Stormline is just getting here. Wife went into H early, at 4:30, for some OT. She is the only one there, she suspects everybody caught in traffic and storm at once. Out here in the neighborhood, we often loose power in storms for 6-14 hrs, plus there is a creek that overflows the banks about 600ft in front of the house in the Sam Houston forrest. Fortunately we are on a hilltop and not in the floodplane.

txhurl: I hope your daughter stayed safe and at home. I will investigate those Hill country sites that you recomended.

I wish the front and rain would move East a little faster. It just keeps streaming up from the Gulf and looks like it will continue into the afternoon for this area!

The day we got the rental truck unloaded here in our new digs a big T-Storm rolled through here in the evening and caused the power to go out for about an hour and a half. Luckily I always keep one of those six volt lanterns in my truck, easy to find. Lit up the whole kitchen when setup aimed at the ceiling.

Thanks, she did stay home. She fought me at first until I showed her some radar.

Lake is rising nicely since we don’t have to over-irrigate the Wharton Co. farmers anymore.

What God tooketh away, he’s givething back!

Storm line is about an hour west of us. We've had 30 mph wind gusts since noon. I'm hoping and praying that the storms diminish in intensity with the setting of the sun, but they really aren't predicting that.

Hope y'all made it through without damage. Right now I'm glad I don't have anything in the garden ... it would have been blown flat by now.
