Been a real letdown here in Alvin, just constant light rain.  Really was a wimp of a storm.  I needed the day off of work anyways to get rid of this damn head cold I managed to aquire over the weekend.

Some good rain and decent wind(nothing to worry about) here in Montgomery.  Don't think any damage will come to the grounds.

So, 3 O'clock, I've been working on-site all day... and I've seen more rain and wind from a spring shower. Been really pathetic, actually.

I had hoped it would make it's way up here to Arkansas and brake this heat wave were having. This 100+ heat has every thing dryed out.

I'm glad it wasn't worse... sounds like everyone needs rain though.

We got a pleasant shower in Tomball.  The temperature has dropped considerably, but it's still humid as hell.

No big exciting storm.  I'm actually a little disappointed!

We had a good amount of wind gusts here in Beaumont.  Lots of limbs down around town, but not any major damage.  At this tme our main concern is from flooding, but it looks like this storm is blowing through and not staying to drop several inches on us.  Good riddance as far as I'm concerned.
