It'll reach downtown around 2:15 to 2:30pm.

[Katdaddy]

I estimated between 2:30 and 3PM this morning so I did pretty good for storm ATA

[srainhoutx]

No rain here in NW Harris County yet, but skies are getting dark so it shouldn't be too much longer of a wait after 2 months of nothing.

[Cuda17]

It was ferocious here in Bellville. Tree limbs down all over. Heavy wind and rain, lightened up a bit now, but looks like another band to come through soon...

[txflagwaver]

Need the rain ...not severe storms. Power out anywhere?

Looks like spotty outages out W in East Bernard and maybe far western Ft Bend County.
