Let's try and revive this thread...
What are your thoughts on this afternoons weather ? - How high is the possibility of seeing tornadoes this afternoon or flooding ?

[ROLLTIDE]

Very slight chance of seeing some twisters in SE Texas today but I would still keep a close eye on the weather this afternoon cause with the heating and the weaker shear there could be 1 or 2 isolated doppler indicated warnings with greatest risk to the north of you.

[MandyM]

How far north are you talking about ? I live about 40 miles or so north east of Downtown Houston , is that far enough or do you mean further north ?

[ROLLTIDE]

I am talking about your general area. Things are starting for fire right now with 2 severe storms.

[ROLLTIDE]

Are you taking cover right now ?

[HarvestMoon]

So far, this event is to the west of my location.

[ROLLTIDE]

I am more concerned about the flooding threat than I am the twisters

[MandyM]

Are you taking cover right now ?

not yet...we're not in any warning as of yet but the tornado warnings look like they are heading our way ! YIKES!

[ROLLTIDE]

Current Severe weather thread is located here . Stay safe !!

Thanks !
Things are calming down over here and the rain is about to stop ! YAY ! Our front yard looks like a big ol' swimming pool...lol...Who wants to come over for a swim ?..hahaha..
Our backroom is flooded but that's not unusual , it always does with heavy rains like today !

[ROLLTIDE]

Thanks for checking in :) How much rain did you get ?

[MandyM]

According to Radar between 2.00 and 2.50 inches !

This is probably a completely dumb question BUT is there a way for me to measure (in my own yard) how much rain falls ,each time ?
