Just what you don't need after what you all went through yesterday! :o

Exactly Joshua!! Enough is enough!!! Presently steady around 15-20 mph with gusts to 31 mph at the AWS site closest to my office.

It could be worse, I imagine (not to downplay the situation though...)

There's also a wind advisory for the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and surrounding cities in North Texas through tonight.

Exactly! We could be getting...gasp...SN*W instead!

That could be yet to come! :o *shudders at the thought*

Where's my snow nazi sledge hammer!!!! Look what the wind blew in!!!

Speaking of wind- most sites in the city reporting winds sustained 20-30 with gusts ranging from 36-50 mph.

It's like a border line severe storm without the rain. Gusting to 40 here and there are some reports of it gusting to 50.

Now over 100,000 on the NE side of Houston without power!!!! We don't need this!!! Fortunately not affecting me yet.

Anyone up for cleaning up a mess?? Limbs and leaves everywhere. Fortunately only a few serious problems from the winds today, which did die down on schedule by 8 pm fortunately.
