^ I think the biggest threat now is going to be flash flooding. The rain came down hard. Major ponding and some street flooding here in CLL. Muchos lightning.

Like the last MCS storm on Wednesday night, it's hit the wall over TAMU for severe weather. The MCS may get a second wind closing in on the HOU area.

We've split another MCS apart! We may see a second wave soon.

I may take pictures of the lawn tomorrow. This time of year and early October before brown patch season have been about the only times it is really green. 2% Iron in Sta-Green fertilizer helps survive summer watering (alkaline water and soil).

I'm hoping it will move fast enough to get some lightning in the windows drama during the Astros game tonight.

Probably won't, given the faster games this year.

I'm thinking folks leaving the game might get caught in this unless it comes in fast.

The line here is weak sauce. All good. We don’t need any rain here.

Looks like the MCS will hold together to the coast.

Pretty potent here right now with frequent gust to 40-50mph with heavy rain.

Cows peeing on pavement here, but no hail and not much wind.

The back side ain't mailing it in, either. Light rain but a good bit of thunder and lightning.
