For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a

Large hail and damaging winds and continuous cloud to ground
lightning is occurring with these storms. Move indoors immediately.
Lightning is one of nature`s leading killers. Remember, if you can
hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning.

Torrential rainfall is occurring with these storms, and may lead to
flash flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.

Bow echo on the storm heading into College Station - there's shear up there.

Wind and gulleywashing. Have not seen any hail yet. This is a nasty broken line heading into the Houston area.

Lost power again, it was brief. It is storming here in Stafford! Hubby made it home just before the skies opened up. I told him he has good timing, he no sooner walked in the door, than the wind and rains came!

Raining pretty good here but that's about it. Definitely seen worse.

It’s dry so far up here 13mi from Hobby as of 10:15am. Obviously that’s about to change.
It was great to see you guys!!

Good visiting with you too Brooks. Bill Read is driving back now through this mess since our flight was cancelled. Most everyone still here are on the Island experiencing some CG and very chilly gales with the cold air behind the MCV.

Katdaddy and I "escaped" S. Padre on the 3:25pm flight yesterday. Glad I got out of there early.

Good afternoon. Is there any evidence of rotation in the approaching storms?

No. It's a squall line now. Straight line winds but most aren't severe level anyways.

lost power here a couple times when it started to blow through Cypress area, lightning took out something - wind died down a bunch since that though - hope it stays that way, sure is dark out for < 1PM

Patiently waiting in Beaumont. Keep posting from Houston so we can somewhat tell what’s headed our way in the Golden Triangle. Winds. Flooding. Lightning. Hail. Pray nothing severe for anyone.

Line went through SW Houston pretty quickly. A little over 1 inch of rain and gusty wind. Didn't see any hail in Westbury.

Was short lived here in Stafford.

Hopefully nothing touched down from the tornado warning around Deer Park. Don’t exactly need stuff spread from there.

One of my Transport Drivers is offloading Nitrogen ay KMCO in Crosby.
They shut him down due to a “possible” tornado.

Pretty much over here in Pearland.

Looks like most locations across Houston got a half an inch to an inch. The line moved through fast enough that it really limited the flooding threat locally. The bullseye for heavy rain was really centered across the hill country where radar estimates up to 7 inches were reported. It looks like for the rest of the week warm conditions and sunny skies will be the primary theme. Next weekend we could see another chance of rain as a similar looking system rotates through the state.

Gusty winds are the primary threat. Looks like storms are moving quickly enough that most of the region should escape major flooding concerns. Could still see some street flooding.
