Post office on Aldine bender just Collapsed

KHOU just reported on tv it was a USPS sorting facility

HFD tweeted it, pics at the link https://twitter.com/HoustonFire/status/ ... 0351490048

HFD is responding to a building collapse on Aldine Bender Road. The flat roof of a post office facility mail distribution area collapsed. The building was occupied at the time but everyone made it out. 3 people are being transported with minor injuries. @FireChiefofHFD

Check the visible satellite loops. Tells the story. It's like feeding a monster.

Huge blow up going up around Katy

people, stay put - don't drive in this stuff https://www.harriscountyfws.org/

The sun is coming out, here in New Waverly, just inside the Walker County Line. We haven't had much rain, at all. Hot and Muggy...

East end is getting pounded baker hughes om navagation blvd is sending ppl home

I am also wondering to what extent, if at all, the southerly jet feeding in from the south is going to have on the speed of the line as it tries to move south.

Storms died off northwest of Houston thankfully.

can confirm. it's trying to moderate some as the heaviest has moved south. lightning was intense as any i've seen, and can still here the rolling thunder from down south.

Water finally receding around my home in Kingwood (King’s Manor). Came in 4 ft into the garage. Had to make makeshift sandbags with trash bags filled with water.

Saw a pic elsewhere of the Kingwood HEB flooded to the sidewalk.

Hope everyone else is safe.

The northern rainband upstream from me is falling apart. Looks like the southern bands down in Houston are cutting-off the inflow. This is good news for me but not good news for folks south of me. We'll see how long it lasts. I am concerned about afternoon instability ramping things-up again upstream from me later on though. I'm also really watching to see if this band stalls and/or pulls back north later today or tonight.

It's not over 'till it's over....

Mets on S2K pointed out the gravity waves off to the southwest of us. Not a good sign.

I guess that's where the Jet Stream diverges.

Yes, lots of energy feeding this thing. I don't see it stooping anytime soon. Yes the bands will shift around based on mesoscale interactions, but overall, the blob is getting fed by lots of energy. Theta-e will be crazy with heating on the west side, getting pumped right into it. I would expect the SPC or WPC to issue a statement on this before too long.

i had a very sneaky suspicion that we would need to keep an eye on the SW as the day wore on. i think what i was seeing earlier was a major inflow of moisture that cause the Katy area flare up. those feeder cells keep merging with the main line and just adding to the deluge. street and sidewalks are fast-moving rivers.

Just got word that 99 Eastbound near the San Jacinto river is closed; everyone must exit Rayford.

FYI: HGX advises the radar on their homepage/site is no longer updating. Seems to be an issue with radar.weather.gov as well

Srain, does this radar use the HGX radar as well?

The reason I ask, it looks like it is just hanging out over Ft Bend County around Fulsher and Richmond area with no real movement as the storms are constantly being feed with moisture from the south.

Friendswood is getting absolutely pounded.
