Bow echo on the storm heading into College Station - there's shear up there.

Wind and gulleywashing. Have not seen any hail yet. This is a nasty broken line heading into the Houston area.

Lost power again, it was brief. It is storming here in Stafford! Hubby made it home just before the skies opened up. I told him he has good timing, he no sooner walked in the door, than the wind and rains came!

... and they laughed at me for driving ... ;) There are far worse places to be stuck. (As long as you’re still on the island.)
It’s dry so far up here 13mi from Hobby as of 10:15am. Obviously that’s about to change.
It was great to see you guys!!
Good visiting with you too Brooks. Bill Read is driving back now through this mess since our flight was cancelled. Most everyone still here are on the Island experiencing some CG and very chilly gales with the cold air behind the MCV.
Katdaddy and I "escaped" S. Padre on the 3:25pm flight yesterday. Glad I got out of there early.

Good afternoon. Is there any evidence of rotation in the approaching storms?

No. It's a squall line now. Straight line winds but most aren't severe level anyways.
