Houston woman describes scary moments during storm that moved her car and blew out her windows

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — After dash cam footage captures winds moving a car and blowing out the back window, the woman inside shares her story.

Darlene Brown said she was outside the Wells Fargo Plaza last Thursday, waiting to pick her brother up from work.

“He called me and said, ‘I’m stuck in the elevator,'” she said.

Shortly after, the winds picked up and debris began flying into his car.

“I thought I was going to explode in the air,” Brown said.

Brown said she stayed on the phone with her sister and crouched down as shards of glass and debris blew around her.

“I say, ‘I’m about to die.’ I say, ‘It’s going to sweep me out of this car, I’m going to die,'” she said.

Attorney Michael Lombardino is parked behind Brown. It was his camera that captured the wind blowing through the back window. His car is then pushed into a sidewalk.

“It really felt like I was going up in the air. It felt like he picked it up and moved it, and I thought he was going to take it away,” Brown said.

Brown survived the storm unscathed, but when she returned home that evening, she learned that a tree had fallen on her house.

“It couldn’t be worse. I just say, well, I don’t know what we’re going to do now,” she said.

Brown said she was able to cut and remove the tree from her home without any serious damage. His car is still in the garage.
