Very impressive looking cell in Texas.

As stated in the posted bulletins, this storm has produced confirmed 100 mph winds and 2" diameter hail and continues to build or at least sustain. Calls have gone out for extra emergency help in that area according to local tv so the area has apparently been hit pretty hard. I will not be surprised by a confirmation of a tornado from this one before it is all said and done.
We are also watching more storms rapidly going severe S and W of this cell with more reports of hail in N Houston and possible rotation starting on cells moving into the Heights area just N of downtown Houston. It appears we have a very nasty line of storms developing and moving East from Houston.
