It's as dark as night out there!

We had one like that yesterday morning. All the automatic lights came on.

It appears that you got a little sprinkle.

Here's what it looked like at my place.

You live in a swamp! What do you expect?

LOL - Tell me about it! We've only lived here going on three years (lived in Galveston before), so this is the first time we've had this much rain at one time. It looks like other places got it a lot worse than we did.

ABC 13 had a report on a Tornado in Seabrook (on the 10:00 news).

I'm not usually impressed by thunderstorms (usually just a bunch of weatherman FUD that ends up being a dud) but today's storm were quite strong. Our street flooded and several of the neighbors' cars got water inside of them. My dad's truck was parked on the street and avoided getting water by just the slightest of margins (the water line was already past the bottom of the door on the outside). After the sun came out I took my bike to the park hoping to see how full the retention pond in it was only to find the entire park (including the original ponds) was one giant lake.

Lots of rain for two days. Friday on the way home I checked the TXDOT traffic on my cellphone on the way home. I do not think I have ever seen so much red on that map. My phone actually was passed around the whole van for everyone to see.

Yesterday we decided to stay home and read. I am very glad we did. There was a report on street flooding and it was less than a mile from here. Water was at least 2 feet high in places on Mason road. We had a couple of pools in our backyard. I knew we had a couple collection areas back there, now I know exactly where they are.

Glad people here made it through ok.
