Only 0.04" here in League City near Friendswood. We are being missed but I will still take it. Great lightening show ongoing.

The rain is slowing heading towards you.

Massive amounts of lightening to my E across Galveson Bay. A few lonely cells near Alvin may pass through....I just want .25"

Awesome light show from NW Harris County. Eye turn West tonight. Have fun 'night crew'...

Yep we are ready for the night crew. Nice lightening show tonight and its been awhile.

Right now its skirting us here in Baytown/Mont Belvieu. I hear thunder in the distance and lightning. How long has it been since we have had thunder & lightning like this? Its been a long time...is my guess - sucks that the Dish Network is out too.

Folks in Liberty and Chambers Counties need to keep an eye out.

Training rain? Its here finally.

Texas City, heavy downpour, lightning/thunder, street flooded. they need to turn on the flood pumps. water exceeding the curbs, power flickering.

Pretty fierce here in Dayton. The rain just started in the last 15 minutes and it is coming down hard & fast and the lighting is making it daylight outside! Thunder isnt anything to sneeze at either - my 3 year old just requested his "ear muffs" because the funder is to youd! Good thing Mama invested in a kickass pair of noice canceling, junior racing hearing protection - you cant hear jack!

I me and my family are receiving a profusion of life giving rain. I am also hearing a rather strange sound that sounds very much like wind only the rain is not falling diagonally and the trees are not swaying either.

We lost power for a few minutes. Had to find the flashlights and using my wireless netbook to watch the radar. No flooding here - all the torrential downpours are soaking into the ground.

When will the next round of storms be here? Sometimes tomorrow?

Boy, that lightning sure is lighting up the night sky like a city with bright lights at night. Yeah, the last time that I remember a good soaking rain and thunderstorm this was back in late March.

From Jeff at Harris County Flood District-

"Watersheds handling the rainfall well. All within banks, although swollen. Keeping an eye on upper Halls Bayou and lower Langham Creek, but no issues at this time."

Due to heavy rains a car ran off Hwy 146 and into the Dairy Queen....they JUST got finished with all the redo after Ike...injuries involved...do not know how serious.

Hmm! Look out west...

I think we can have our next rain even from the west. It is west of Austin as I speak.

Nexrad indicating possible rotation in the storms now pushing off shore/over Galveston Bay near Galveston..

Yes, biggerbyte & Ptarmigan, I noticed that, too. Those thunderstorms still have more than ample time to become much more severe than what they already are. I noticed that a few severe thunderstorm warnings were on a few of them, but then they lost some of their intensity which is needless to say the reason why those warnings were discontinued.

Mariners, be cautious. they could produce waterspouts if allotted the opportunity.
