Storm chaser was in the eye wall in Rockport live streaming 150 mph winds with roofs flying through the air but a small blue shed right next to him remained undamaged all night and survived. Was absolutely amazing.

It's worth going back and watching his video. You'll be puckered up

Yeah, was pretty incredible to see live. His broadcast cut out not long after the structure they were sheltering in collapsed and a lot of folks (myself included) thought we had just watched a man die...

Then of course twitter started the #blueshed movement after the improbable survival of the structure.

No, he's holding it down on Twitter right now. The blue shed made it too.

That blue shed needs to be made into a state monument. I might make a pilgrimage to see it one day soon.

---

Can someone explain the blue shed? I saw it referenced earlier, but somehow missed exactly what happened.

Short version: Jeff Piotrowski was live streaming from the eyewall in Rockport last night while holed up in one of the bays of a carwash. All living hell was breaking loose around him and I thought he was live streaming his imminent death. Anyway, right in front of him at the car wash was this small blue shed. The kind of small wooden shed you see for sale at Home Depot. Here is the blue shed:



That blue shed stood there like a rock giving Harvey the single finger salute all night long while everything else around it was being dismantled. It still stands like a pillar this morning. You can see glimpses of it to the left in the early parts of this video:

Will there be another model out before the NHS one at 4:00?

Watched it for about an hour and a half last night while I polished off a bottle with the Stros on.

updated euro model, showing next 90hr rainfall projections

How does this compare to yesterdays or thrsdays models?

Good to hear that no current flooding there, Rayford Round Up was mentioning it. I jetted to B/CS late Thursday.

They're saying record levels for Cypress Creek which ends at Spring Creeks. Hoping 105 is all S.C. hits.

Conroe is getting hammered

Any word on Port Lavaca or a little east of there?

texted my friend in Palacios and she said it was not too awful.

We're in the Klein area. We have somehow managed to stay between the rain bands for about the past 3 hours.

We're in Creekside and have only has one major rainstorm. Otherwise light sprinkle or no rain at all.

Yep the bands have literally split our side of town all day.

At least the neighborhood whataburger is open and made it through before the line was around the building

I'm in Friendswood, and we have a nice calm break between the rain bands.

Nice breeze and the sun is trying to poke out.

and this is with little rain since 9

we're in trouble

If things got bad in Oak Forest last night, I wouldn't know. I knocked off a little before 2200 and didn't wake up until 0800. I was dead to the world.

Went to a bday party in Katy earlier.

I've been incredibly fortunate today with very little rain and no flooding. Very thankful.

Parts of PortA and Rockport level. Very sad for those folks.

Grievances so far though:
- Every local station humping the Sienna tornado into the ground.
- Local traffic people showing the same two feeder road spots over and over again and proclaiming Houston as nearly impassable. One of them being in Brookshire.
- TWC having reporters stand next to a half full bayou for at least half of their hourly broadcast when all the damage and action is to the SW.

Feeling I lost my house in Rockport. Grandfather built it in 1980 (class of 38). Can't even count how many memories I have of that small sleepy town.

Roof damage all around, near my neighborhood, from last night. We had a couple tornadoes within miles. 99 & 1093. My neighbor was having his roof worked on during the slight break in rain. Not a non-event and lots of rain to come. Most of it still to come. And we're continuing to get tornado warnings.

Strange, the gauge doesn't seem to show it so high.
