TORNADO WARNINGS IN HOUSTON!!

#1 Postby vbhoutex » Tue Mar 18, 2003 12:35 pm

TORNADO WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN HARRIS COUNTY AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY! MULTIPLE FUNNELS REPORTED BETWEEN TOMBALL AND THE WOODLANDS ON THE FAR NORTH SIDE OF HOUSTON.

It is very windy where I am, gusting to at least 40mph in my area which is about 15-20 miles south of the reported funnels. I'll keep you posted!

Funnels confirmed by both the tower at Intercontinental Airport and Law Enforcement in Montgomery County. Quarter sized hail in downtown Houston at Minute Maid Park our baseball stadium.

Will League City get SHAFTED again?!?!?!?!?!?! :grr: :grr:

Maybe I'm imagining things, but I thought I saw a rotating cell in SE Harris county...around NASA or so, heading towards Shoreacres/La Porte. There's also some storms SW of Houston around Wharton county...they don't look as severe as the ones in town, but they are coming toward me and it'll be a while before they get there. Maybe I'll see some action after all!
