9. Oh good! I always worry about the folks back home!

I’m in Seattle now but as the name implies, old NOLA and Gulf Coast gal. Stay dry. Or at least only damp.

2. It stopped raining in Wharton at about 3:15 which is 60 miles o the southwest of Houston.

The thunder was rumbling for about five hours, with frequent roars and a few booms. There is plenty of water standing in the courtyard of the apartment complex, but I didn't see any alerts for tornadoes. There wasn't much wind, so the likely damage will be due to flooding.

3. Under flash flood watch and the area ponds & streams already at flood stage.

Been raining for several days on and off. Latest round making it worse.

Above the coast here but also getting hit.

Road conditions are deteriorating fast across much of the county. Do what you can to STAY HOME and OFF THE ROADS. If you must go out monitor https://t.co/RnVVov54tn for current high water locations.

NEVER enter a flooded roadway. Turn Around Don't Drown.
