In College Station, about 60-70 miles WSW of the center. We've been getting a lot of strong gusts for several hours. Just a few minutes ago, a large tree landed just outside the window of the room where we were watching TV (and reading this thread, of course!). The tree came to rest against the window, just two feet from where my wife was sitting. Amazingly, no window breakage, but I suspect that the tree clipped the corner of the roof on the way down. I'm not going outside to check yet.

Thanks for your local update. Very pleased to know you are safe. Soon enough, the sweet sound of chainsaws will fill the air.

Nice pic. It illustrates why folks are warned to stay away from windows during storms.
