It's hard to go by camera views because they are often brighter or darker than what the human eye sees, but you said this was accurate because you saw this first hand. I've heard of "dark as night" storms (really just a metaphor), and I've been in daytime storms where it got very dark, but never night-night like this. I'm thinking a lot of dust had gotten kicked up into the storm from somewhere else and that's why this particular storm was so dark.

Me and my daughter left the Heights area from work and ran right into on I10 😢 it was absolutely terrifying. The wind, rain and our car shaking. We prayed and called my mom and told her we loved her.. we were that scared.

I’ve been through many storms similar to, but not equivalent to this one in my lifetime. Thy thoughts and prayers are with those affected and their families. This was a wicked storm.

That darkness hit in about 30 seconds. Man that would be terrifying. I remember that storm looking at the radar and I'm in Louisiana. Everyone of those cells in the past week had tornados and high winds involved with a lot of lightning.

That’s bad!! I got family and friends live in Santa Fe where I use to live. It’s been storming down here in southeast live oak county all day, there’s a little break in the storms.” Not for long there more storms going to continue until 6:00 this evening. Then another chance of storms around 9:00pm tonight..” Y’all stay safe stay dry!!

I live in the Montrose area, and I have been through several Hurricanes and a tornado once that uprooted a tree and a 10 foot circle of roots. The winds were worse Thursday than anything I had ever seen. I made my dog get away from the windows it was so scary. I moved 2 weeks ago, and my old neighbor 75 feet away still has no power, and my street two houses down have no power. Second move I have made, where within a couple weeks, the past place had a major problems. Makes me so happy I moved.

That's a derecho! I've seen derechos before. So I know firsthand how dangerous and destructive derechos can be. Derechos are a complex of thunderstorms that comes together and becomes long-lived windstorm that can travel for hundreds of miles. It's not unusual at all for derechos to have winds well over minimal hurricane force. The worst time of year for a derecho complex in the US is during the month of May, although you can have derechos anytime during the summer months. Sometimes derechos have been called an "inland hurricane."

This is a derecho. Rather than twisting winds (a tornado), these are straight-line winds.

Wow I’ve only ever seen a non-tornadic storm that scary once before in my life, probably 15 years ago on the interstate in south Florida. Floridians know thunderstorms there can get pretty crazy, they’re used to it and those crazy people will drive through anything. But that particular storm EVERYONE just stopped dead because you had to because of the shear amount of rain and speed of wind. Packed interstate around 5-6pm, but you couldn’t see the head or tail lights of cars that were literally within arm’s reach. It lasted about 2 minutes at that intensity I’ll never forget that.

I lived in Joliet Illinois in 96,97 and back then every summer you would get storms like that. It would be 12 in the afternoon and it would be pitch black with tornado sirens going off and crazy wind and lightning. Needless to say I'd sleep in the basement all summer cause the storms would pop up out of nowhere.

it was 6-7pm. 6 TO 7. it’s always light outside around that time but it looked like it was 9pm. there was green in the clouds, my older brother had the shelter ready. it was a scary night, and im so glad nothing terrible happened in my area.

Darkest sky I ever seen in a thunderstorm

i was driving home when the storm reached its climax. it was pitch black and i witnessed the traffic lights break. Trees were about to fall and the windshield wiper couldn’t keep up

This storm was particularly strange as it was spooky. It wasn’t a tornado and wasn’t a hurricane either. But it was definitely something in between. These storms in 2024 are getting weirder by the week.

Imagine storms on other planets with winds the speed of a bullet.....

The silhouette of that skyline is apocalyptic.

Very reminiscent of the 2020 derecho that hit here in Iowa. I was in a second floor office building surrounded by glass. It came in so fast, and seeing the trees nearly snap in half, it was crazy. The area on my drive home looked so much like a war zone.

Thank god I live in Spring. It was a sneeze compared to downtown.

I was driving to the 21 concert and about 10 miles down I-10 the black clouds finally caught up with us….had to pull over almost immediately and damn was it bad😭it was dark and it started hailing on us I though I was gonna get sucked up by a tornado. Good less I made it to the 21 concert only 2 hours late.

I left my apartment at approximately 6:13 pm on Thursday evening with the sky looking totally normal (very light gray "overcast" - not even remotely ominous). 4 minutes down the feeder road of 290 (at 6:17 pm), it was charcoal black-colored in the sky and an alert comes through telling me that if I'm in a car, get to a sturdy building NOW. It was insane.

I remember one thunderstorm in Preston, UK when I was in my late teens had the same darkening effect. It was known as a Spanish Plume Effect and day literally turned into the dead of night and the thunderstorm which followed was huge. It was super bizarre!

I was stuck on the freeway during the storm near Spring Branch. I am at an advanced age and I had never seen or experienced anything like it. I honestly still am a bit shook by it.

Probably shouldn't have parked near/under the tree but I didnt know the storm would be that bad. I couldn't even see the skyscrapers that were just in front of me. It was a wild storm.

My dad tried to call my mom when this was happening, but we soon realized that the towers were kaput. It was a weird day, spent a lot of time on the old PSP and 3DS until the power came back

Houston basically gets a freak weather event every other year now, it’s so tiring and having a generator will eventually become a necessity . One of multiple reasons I’ll be leaving the city and state soon.

how ominous

From what I understand this was a derecho, which has been described as a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms. Winds can exceed 100 mph in these type of storms.

My Dad had just landed at IAH from CT and could not grasp the severity of the situation and how lucky he was to be IN an airport. Last we spoke I was at the pool on his layover so it made no sense to him.

Damn!

Still no electricity in the Glen Lee Subdivision we need your help. No electricity since Thursday last week.

Where the hell is the lightning very strange

Amazing!

This was far "better" than the Eclipse a few weeks ago.

Yes this is what we saw too in Hockley, nowhere near downtown. I think because of our geographic position we felt it before it made it down the neighborhoods. Still praying for Houstonian!!

I've always thought it was pretty crazy how the tornados in Tornado Alley never seem to hit these major downtown areas but always seem to touch down in the suburbs. Can you imagine the destruction if like an F5 touched down in a major city with all the skyscrapers?
