Fear-mongering meteorological predictions abound.
The worst-case scenario for a large tornado striking Houston makes a hurricane look like high surf.

Spinning at 225 mph, the tornado touches down in southwest Houston, skirting the Astrodome and barreling through parts of River Oaks, Montrose and the Heights before exiting the city's northeast edge.

At the end of its run, the tornado will have killed as many as 23,700 people whose residences and business cannot withstand the deadly wind.

That's the conclusion of severe storm researchers using new data to model the effects of large tornadoes striking U.S. metropolitan areas such as Houston, Chicago and Dallas. The researchers say there is little data to know for sure how many people would die in urban structures in a large tornado.
Also predicted: If my aunt had a dick, she'd be my uncle!

When are these ass-hats weather-suits going to admit that their primary purpose in the universe is to scare the crap out of old people?
