Thanks Rob...

Yup, I woke up earlier to my weather alert going off...severe thunderstorm watch. But I thought "yeah, right" then a little while later I heard thunder. :o
That's a very familiar sound that I haven't heard too much of lately.

Yeah southern...looks like these storms are getting their acts together all along the coastline. I've been on top of this developing situation for a few hours now and things will only worsen farther east. So far no real tornadoes, but high winds and some relatively smaller hail than last night. Stay tuned!

Nothing bad here so far. There is/was a severe thunderstorm just to my southeast and it looks like Mississippi is getting some strong storms too.

I just checked radars for your area...most have dived to the SE along the initial line and sheared off. There are still a few smaller ones back building within the instability along the coast line. Still a chance, but you're right, farther east of you they will be getting slammed into the late afternoon.

It has been pouring here for a few hours now. Lots of thunder and lightning! I've got a lake in my front yard already and it keeps developing to my west and heading east. I wonder if we'll still have T-ball practice today at 5:00. :o

Wow we are getting another round of major thunderstorms here on the East side of Houston - raining like crazy. Been doing this all morning - guess the tailend of this severe weather won't miss us. I'm staying indoors.

Southerngale - be on the outlook - more is coming your way.

Here is our scenario for this afternoon
Flooding, hail could be possibility with Thurs. storms
A flood watch is in effect through Thursday evening for the entire area as a severe weather system moves in from the west.

SG beat me to it!! Looks like we are done here. Brief heavy downpours and now the sun is trying to peek out. Can you say STEAMY!!!????

lol guys...I tried to warn ya of those backbuilders! heehee These are mostly heavy rains and some embedded thunderstorms, problem is they are taking their time moving out.
