Those are some menacing storms with Tornado Warnings for counties north of Houston. I hope every one in the Houston area is watching these storms.

That includes Houstonia, ticka, vbhoutex, southerngale, and anyone else I may have missed! Be on guard tonight! :o

I am not repeating my post in another thread, but I am watching these closely. I am hoping they will pass off to the East, but now it appears they may still be building SW . With the temp still at 85º and the dp at 75º these storms still have plenty of fuel. humidity is at 77%. Definitely will be a rough evening in Southerngale's neck of the woods and possibly Ticka's. Houstonia and I may be on the lucky end if they pass East of the Metro. Almost everyone else is SW and S of me and may miss these. Can you say eyes wide open!!!! :o :o :o :o

[weatherlover427]

I will be monitoring these with you all! :o

Current radar shows this complex making a left turn N of Houston and apparently missing all but the NE fringes of the Metro.
http://weather.noaa.gov/radar/loop/DS.p ... khgx.shtml
I'm still going to monitor it till the threat is over for sure!!

[PTrackerLA]

Looks like Houston has gotten spared and the storms are appear to be slightly weakening.

[weatherlover427]

Beaumont may still be in for it. :o

[southerngale]

Yep, Beaumont got it. I picked up nearly an inch tonight at the house.
(on top of the .65" from early Thursday morning!)

I was out doing some late night shopping at Walmart after running errands and the rain was very loud, even in that huge supercenter. I can't believe how loud the thunder was in there. It was kinda funny...the customers kept commenting about how they weren't leaving yet and we're going to shop until it passed.

These were very welcomed storms. We're in a severe drought right now and can use every bit of rain we get. I know we had some power lines down from the storms early Thursday morning but I have no idea about Thursday night yet.

[vbhoutex]

We're under a severe thunderstorm warning and it is getting windy, up to 30 mph and raining. This set of storms seems to have settled down somewhat in my area while still possibly being at severe levels to my N. What I really don't like is the complex I see moving in from the WSW now over SA way. It should make it here too. If it will just stay below severe limits that will be fine because we need the rain bad!!!

[PTrackerLA]

Looks like Houston is getting hammered right now. I hope they aren't too severe for yall.

[weatherlover427]

How did you guys fare tonight?

[vbhoutex]

Depends on which side of town you are. During our first round tonight, my son called to check and make sure we were ok because he was at a Bennigans without power and had nearly had the truck he was driving "blown off the road", so it was much more severe to our N and NE. I haven't checked the rain gauge yet but we didn't get a lot of rain out of the last storms, at least in my area of W Houston.

However we have a second round on the way in right now and it looks like it is gonna be nasty for a while. I guess I'll be up till it passes.
