When was the last time that the Houston area (SE Texas) saw a "real" severe weather outbreak?

Be careful what you wish for. There have been many localized outbreaks in the SE TX area (beginnings of November 21-22, 1992, November 23, 2004, and December 23, 2002), which have had tornadoes very close to the Houston area. I know cool weather is exciting, but realize it can also inflict horrendous damage. A powerful tornado hitting downtown Houston can be much worse than a tornado hitting downtown Dallas.
