=== Walmart Parking Lot Devastation (04:39) ===

[00:00:01]  All right, folks, Owen Troyer here for InfoWars.com.
[00:00:03]  We're in the parking lot of, well, I'm not even sure, to be honest with you.
[00:00:08]  This is a gas station that has been completely devastated.
[00:00:13]  The entire roof of this gas station is torn off.
[00:00:16]  You can see the McDonald's drive-thru has been completely wrecked.
[00:00:20]  We're in a Walmart parking lot.
[00:00:22]  I mean, look at all the debris from everything on the road here.
[00:00:26]  Downed power lines floating here.
[00:00:29]  I think Harrison has to get out and you can see just wires just floating, hanging, signs damaged.
[00:00:38]  Harrison is out in the street now trying to move some of this debris so that we can pull through.
[00:00:46]  We're in the parking lot of a Walmart and there's a Lowe's across the street.
[00:00:54]  We're going to show you the damage that's been done to this Walmart and the Lowe's.
[00:00:59]  I'm just getting pelted with rain here.
[00:01:00]  It's obnoxious.
[00:01:02]  And it's completely destroyed.
[00:01:07]  And we're not even in Rockport yet.
[00:01:11]  We're probably still, I don't know, 15 miles away from Rockport at this Walmart.
[00:01:18]  And the destruction here is incredible.
[00:01:23]  I mean, you wouldn't even know that this store could have been doing business just a few days ago.
[00:01:31]  It's that destroyed.
[00:01:31]  We're going to try to manage our way through all the wreckage here, but it is no joke.
[00:01:38]  Look at that.
[00:01:39]  That's part of the roof of the gas station right there.
[00:01:42]  That's part of the roof of the gas station, folks.
[00:01:44]  All the way over here.
[00:01:48]  So we're just going to document all this damage here real quick.
[00:01:51]  So here's what you're looking at.
[00:01:53]  The sign of the Walmart, completely gone.
[00:01:57]  Completely ripped.
[00:01:59]  There's the Payless shoe store sign on the road.
[00:02:03]  Not sure how that got there.
[00:02:04]  There's the other Walmart sign, just completely ripped off of the wall.
[00:02:09]  The drywall is literally, it's like hanging by a thread right now.
[00:02:13]  It looks like you've got the Cotton Global Disaster people out here.
[00:02:18]  You've got a car over there with a GoPro sitting on its dash.
[00:02:21]  That's an interesting one.
[00:02:24]  So again, here's some of the destruction here in this Walmart parking lot.
[00:02:28]  Now, across the street, oh yeah, there's another mobile home that's been completely overturned over there, too.
[00:02:34]  I don't know if you can see that.
[00:02:37]  There's a tree down.
[00:02:39]  The rain is starting to pick back up.
[00:02:41]  You see the lows here is just utterly destroyed.
[00:02:43]  And the same thing happened to the lows that happened at Walmart.
[00:02:47]  Just completely destroyed.
[00:02:49]  Just the wind.
[00:02:50]  Just wrecked the roof.
[00:02:51]  I mean, that is incredible.
[00:02:52]  There's a pile of debris under that Lowe's right now.
[00:02:56]  Just a total pile of debris.
[00:02:57]  Multiple trees down.
[00:02:59]  Multiple power lines down.
[00:03:01]  Another mobile home flipped over here.
[00:03:06]  Just siding just all over the place.
[00:03:08]  You don't even know where it originates from.
[00:03:10]  Signs everywhere.
[00:03:11]  Just hunks of scrap metal.
[00:03:13]  There's the flipped mobile home right there.
[00:03:18]  Just totally flipped.
[00:03:20]  Wow.
[00:03:21]  Completely destroyed.
[00:03:22]  Here's a street sign, 100% down.
[00:03:26]  Here, let's exit and just document the roof of the gas station again.
[00:03:31]  Folks, it's really been tough on us out here.
[00:03:33]  We can't get any connection.
[00:03:34]  We'd love to be live broadcasting all of this, but unfortunately, there's no connection, so we just have to record these videos and get them uploaded later whenever we can.
[00:03:44]  But look at the roof of this gas station.
[00:03:46]  It's completely gone.
[00:03:50]  100% gone.
[00:03:53]  I don't wanna run over this stuff.
[00:03:55]  Alright, so Harrison's gonna have to get out and clear the path again.
[00:04:00]  Even, I mean, just look at all the damage.
[00:04:02]  Just hunks of scrap metal.
[00:04:04]  I mean, this is going to take a long, long time to clean up as Harrison is doing his best effort to help the process right now, cleaning up hunks of scrap metal.
[00:04:18]  From the road, you can see the destruction.
[00:04:20]  There's a garage door over there that's been busted out by the wind.
[00:04:24]  The drive through McDonald's, that's going to have to be replaced.

=== Continue to Devastation (00:45) ===

[00:04:27]  And they're just going to have to pretty much probably rebuild this entire roof of this gas station here.
[00:04:34]  So, really incredible the sights we're seeing.
[00:04:37]  And again...
[00:04:38]  We're not even to Rockport.
[00:04:41]  If that sustains more wind, that sign's probably coming down too.
[00:04:47]  Look at this ready ice machine just sitting on the road.
[00:04:51]  Who knows where that thing came from.
[00:04:53]  That's a heavy piece of machinery itself.
[00:04:54]  That thing just got flown from somewhere.
[00:04:57]  So we're going to hop back on the road here and continue to head towards Rockport.
[00:05:03]  Continue to...
[00:05:05]  Show you some of the devastation along the way.
[00:05:09]  Owen Schroyer signing off for now.
