Houston (West University/Upper Kirby):
Had light showers this morning, but they cleared out about an hour ago. Somewhat overcast, but the sun is still peeking through. Very light breeze, clouds still moving sluggishly. All our windows are eastward facing.
12:30 central: Wind is certainly picking up. All the garden flags around the apartment complex were fluttering lightly in the gusts. Since there are still puddles in the driveway from this mornings light showers, we went ahead and moved the car to the second story of the garage.... although if the cars were to flood out we'd be in trouble anyways. Better safe than sorry ^_^
4:50 central: Starting to hear distant thunder every few moments. The sky is looking very pretty- small bands of darker clouds mixed with bands of lighter clouds. So far no rain, but it's getting that heavy air feeling that you get before a doozy. The neighbor's dog is freaking out and barking at every noise and our cat would exist inside my husbands body if he got any closer. First time probably ever that the cat wouldn't even peek his nose outside of the apartment when I opened the door to get a look at the storm (He's an indoor cat but he likes to pretend I let him out). He gave me a "Oh hell no you crazy monkey- I'm not going out there" look and went back to hide in Alan's lap =)
6pm central: Thunder seems to have stopped without any actual rain. Lighter clouds are gone- we're at about 50%grey (color not cover- 50% between back and white, photoshop term). Cover is around 80-90%. It looks like it could just open up and pour any moment now but we're not even getting sprinkles. We're inside 610, south of I10, west of 45, and right on top of the E-W stretch of 59. Looks like it could be a long night.

I'm not sure if this information should be posted here, but I think it presents some useful data. Here is a link to some webcams in Galveston, Texas - you can monitor live conditions.
http://www.galveston.com/webcams/
There are some large waves coming ashore along Galveston Island.

Also, the wind is picking-up. This morning it was still.
I work in an office building connected to the Galleria.
Some rain this morning, but not much since then.
Maybe someday we can have a Houston area S2K meeet-up at the Ninfa's by the ice rink after work.

Re: TS Humberto: Threat Area: Texas, Louisiana
This morning was pretty nasty but the rest of the day it has rain heavy on and off. BUT if this thing makes no movement tonight i think we might be in for it if it turns more north than it is.

Some blue sky visible through break in mid-uuper deck at home 1960/I-45 area. Breezy, but nothing extraordinary. Looks ominous to the South, but just sprinkles on drive home.
