Yes, several of us were following Jeff at the Rockport carwash last night. High drama, fer sure. Would be good to know whether he survived last night.
He did survive. there are photos of Jeff and his fellow storm chasers on his Twitter page.
He did. He just did a live broadcast. He and other chasers are making their way to Houston.
I was watching Jeff’s periscope last night too. He dropped as the eye wall hit but came back on via Facebook when the eye was over him. at that point, he was okay. I hope he found shelter during that break.
Jeff was streaming from the eye, so we know he survived the car warsh. I had radar velocities on the back side of the eyewall close to those on the front, but they moved thru somewhat quicker.
For those who can’t evacuate - or don’t get out in time - maybe a small attic ‘door’ that will allow a family to get on the roof if water gets too high... could be a lifesaver.
Also, people die in cars because electric windows don’t work when the engine cuts out.
One way out is to kick out the windshield... a better solution would be for manufacturers to put one manual roll window on the drivers side. (in emergency use ‘crank’)... In an EMP attack millions of people could be stuck in cars..
