It is very windy where I am, gusting to at least 40mph in my area which is about 15-20 miles south of the reported funnels. I'll keep you posted!

Will League City get SHAFTED again?!?!?!?!?!?!
Maybe I'm imagining things, but I thought I saw a rotating cell in SE Harris county...around NASA or so, heading towards Shoreacres/La Porte. There's also some storms SW of Houston around Wharton county...they don't look as severe as the ones in town, but they are coming toward me and it'll be a while before they get there. Maybe I'll see some action after all!
