Well we got two rounds of storms here on the east side. Looks like more storms might be building between San Antonio and Houston. Got rain, wind, thunder and lighting.....don't need anymore rain - put my garden in yesterday and don't want to drown it.

I drove thru torrential rains w/high winds on my way home from work this evening. It was storming. Still lightening, thundering and raining as I post this.

MScoast · #13 Postby **MScoast** » Mon Apr 07, 2003 8:27 pm

same here, bfez...if it keeps up we might have flooding problems here later tonight

#14 Postby **vbhoutex** » Mon Apr 07, 2003 11:50 pm

Everything passed south of me this afternoon. Areas to my south got dime sized hail. We only picked up about .2" of rain.

I don't like the radar west of SA though. that all has to come this way. Hopefully it will disapate before we get it or it will pass by us.

Everyone else stay safe!!
