Hittting my area in Spring Branch right now. winds have guisted to around 50 mph and now the rain has started. So far nothing severe in this area of town. Winds have settled a little. Already 21,000 without power. daughter is on phone scared because of hail. I hope it isn't the large hail we have heard about with earlier storms. Now it seems to be letting up some here in Spring Branch but still getting plenty of lightning. Other metro areas are getting pounded! Good news is that storms are moving at up to 60 mph but of course that means there are winds that strong too.

All done here S of Houston in League City. Awoke the wife a few seconds before the blue flashes to the W. Got the baby and headed to the bathroom. I can honestly say this is the first time I heard winds that sounded like jet overhead. It only last a few minutes with pea size hail. Power went off for a minute or two. 50-60MPH at least.
Well its all over now.
Time to let the adrenalin where off and sleep.

First post here - Ok, that was kinda crazy!
The storm just blew through downtown Houston:: very fast and furious. Winds were howling and the lightening strikes were constant and intense - it was a major light show!
Centerpoint Energy reports 80,000 homes without power as of 10:40 pm.
It was (exciting and short-lived) here. I just hope the bayous and rivers hold their banks enough to prevent major flooding.
That's always the issue in Houston. It has been for the past 5 days.
