Shit got real in The Woodlands. We lost power for about 30 minutes, but fortunately it came back in. When we do lose power it’s usually for at least 3 hours.

Damn. We’ve been without power in creek side for three plus hours now. 

No power loss in 77382/Sterling Ridge (so far).  Rain's been alternating between light drizzle and blue blazes since mid-afternoon.

Well everybody is different, but mine are generally in the morning.   But that's not important right now.

Still no power. I drove over to Kuykendahl and some poor Centerpoint guy is working with the lighting show going on.

If it makes you feel any better, we lost power about 10 and still don’t have it back on.

We're on Entergy up here.  They used to be less reliable (more and longer outages) than they've been the last several years.  I noticed Entergy was out from North Conroe to South Huntsville along I-45 earlier -  4,000 homes out.

Did the hail do much damage in G-town?

I got egg sized hail here in Georgetown.  Since my car is the oldest it didn't get put in the garage.  I need a new windshield and it looks like a golf ball.  I'm surprised I didn't lose any windows on the house as loud as it was.

Still a chance for some severe weather today according to the SPC.

...TX near Rio Grande...
   Widely scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop today over
   the western and northern parts of the outlook area.  Thunderstorms
   regionally will be forced by a combination of lift from surface
   heating, the southward-moving baroclinic zone, and orographic
   forcing over the Big Bend region and northern Coahuila.  Additional
   convection is possible this evening farther east as the frontal zone
   impinges on richer inflow-layer moisture.  Large hail and severe
   gusts will be the main concerns.

   Height rises are expected as the Ozarks cyclone/trough weaken and
   move away from the area.  Nonetheless, associated northwesterly flow
   aloft and strong directional shear will persist, despite weak
   low-level winds.  This will contribute to 30-40-kt effective-shear
   magnitudes, though the lack of more robust low-level flow will limit
   hodograph size.  Steep midlevel lapse rates, along with some
   moisture return through an air mass affected by prior days'
   convective complexes, will combine to yield MLCAPE in the 2000-3000
   J/kg range across much of this region.  More-robust moisture return
   is probable this evening over south-central TX and the lower Rio
   Grande Valley, which will be available to any convection that can
   develop anew along the combined frontal zone, or evolve upscale from
   diurnally initiated convection from Coahuila.  That contingency
   appears increasingly probable based on more-recent guidance and the
   observational trends in the lower Rio Grande Valley, so the outlook
   has been expanded on the east side.

It finally came on just now. The weird thing was that the second round of storms was nothing really. There were a few pretty good lightning strikes, but no wind at all. Weird.

Lightning hit a power junction and a fire started. We heard the 4 loud bangs from the big breakers in the distance like artillery at ft. sam.

Yeah, still "officially" a chance but i doubt it very much.  The low's moving off, we've had the atmosphere stabilized a good bit from last night, and the bulk of the risk area is well NE of us.

Jinxed it?  I don't think so.

We were lucky around here last night.  The storms that rolled through Austin about 7 had calmed down a good bit.  Then they fired up again down  near Luling and caused some wind and hail damage.

The vehicle my employees use to get around was parked outside in NW Georgetown and both the front and back windshields are gone and it is likely a total loss. It's less than a year old and has maybe 1200 miles on it. Our building must be near where Monty is because the hail was about the same size.

Why does Houston's power grid suck so badly? Lack of organized happy hours?

You'd think it would be robust after all of the storms/hurricans they've had, but then again, it maybe pretty patchwork because of all of the storms/hurricanes they've had.

Plus, a lot of their stuff is above-ground.  That does not help at all.

Yep, these storms are actually in the forecast area (west of us and a lot of SW too).  Looks like they'll swipe west of Austin, thankfully.  Watching for buildup but so far mostly out west.
That's a NASTY storm going west of Fredericksburg.

Looks like storms are firing up again in The Big Country and dive bombing southeastward.  Out where dreams stay with you, like a lover's voice fires the mountainside.

Stay alive.

Define "The Big Country"
