Ugh - the cell to my west that prompted the Tornado Warning about 30 minutes ago is heading east toward me. Hopefully it will weaken before it gets here.

There's a nasty looking rotation down near Bellaire and 59 (I think David lives down near there -- SW Houston).

Y'all stay safe!

all these storms today seem to be forming within miles of my location and then they miss me. It is really quite strange.

Ok.... Edit... It has gotten really dark here and I can actually hear what sounds like thunder!! The clouds look very omnious, like the ones that form when the atmosphere is unstable, I cant remember the technical name for the clouds.... Its so dark now, I can see the lightning...


Yet I can still see its still a little bit to my east....

It's been lightning and thundering like crazy here for a while now. It's very dark out there.

I am about to get slammed myself. There is a HUGE line of storms just over the river in LA that has really grown in size and strength and should be here in the next hour and the NWS has extended the Tornado Watch and it now includes my area. Yall be careful out there! These storms mean business!

EWG, that line is weakening rapidly, as is the one just getting into Harris county. I think the worst is over for the Dome. Still lots of thunder rumbling around, but just light rain.

starting to get periods of heavy rain here as those two line segments move in. Lots of cool mammatus clouds at the beginning too! it does look like a general weakening trend is in the works though.

It's almost over now, but I now have to dry out my master bath again. Yard man is going to get a talking to!!! Blocked out back yard drainage(what little there is)by blowing leaves into the garden and against the fence and blocked the drainage out of the yard!!! AAARRGGHHH!!!! We've had almost 3" here today and most of it in about an hour.

Had a lightning strike so close that my son and I both needed to change pants afterwards!!! :eek: :eek: :oops: :oops: Still haven't decided if it knocked over the neighbors garbage can or not, but it was up before the strike and down afterwards, but we were also having street flooding and it was in the street. Guess we'll look closer when the rain stops and see if there is any sign of a hit close enough to knock it over. I know a direct hit would have totally melted it.

We had the same problem with leaves clogging the drainage swales between the houses. I'll have a word with MY yardman about it! :-D

I just got at least another 3/4 of an inch with this storm up here in Montgomery County. My garden is taking a beating. Hopefully the hot weather over the weekend will dry things out a bit.
