More than a million customers in Texas were without power Tuesday as powerful storms delivered another round of violent weather to the state still reeling from an almost unrelenting parade of destructive and deadly storms in recent weeks.
Storms unloaded hurricane-force wind gusts across the Dallas area, with Dallas Fort Worth International Airport recording a wind gust of 77 mph early Tuesday as power outages in the area started to skyrocket.
The same damaging storms that tore through Dallas hit Houston with hurricane-force winds Tuesday afternoon. Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport recorded a wind gust of 75 mph.
What many Texans don’t know (or don’t wanna know) is that theirs is not a flag, but a rating.
I just flew through Dallas, barely missing these storms by like 2 hours. It was the first time I’d been there.
Holy crap, that airport is a shit hole. Everything feels disgusting and in disrepair. The bathrooms were so unclean, the carpets looked 50 years old, the trams were falling apart.
That’s the first and only time I will ever be in Texas. Texas is the “shit hole country.”
