- Jimmy Beal knew he was in trouble when he watched the storm chasers race away. By the time he realized Beryl was more than he bargained for, it was too late to leave.

At least this thing whipped by quickly - it would be real bad if it slowed down. Those A frames would have been woodchips. And I can't believe the power grid hasn't been upgraded after the last few years of disasters that Texas has been through.
Kind of hard to upgrade power like poles until they break....or a transformer blows.
Gov. Abbott said he banned woke hurricanes so no need to upgrade the grid.
@@steveludwig4200 dont try to explain, it will go over his head.
Never underestimate hurricanes of any size! You never know what flavor hurricane will strike. Sometimes it's the rain, sometimes it's the wind, sometimes it's the tide. You never know so it's best to just get the heck out!
@@adancewithgod your right...but I don't live nowhere near the water and we were told to hunker down by city officials. That's what we did in the city and it was still bad! Lol so can't imagine where he live!
We have left before and nothing. It didn’t come. And we have stayed and it’s been bad too. We’ve done it both ways.
With the gulf water being so warm, it’s like gasoline to a hurricane. When are weather people going to factor that into the equation?
Nope, nope, nope. Always leave if you are able. Glad he and his dog are ok but hope he remembers this lesson.
I cannot imagine it if it would had been a catagory two or three. My poor dogs were very frightened. Somehow they knew something odd was up.
Maybe the noise, thunder, and you panicking. … lol
It's the change in air pressure, they can feel it in their ears.
There's nowhere safe anymore
Mother Earth can hit us anywhere anytime. We've abused our mother Earth now we're paying the price.
Hurricanes have been a factor for basically ever. Most hurricane records have yet to be broken from hundreds of years ago. Watch doesn’t even know we’re here.
@@GetThemLyrics This is a record-breaking hurricane We also just had a record-breaking heatwave in the west. I guess you don't watch the news or you just watch that good old propaganda on Fox News as they gaslight and dumbed down America?
HARRP
Thanks, lol!
How could he have lived right on the beach for 35 yrs and this category 1 storm scared him the most?
How about the OWNERS taking responsibility for themselves? They have EVERY tool in the world these days to track these storms DAYS out and can plan accordingly. They are acting like it was a freaking tornado in the middle of the night.
Could you please stop repeating your asinine comment.
I was wondering that. 🤔 I guess it was the path that happened to be just right there. I thought Hurricane Ike (Cat 2) went right over that area but maybe I'm wrong. Hope everything works out for him anyway. Must have been very scary.
@@stephanieh.1633Ike was to the east so he would have been on the clean side
I visited that area in 2021. There was a reason there were so many vacant lots available. I thought it was foolish seeing people building multimillion dollar dwellings right on the beach, when you could tell from the neighborhood across the street that something unfortunate had happened in the past. I knew it was going to happen again, and soon. Of course, it took three years, while, “soon,” ended up being Snowmageddon.
I guess that man was very lucky, but seeing the houses sitting on that pier, no way I would make that my permanent housing, or even an investment property. If that area were safe, Galveston would be a mega bustling city, not Houston. They really need to teach people about the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 in our Texas history classes.
I feel bad for everyone in the path, but I am ever so thankful that it didn't hit here with the impact that was originally expected in Corpus!! 😔
Poor man. God was with him and doggie.
Why was the fountain on in the rain?
Have these people never heard of going to a safe place just in case the storm strengthened before it made landfall
I’ve never seen Dallas so quiet 🤐
If you live on the beach or live at sea level, this is what you get!
Moreso in future decades than in past
@@SigFigNewton The only difference is, there's now more people in the way.
What a hateful comment. Why can’t people live on the coast?
Hope tax payers are not on the spot still paying insurance for rich people to rebuild time after time especially when they vote against the things that can help.
the water used to be 300 yards away in the 70s
a ship channel jetty stopped the sand transport and the beach eroded
To make matters worse, nobody in county leadership has yet to utter a word other than to tell people the courthose is closed on Tuesday. A little information and some signs of organization would be helpful.

Give them a minute to figure out how they can make money from the response and you will be hearing from them.
Great job, Governor Abbott, the Texas residents love love love you and Ted Cruz. So keep up the good work.
Republican officials?
Excuse me but did I see A-frame houses built on a pier? Seriously?
Dont they have any sense?
This is only 1.5C above pre industrial average temp. Wait until 2C in 10-20 years. Going to be fun!
You realize the earth heats and cools naturally. I can’t imagine humans are having a drastic impact on this.
@@GetThemLyrics then you do not understand atmospheric physics.
Sometimes people have a problem, understanding how something microscopic can have a great effect. That virus you had that put you in a hospital is so small you need an electron microscope to see it, yet it almost killed you.
We also have a Problem dealing with realities We cannot see. Like magnetism.
Anyway, science that we don’t understand, can still affect us greatly.
James Hansen wrote a book in 2008 called “storms of my grand children“. He goes through The science of climate change in the first 51 pages. It’s not super easy to read, but he is a really good writer and teacher. And he is not a BS artist which puts him ahead of most of what you’ll find on the Internet.
Thank you for your comment! All the best to you,
@@GetThemLyrics it doesn’t matter about your imagination. Human caused climate change is well on it’s way. Maybe a good time for you to learn something about it.
God be with all.
A barely CAT1 shocks? That must be those kids first storm lol. Lucky for them the season is just starting. They will get too see what real Hurricanes can do, then be shocked.😊
@buzz5969..we have lived in Texas all our life, and I must say this storm was different. It seemed more like a cat3:than a cat1. The man was right it was really shocking from storms we experienced in the pass.
It lasted to long the winds and heavy rain
from start to finish close to 12 hours..we rode the eye wall.
I'm so glad these two had each other through it. Shiloh is the bestest girl ❤
It was very scary. My dog and I spent 8 hours in a bathroom.

