Great point of view Jane and very well composed!! Looks like it was a real bruiser of a storm!!! #2945601

Thank you, Deb & Wendy! It was a bruiser of a storm! I felt sorry for the people on the way to work on Monday, stuck on parts of the freeway at a standstill for at least 2 hrs because of high water! Some parts of Houston that don't normally flood, flooded through this storm. #2945682
