I will keep it in mind for a nominee as the Storm of the Month even though it was nothing!!!

Still, pretty cool. Not something you see every day.

Nice looking vortex with very high reflectivity as front and storms push offshore Upper Texas Coast



(I know, wrong side of the GOMEX, but that is impressive looking. I hope someone can get a loop or image capture.)
