I'm surprised we aren't hearing about flooding out here. But then, I'm not hearing about anything because the minute the wind blows stronger than 5 mph my Dish TV goes out. Just when you WANT to watch tv.

[AggieEngr04]

4+ inches and still raining hard. Some pea sized hail earlier.

I think that your peasize hail is an understatement. I went outside and it seemed like we were having a blizzard full of quarter sized hail! It was amazing to watch, but devestating for my vehicles.

The front street looked like the Colorado river.

And its raining hard again at 5:50p.

from your neighbor in Westbury....

Reports of quater sized hail 5 N of Tomball in Montgomery County

[srainhoutx]

Reports of HFD responding to numerous water rescues.

Looks like Humble will be in for round two. You all down south are really getting pummeled. Goodness gracious. My aunt was supposed to leave for Florida at 5:38 but they have delayed it until 7:00 pm. This will be an interesting set of hours coming up...

[srainhoutx]

2 inch per hour rainfall rates reported in Mission Bend. Worrisome that training storms look to continue over the next several hours.

Just got off the phone with my mom, back in Pasadena. Up to quarter size hail fell for a few minutes there. Streets are completely flooded. Looking like rivers from what I'm told. Lots of training going on. Be careful, everyone!

[srainhoutx]

Pea to dime sized hail reported in Pasadena and La Porte

[SusieinLP]

Getting hail here in La Porte on and off last 15 minutes. At first quarter sized. Now smaller. Very heavy rain too

[Belmer]

Yep, as Steve said, pea to dime size hail is falling. But I think when the hail first starts falling, it is much bigger than that. Like you said, up to quarter size. Crazy pictures from Reliant Stadium right now.

[srainhoutx]

Pea to marble sized hail reported 5 miles W of I-45 on FM 1488
