My parents place just West of town on FM529 lost a lot of trees. Fence broke bringing the cows up to the living room window.
Someone on OB posted some houses that looked to be total losses in bridgeland.
I think that's Hillcorp but could be wrong
We got to my daughter's junior high school in Tomball right as it all hit. It was green outside. Had to shelter in the hallways until it passed. It was as bad as everyone online is saying.

Crap, people were running outside in that!!
Genuinely scary as hell. I was on 290 in Cypress at 6:10 when the black/green mass went over us for 15 minutes. We were parked with sideways rain and wind - my car was rocking and the 18 wheeler in front of me was swaying. There were huge branches flying past.
This is nuts. I lived in Houston my entire life until a few years ago and have never seen anything like that. Wow.
And I lived through Alicia.
And I lived through Alicia.
This was the first time I've ever actually had the family huddled in a closet near Jersey village - we got rocked
Was in Gringo's in cypress as it came through..hail was wild, and things were flying onto the roof, lights flickering, it was a nerve wracking dinner
This was the window-busting, tree-toppling storm that blasted Houston.

A view looking north from Timbergrove at 6:25. The oak tree closest to the camera was topped a couple minutes after I retreated inside.
Really wild in Timbergrove
SBISD is closed tomorrow.
Unbelievable.

A wide swath of hurricane winds just passed through a good portion of the #Houston metro this evening. Probably some embedded brief tornado touchdowns as well.
Doppler estimates had some portions of winds up to 111mph+ (cat.3) at an elevated level. #txwx #htxwx pic.twitter.com/PU7UuUVw6N
111 mph straight line winds went right through Downtown.
CyFair ISD closed too - no surprise there.
Our outage map isn't working, but keep looking there until your phone dies and don't bother us.

Power still out in 77007
The transmission lines in Katy/West Rd are destroyed. Holy cow. Anyone see the pics of that?
For those of you watching 26, was that Abigail Dye sitting on the right side of the anchor desk?
If so, google image search was relatively rewarding.

Yep, I'm in 77007, as well. I'm just hoping they get it up, tomorrow. I may need to drive somewhere to get some work done.
Same for us in the Heights. As soon as trees started going we huddled in the hallway. That **** was crazy.jetch17 said:

That was Caroline, Abigail is out in the field.
Wish I got a picture on my way home but those massive transmission lines were also down at 290 and 34th by that Academy. Saw massive stadium lights down too at the sport complex there at 290 and the loop.
Typical. I figured this would be the case.Guitarsoup said:

Username checks out. The leopard print jugs were looking good.
Free firewood at my place. Lost some big tree limbs and a side fence. Neighbor lost a magnolia.
She looks like Wonder Woman's vixen villain.
Heard some gusts downtown hit ridiculously high numbers like 156 mph.

Shame, I wonder how much water they used keeping a magnolia alive through last summer. Timbergrove is full of ones that have become white trees of Gondor
