The story of the violent Houston-area storm told on video

The story of the violent Houston-area storm told on video

Severe storms moved faster than expected across the Houston area Tuesday afternoon, causing flash flooding, dumping hail the size of marbles and quarters and knocking out power at one point to more than 370,000 CenterPoint and Entergy customers.

In Magnolia, a 16-year-old who worked in construction during the summer was killed when a house under construction collapsed during storms.

It was supposed to happen and it did: some people hit hard during the Derecho storm on May 16 were hit again. “Oh man, that’s hard.”

Downtown Houston, hit hard by Storm Derecho on May 16, received more than 3 inches of rain Tuesday. There was flooding on many streets in and around the Houston area.

KPRC 2 photojournalist Rayan Graham captured this video of hail falling near FM 1960.

KPRC 2 photojournalist Brett Doster was in the KPRC 2 Storm Tracker. This scene takes place along the service road at I-45 and Tidwell.
