WWWW

Finally got the Hou/Gal radar to loop (after about a 10 minute wait) and those storms do mean business!! :o I'm monitoring this and they are definitely taking aim on Houston!! :o

The Houston National Weather Service took awhile to load for me, too. I don't believe it was literally 10 minutes. There must have been a lot of residents (and visitors) in the Houston area accessing it.
