Storm tips over mail truck, damages homes in southwest Houston

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Footage from a camera in front of Frank Gongora’s home captures the moment heavy rain and strong winds pushed over a mailman’s vehicle, knocking it to the side.

He was inside when it happened.

“I just heard very strong winds, and then I heard my wife scream and a loud crash, and I ran out to the living room,” Gongora said.

Another camera from his backyard shows a different angle – the fence rattling as the storm knocks over plants.

“I opened up the back door, and that’s when I saw the big old piece of steel and patio, and a portion of my fence was knocked over,” Gongora said.
