downing trees and damaging homes resulting in several casualties. storm with 100 miles per hour winds the equivalent of hurricane, like falling trees, caused 2 of the fatalities. one was a crane accident as well that was going over by, by the, by the window, the strong winds. the severe storm also destroyed critical infrastructure, leaving nearly a 1000000 people without power. local officials say patients is key now and that resulting power outages could last weeks. this kind of when it's something we have not seen in harris county since hurricane alicia in 1983, we are going to have to talk about this disaster in weeks, not days for some folks. the luckier ones, it might be days,
1:09 am
not hours. while many traffic lights are out of service and roads are blocked with debris, the national weather service says the storms may not be over yet. us seats on the gulf coast including texas, cuz he had experienced severe thunderstorms, with tornadoes, large hill, and damaging wins. and i am joined now by frank billingsley chief meteorologist at pcr tv station. houston, thanks for being with us. um, can you tell us more about the situation right now in southeast texas? sure. i can tell you the death count has gone to 5 now and also we're looking at about 650000 homes in harris county without power. no, to put that in perspective, that would be about a 1000000 people and there are about 4700000 people in harris county. so we have to
1:10 am
a quarter of the people in this county alone. and this was the hardest to get our without power. so that's and, and here's the problem. it didn't just take out a power poles or power lines. this weird, which was at a $140.00 to a 160 kilometers per hour. this when it took out huge power lines, it took out the kind that you see on the side of the road that you don't want to go anywhere near. it took those out. so it was, this was a very serious system. what you're saying they are uh, that's downtown. as these, these winds moved through there and you would think that dell tell trees would be fairly well protected by the, uh, by the buildings. but even the buildings were taken here with glass just being shattered. there were people in those buildings when this was happening, some of them had to walk down 3 by 36 stories to get to the basement, couldn't take the elevators,
1:11 am
and had to walk down in the dark to get into the basement for protection. it was probably the worst we've had. there's, there's a shot there of the winds that just really took out of the all of these windows. so it shutter with windows. it the, the trees that toppled you see on a cars, on homes. it took out entire roof where this is what we call or to rachel, t e r e c h l, a direct, jo is a bo echo of when you get this boat and i go, there just goes across a 100 miles an hour with at least 50 yeah, in this case it was 90 to a 100. so this bo echo goes right across costs 240 miles, which is about 400 kilometers, border kilometers all the way across with these 100 mile an hour winds. and so this is the end of the day. all right, joe is worse far worse than our tornado outbreak of tornadoes bad. but it's where data was only going to take out a certain amount of structure and then it's going to be law. it may scale,
1:12 am
it may go down, i mean, it's bad. i'm not saying that and it's not. but such a wide swath of damage in one place that just takes, takes over just over and over and over at that sound. it sounds truly devastating, and i'm, i'm wondering, you've been a part of all kinds of weather events in houston. you're just talking about tornadoes. there. is this out of the ordinary for the region? yeah, we are. um we have to, rachel, uh, happened in may of 1999. so it was about 35 years ago. uh it was may, 4th and 5th of 1989. so it happened to, uh, and we also had one in 1986. but you are the one that was in 1980. i was generally to the north of houston, so we worked out affected by it. but the one in 1996 really didn't affect houston and surrounding areas. and i see the level of destruction when that happens. as
1:13 am
