I had given up, but we had a nice downpour in Cypress I was in the indention to the west in the bottom image. The storm slide by me just to the east, then I got hopeful again when the more southern section formed, but that petered out just before it got to me. In the end though, it managed to rain ...

I left clothes out on the line to increase the odds.

Me either, but I'ld be totally cool with spreading all this rain out a little.

Same here. A lot of "So where's this storm going?" from the co-workers. Thanks everybody for making me look smarter than I really am!

On the back side of a nice 45 minute old fashioned Texas thunderstorm here in the far northwest. Was kinda nice.

This is the least exciting weather catastrophe I have ever been thru.

Strength and peace for the journey ahead Dan. Thanks for the time you spent helping us common folk understand a little bit more about how weather works.
