As someone that has worked in construction in downtown Chicago, I have concerns about their building standards there. Many of those windows in that skyscraper look like they were blown out not broken out. I know some construction companies cut corners in the south, but something like that shouldn't even happen in a tornado.

Pressure differential is what blew out the glass and not “flying metal.”

Those "concrete canyons" just funnel the wind and increase the velocity!

Wow, that storm really targeted Wells Fargo! Smart storm!

[jackiemansfield]

I feel so sorry for all Animals. May God bless and protect them all!

Poor folks what a mess, bless those who were lost.

Sorry, but by almost any metric, this was a hurricane force storm. The only difference is that it didn't come off of the gulf...

It was a Derecho. I survived the one in 2020 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I'm now an hour north of Houston and luckily, we didn't get any damage.

Please pay Kevin more so he can buy a bigger shirt. Thank you.

He just said don't go downtown due to down trees and hot electrical lines. Daft newscaster asks, "well are places open?" 🤦‍♂️ put your active listening hat on if you're going to engage with interviewers in the field.

Hate it when anchors ask such incredibly stupid questions. The mayor says stay away and the anchor ask if downtown is shut down. Moronic.

[randypattie]

Y'know I have to say that I don't remember in my 63 years on this planet, a downtown core be smashed by a non hurricane event. Looks like the future they predicted is now.

That clip of the black car in the flooded parking lot is from 2 weeks ago, so I'm surprised that they included it. It was a young girl who ended up climbing a pole and had to be rescued.

More than the windows is the air pressure. During the typhoons on Guam we leave one window cracked open to balance the pressure or else the windows will pop outward

office space for rent with a view cheap.

[QueenCMB]

The Mayor just said stay at home and the anchor woman asked is it closed down. lol

[ecamp]

I remember a hurricane in 1983 that did similar damage to office buildings, some under construction. Unsecured materials in those buildings made it into a glass and steel vortex with debris blowing right through buildings. Luckily I was back in Austin after spending a couple of weeks in Houston.

[DemarcusQ]

Why is the Wells Fargo building the most damaged through the windows? 😂 They must of built it cheap as hell

[evanmoore]

Oh man, hope they get that parking gate working to that empty parking lot...

[JuanCMHuerta]

That car scene is from like 3 weeks ago
