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.

I was westbound on I-10 feeder & Beltway 8 around 6:20pm, it was cloudy and not raining but still bright outside and within minutes, it looked as if it was midnight suddenly and rain started pouring. It started getting severely windy and my phone’s tornado notification was beeping and then my car started to sway left to right from the powerful winds.

Driving in storm once like this, 99 north out of Bakersfield California. Best I could figure, don't pull over and stop, maybe somebody follows your lights and piles into you! Tagged along behind a moving truck. Scary, and not even a tornado. Bless you, Texans.

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.

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.

Stay safe all!

I didn't know I was near a tornado until the next day went the news showed pictures of the outdoor movie screen it took down. The drive-in closed after that, and they built a Walmart.
