I just got back from a mini-chase. I left the office and headed north and got smacked by 50+ mph winds with some torrential rain near Bush Intercontinental. Lots of cg lightning also. More cells are popping up to the North in Walker and Montgomery County. It's not over by a long shot but the main line has already pushed through my area on the North side of Houston.

Stormsfury: Thanks for the radar loop. Lots of squally weather down here.
