I left during the afternoon and didn't get home until earlier tonight, but we got several inches of rain here. I kept thinking it was over and another round would come. I didn't have access to a radar. Needless to say, T-ball practice was cancelled.

Btw...Thanks for all the maps you post Rob. I really appreciate them and I'm sure others do as well.

[Rob-TheStormChaser]

No problem southern...I'm just monitoring someone else's weather since I cant be a part of it physically! lol I wish I could be in these storms and doing my thing....soon enough I'll have many chances!

Looks like tomorrow into Tuesday it'll be back...heads up ARKLATEX region.
