray near Kroger my car felt like it was about to be picked up. The palm trees looked exactly like being in a hurricane. The stop sign in front of me was oscillating back and forth at a 45° angle. I have never experienced anything like it. I am 60. I was listening to local news coverage and this was not predicted. They didn’t realize how bad it was until after it was over. Two weeks later many streets are closed downtown due to broken glass in high rise buildings, some quite tall. I believe the flexing of the buildings caused the glass to become dislodged more so than the wind actually blowing the glass out. Obviously every window downtown will have to be inspected.

You cannot hear a good portion of the rain, I'm guessing because of the phone calls. This happened more than once in the video. It could have been great if it weren't for the constant interruptions

Let me just add that you do not want a dashcam date/time to be wrong. If you have to pull up a video for police, you don’t want to be standing there scratching your (figurative) nuts for 20 minutes.

I lost power for only 6 hrs from the Houston Derecho. Centerpoint loves me lolol

I used live in the Northwest side (CyFair) and one day was coming up Eldrige and came very very close toa a tornado came down on Sams club roof. very minor damage but they do happen.