Hope everything came out OK. Sounds like it took a while to overcome that constipation. 🤣
We didn’t flood like Houston but got a few tornados in Longview I dodged trees for a mile on my way home from work
Not the A frames!!!!
so many homes gone since the 70s
Shocked?- You were warned for a week!
In fairness it was suppose to hit Mexico, then Brownsville, then Corpus, then Rockport, then Port Lavaca… he was pretty far north of the forecast tracks for the last week. Plus it didn’t hit hurricane strength until last night. Only the Icon model showed the path that Beryl ended up taking and it was an “outlier.”
@@dr.markevers8331 as soon as it entered the gulf you all knew to head for higher ground! Year after year it happens and every time there is always someone who decides ( OH we'll be ok here)! Knowing full well that it could stall , circle back- change directions at a moments notice! So there is no excuse!
@@genehasenbuhler2594 My husband's job, doesn't allow for a weeks vacation out of nowhere everytime a storm flares up in the Gulf.
@@theirmom4723 sounds lke a problem!
@@dr.markevers8331 what are you talking about, for a week it was forecasted to go either up toward htown or to mexico. what do you mean in fairness? its a forecast not a definite. thats what a forecast is. SO YES THEY HAD A WEEK TO PREPARE AND GTFO. ITS 2024 YOU have the LIVE doppler radar in the palm of your hands.
It wasn’t supposed to be that bad. That man is right. Forecasters could not get the track right. People were told it’s not coming here and then all of a sudden told it was. My parents too and we had been watching and watching.
I hope insurance doesn’t pay to rebuild those “iconic” A-Frames. This is why the insurance costs are going up in the whole country! To pay for beach/coastal homes to be repaired/replaced when they should not.
I mean, who ever saw damage from hurricanes before? It’s something no one ever’s been through so you had warnings of what it would be like. Ever. 🤦♂️
For those who didn’t prepare I really hope you’ve learned a Valuable lesson because you’ve known it was coming for a week and still chose to stay, y’all are very blessed to be alive thank God that you are.
A week ago they said it was going to Mexico.
They didn't "know it was coming for a week". Nobody did. A week ago it was expected to hit south of Brownsville. It wasn't even until Saturday morning that Houston was given a higher probability of tropical storm force winds than Austin.
You can't just up and leave when it hits the gulf. People here do work. We watched the weather. We listened to those that are supposed to have a bit of knowledge on these things. We did what anyone would do. They said Mexico then Brownsville, then Corpus, Then Port Aransas. By the time we knew what was what, we had approx 6 hours to get off this coast and find a place to stay on a holiday weekend. Not too easy to do.
And this was just a Cat 1...
Just power out and that will be back soon. You were lucky.
Yeah right. That guy lived though Ike and all the other hurricanes in the last 50 years that were WAY WORSE. And this one scared him the most? BS….
the wind roared for 12 hours
Everybody knew or were told numerous times. Texan here and everyone I know either left on vaca for a few weeks or had generators. A dog acting like something was happening was not dead. My dogs even let me know things were not normal and we were totally not involved.
my dad always stayed to stop the looters
@@mike_w-tw6jd and I always stay for my dogs. I have made prior arrangements for power and AC. Staying only makes sense if the heat afterwards doesn’t do ya in. I’m sure your dad didn’t stay without prepping for what he considered necessities to survive. For me that’s food for myself and dogs, medication and first aid for myself and dogs, Electricty and AC for myself and dogs and a way if at all possible to evacuate for myself and dogs if my house completely blows away. But that also involves keeping trees cut back so they are not so top heavy they fall over out of the ground or so tall they entangle the power lines. That appears as the most critical issue for most homes these days. Those old oak and pecan trees have to be thinned out often to keep them healthy and safe.
Always remember-Mother Nature bats last.
Karma loves greed
Can you get insurance building a house there in the water???
They’d probably be willing to insure you if you paid half your property value to them each year
Not likely
Yep and it makes those of us inland pay a much higher than necessary rate b/c we share a zip code.
in the 1970s the water was at least two hundred yards away
"I didnt think we were going to make it??????" Its called a HURRICANE!!!! Get out when a storm comes and you LIVE on the water. Are you kidding??????
lol two structures and nothing much else huh.
There was a category one ain't nothing that big y'all
Never learn GET OUT The surge is what catches y.
Lot of people and property between Surfside and Houston. Acknowledge Brazoria county...did the hospitals come through?,does anyone have power?are schools in one piece? How many of 300,000+ people were severely affected?
Houston ain't all that
Ban geoengineering!
Wow
These stories comes out every time a hurricane hit. Why do people stay after constantly hearing these stories. It's true. Don't F with mother nature 😮
Is your home open for us to come to?
I'm in the area. I left

How about you not posting the exact same message 1000 times.
CZcams should put a ban on people like you.
Unfortunately trump's sharpie cain't change it
President Trump lives for free in your mind..get over it and pay more attention to The Potato.
He is wyte. Who cares lol
Weird, am far more used to seeing gross racism against minorities
😂😂😂
Y'all can eat a fat one 😘
wyte? Someone who cannot spell trying to make a racist comment and failed.
