Tornado rocks Houston: 1 injured, 120,000 lose power
NY Post ^ | 01-25-2023 | Fox Weather

The National Weather Service in Houston issued a Tornado Emergency for the first time in the office’s history Tuesday for a twister that tore the southeast side of the Houston metro area.

The tornado was reported by both spotters and was confirmed by radar, according to NWS officials. Reports of tornadoes traveled east into the evening in Louisiana.

Pictures and videos show the damage that was left behind.

“Holy crap. I’ve got a tornado on the ground right in front of me,” said storm chaser Brad Arnold. “People are driving right into it. Hold on, it’s going to get wild.”

Arnold ordered the driver to stop and pull over as a large tornado crossed the road before them in Taylor Landing, Texas near Beaumont.

Tornados can’t hold a candle to the destruction to Houston caused by Katrina

Tornados can't hold a candle to the destruction to Houston caused by Katrina.

You can throw Baton Rouge into that category...

>I think you mean Harvey.<

I disagree. Within a year most of the Harvey damage was removed and repaired. We’re stiff suffering through every Harris County election due to Katrina refugees.

Harris County used to be red.

Fortunately no deaths but a lot of damage in Pasadena and Deer Park, near Houston.

The Deer Park brand of bottled water comes from Pennsylvania so it won't be affected.

I didn’t see anything in the OP article or video about damage to the oil and chemical industries by the tornadoes. The storm path cut right through the largest concentration in the US of refineries, tank farms, petrochemical, oil fields and such. This is a big deal.

All these are critical infrastructure and their physical security and priority in repair is taken over by the feds in a national emergency. FEMA I think. Feds did this very well after Katrina where I had industry contacts reach out to me for assistance.

Did I miss something?
