Good luck & stay dry

Severe thunderstorm warning! Ultimate YouTube weatherman offers survival tips

The weather forecast for Tuesday evening is nasty, Houstonians. So nasty that even Frankie MacDonald, amateur weatherman and resident of Sydney, Nova Scotia, took notice.

In a video published to his YouTube channel on Sunday, MacDonald — who has gained notoriety for his fervent storm predictions — warns of a severe thunderstorm and makes suggestion for preparedness.

"People in Houston, don't go near the trees! Stay away from the windows!" he says in the video.

MacDonald continues with warnings of heavy rain and golf ball-sized hail and backed-up sewers. He suggests unplugging electronics, readying candles and battery-operated electronics, ordering pizza and Chinese food and stocking up on "pop."

Watch his warning above, and get more information on the forecast from KHOU 11 News.
