Looks like something out of a horror movie, right?

 

The irony is that, even though all of us love our fair share of horror movies, we unfortunately do not have the dedication enough to even move our hands, grab our phones, and point them to a direction where blatantly eerie red clouds hover above our heads.

 

It's not our faults, though.  We're human.  We have busy lives.  We don't have time to engage in something petty, like looking up at the sky manically.

 

However, this creates a blindspot.

 

This blindspot manages to discourage people - in this case, millions of people in the DFW Metroplex on June 11, 2025 - into caring about what is above our heads.

 

The result?  Only a handful of people in a big city (with us being first on the scene, recording high-definition video close up) posting this event online.

 

That's alarming.

 

Granted, at the end of the day, these eerie red clouds were a nothing-burger.  They came about from a light source underneath.  The whole situation was benign.

 

However, this lack of action validates one thing - humans surely don't have the passion to care about weather.  On the contrary, humans surely LOVE to talk about how the next cold front will destroy the planet behind a screen.

 

What's the byproduct?  A bunch of people who will infiltrate the weather industry, and resort to 1 of 2 strategies:

 

1. Belittle every weather event, then throw shade at everyone else who hypes up weather events.

 

OR

 

2. Hype up every weather event, then throw shade at everyone else who belittles weather events.

 

Why?  Because none of them care about weather.  They're out there competing.  If they actually care about weather, they would be more focused on relaying weather information than proving others wrong.

 

For this reason, we unfortunately overlook the literal weather impacts from storm systems that we mockingly label "nothing-burgers" or "busts," such as this one:

 

 

 

We recorded this footage on January 9, 2025 in Garland, Texas.  A relatively typical severe weather event, with strong winds and hail, occurred across North and East Texas.

 

Many of us overlooked the flooding aspect.

 

Because flooding is not as "entertaining" as tornadoes, winds, and hail, we shrugged off this particular storm system as another severe thunderstorm event.

 

The result?  Us being one of very few (if any) outlets reporting on the flooding impacts that occurred from this storm system, and alerting those nearby to help in recovery efforts.  We assisted a few cars that were stranded there in the floodwaters - and that was even BEFORE we shot this footage, when the water was much higher.

 

You would believe that in a populated region, more people would focus their attention towards the important aspects of weather - like this.

 

They don't.  They focus on social media rankings.

 

We DO.

 

You can always trust North Tex Wx to bring you responsible footage updates and reporting.
