HOUSTON – As a line of severe weather moved towards the Houston metro area, the KPRC 2 Storm Tracker was out keeping you updated with live traffic conditions.
While driving on U.S. 290 near Cypress on Thursday, KPRC 2 reporter Gage Goulding and photojournalist Adrian Crooks intercepted what would eventually be determined to be an EF-1 tornado.
KPRC 2 Chief Meteorologist Frank Billingsley helped viewers understand the live weather conditions by analyzing what was happening around the Storm Tracker.
For several minutes both the crews in the Storm Tracker and the meteorologists back at the KRPC studio used this real-time information to help warn others in the direct path of the tornado.
