NOTE: The leading edge of a line of intense thunderstorms extends from Lufkin to Coldspring to Conroe to Waller and is moving steadily southward toward the Houston/Galveston Metropolitan Area. These storms will likely produce strong gusty winds...hail and very heavy rainfall with possible funnel clouds and tornadoes. The line should arrive in Downtown Houston by 2:00 PM CDT and Galveston Island by 4:00 PM CDT.
A Tornado Watch has just been issued by the Storm Prediction Center for all of the Houston/Galveston Area until 6:00 PM CDT and a Flood Watch is also in effect until Midnight CDT tonight for all of Southeast Texas.
I might actually get some of this today

I think they may be too busy because I get an occasional glimpse. But I haven't been able to use it for the last 30 minutes or so. The situation has stabillized considerably, at least for now, in W. Houston where I am. It looked like all heck was coming but it didn't materialize at my location. With 6" of rain for the month already we really don't need any more like we had the other day and they are saying this could get worse than that!!
Still not out of the woods, to say the least, with an active sea breeze and more disturbances coming in from the West!!!

Ok, I be drowning here. I'd love to tell you what the rain gauge says but I'd have to put on my hip waders to get to it. VIVID lighting and thunder. It is raining cats and dogs here and has been for the past hour. From what I've read, I got more to look forward to since I gotta drive to Dallas tomorrow.
SUCH FUN.
