#Houston-area electric customers: If you are without power and using a portable generator, keep safety in mind. Operate it in a well-ventilated area and never run inside or in a garage to avoid carbon monoxide fumes, which can be deadly. Do not connect it directly to your building's electrical system during a power outage; electricity could backfeed into the power lines, potentially endangering our workers. #hounews #houwx
#SRRadarloop of what may of been a significant tornado SW of College Station. TMAU was scanning this storm at around 300ft ARL and captured the life cycle of this tornado. Peak Delta-V was 115-125 mph.
Incredible photo of the supercell thunderstorm as it moved northeast across Wise County. This photo was taken of the tornado-warned storm right after it produced damage in and around Decatur. Thanks Megan Richards for the photo.
💔TORNADO DAMAGE: Jennifer sent these from the Buncombe Creek area near Lake Texoma. She tells me she’s still waiting to hear from friends. Some stuck in their homes. Others taken to the hospital.
Please keep these folks in your prayers tonight.
San Antonio folks: I'm working on a story about patients who are having trouble accessing dialysis because of the winter weather and outages. If you know a dialysis patient who is having problems, please send them my way! You can DM me or email [email protected]. Stay safe
The failure of our electric grid is a failure of STATE leaders who continue to focus on political theater instead of effective governance. We are in the 21st century and live in one the world’s most developed nations. Addressing this catastrophic failure must be job one!
