We've had a run of bad weather in recent months among our small group here. A couple of flooding spells in Houston which fucked people all around me (within 10 minutes), Bill getting flooded and your close call.

I'm just thankful everyone made it out okay.
Thanks man. It was a bit of a tense evening. All three news stations broke in live on air around 5 or 5:30 and stayed on air the entire time until after 9pm giving constant live updates and analysis and showing the radar scans to warn people. It was a bit funny because in addition to killing off most of the primetime TV schedule that night, they completely killed their 6pm newscasts, so it was 11pm before any of the stations had their first newscast since noon.

But it helped, because they were able to get a good look at the storms on radar and relatively pinpoint where the most threatened areas were in regards to the tornadoes. Some of the scans, you could see a pretty defined hook start to form, making it easy for even those at home to know exactly where the tornado was on the map.

We definitely lucked out though. That thing probably would have majorly fucked up this town if it had come into town instead of just brushing to the north. The damage that it did do out north, it would have done so major carnage in town.

Hopefully all of us here can get a break from the weather, lol. I know I'm all weathered out. I'm fine with sun the rest of the year, lol.
