I'm fine, thanks. Just need an ark!!

Unless it changes, get ready for pretty much nonstop thunder and lightning and torrential rain. Lots of cloud to ground lightning - actually quite an amazing lightning show. Nothing severe at my house, just a lot more rain that wasn't needed. Pine Island Bayou is already a few feet above flood stage... only minor flooding so far, but it never has a chance to go down because we keep getting several inches of rain every few days or so. Oh well, what can ya do?

Y'all stay safe over there!

SHAMBURGER

[PTrackerLA]

We could use some, it's been about 9 days since the last measurable rainfall and we're still running deficits on the year. Unfortunately these storms look like they want to cut into my sleep time because they won't reach us until after midnight.

[vbhoutex]

Ended up with 3.3" of rain out of the event and more flooding than the last storms we had in this area of Houston. In fact the water got higher than I have seen it in 22 years in this house. This flash flooding every week is getting old real fast!!! I haven't heard any damage reports from the area, so hopefully those radar determined winds were above ground level and never got to the ground.
50% for tomorrow makes some sense if we get any daytime heating tomorrow. Does someone have a matter transporter so we can send it somewhere else??

[Dave]

We've got flood warnings in effect and advisories posted to our W & SW part of Indiana already for tonight so they don't need anymore water but if you can send it my way into southeastern indiana because we've been under fire warnings for several days now. Dry as a bone over here. Saw thunderstorms are beginning to move into the west central part of Indiana now though.
