Getting wind gust over 50mph now... Hobby NW 24 G 51 mph Now over 86,000 without power in the centerpoint area now. Preliminary wind gust from the NWS, showing the university of Houston measured a gust of 63mph! Impressive for non storm winds around here.

We have power up here in The Woodlands but it has been flickering all afternoon long. [I feel very fortunate!]
We lost power for 5 min in CLL. I was freaking out, because I just picked up my main home office computer yesterday, after it was sidelined for a month because of damage due to power surges.
Everything is cool...for the moment.

That twister escalated rapidly.
Potential big front next Thursday pushing highs down into the 60s.

Something to watch is the disturbance coming in with the cold front next week.Global models have gotten a little more aggressive with it and are showing cyclogenisis taking place.Forming potentially our first Gulf Low of the season.And could be a heavy rain threat depending on parameters.

No, the Power Lines down there are not designed to handle Winter Winds of up to 60 mph.
