Our severe and heavy rain threat should diminish over the next few hours with only isolated showers and storms by late evening (we are now on the extreme western edge of the SPC slight risk zone). The end is in sight! Except for fog in the morning, tomorrow should be mostly sunny with lower dewpoints (but hot with temps. nearing 90F).

[Yankeegirl]

good... the clouds here look very threatening...

[southerngale]

It looks like we still have a ways to go over here. It's pouring. With the wind whipping and the rain coming down sideways, it gives an eerie reminder of Rita last year. Of course the winds aren't even close to as strong as they were then...it's just the sideways rain gave me a little flashback.

[Miztiki]

Dang. Lightning just hit somewhere really close to here. There was no time between the strike and the crack.

It's been raining and blowing pretty hard here again. We seem to be in the leading edge of that training thing.

I'm ready for this "event" to be over.

lets pray for them

It's still very dark and pounding rain under the BC Dome, Yankee. This is so weird. It'll get light for about 15 minutes, then pitch black and pouring for another 15 minutes. Been doing this for the last 2-3 hours. Thank Heavens for the breaks in between; had it been continuous downpours, we'd be putting up furniture by now.

[Extremeweatherguy]

Looks like the end is near for places west of I-45. Probably just another few hours of showers/storms. However, it looks like areas east of I-45 could be in for a long night!

Hey Duckie! I hope you didn't lose too many feathers getting home from work. Um... you DID make it in to work this morning right?

Heya Tex - I'm not familiar with Sagemont, where exactly is that? I'm assuming inside the Loop?

Brazoria county up through SE Houston is getting hammered now. Could be my distorted view from lack of sleep, but the training line seems to have slowed down. Katdaddy, be prepared from some serious rainfall rates over the next few hours.

Well, that is true; I'm just expecting everyone to follow my twisted train of thought. I know you made the post, but talking about Galveston made me think of our own GalvestonDuck, who hasn't chimed in to this thread since early this morning. Anyone else heard from her?

[CajunMama]

Not a quack out of her!
