I would have him call a doctor - that's a really long time to be like that.

I woke up last night at 3 am and looked at weather underground.... 40% chance of rain. Wake up again at 5 to the sound of thunder.... 100% chance of rain. lol.

No kidding. And looks like it's only getting worse further south.

Lightning in Rowlett is a really bad.

Yeah, we lost power here in Rowlett about 6 hours ago. Made sleeping difficult without fans. It's too damn hot.
Hope power comes back soon.

For whatever reason, it seems like Rowlett always catches the worst of the storms.

Over 3.5 inches of rain here in Benbrook. Had some really bad winds around 2am this morning. Lots of trees damaged.

You're on the leading edge of a lake and most storm systems come north to south or northwest to South East. All that added water just means that you will get the brunt of a storm that goes over a sudden temperature and humidity shift.

we got about 1.5" in 30 minutes yesterday.

Small roof leak. Many others had similar issues. Lots of water that fast is a bear.

We found a water spot on the ceiling in a corner bathroom after last weekend's rain.

Didn't see any obvious water marks in attic and gutter was clogged nearby so I'm hoping that's all it was. Couldn't tell if spot got bigger last night or not. Will take pics and compare after this coming weekend, I guess.

Rain was coming sideways at times also, which can get up into gaps that aren't usually an issue with a typical rainstorm.

I missed it at work but it looked like a doozie.

But my builder was working on another house and lost a **** ton of hardwood.

Tons of lightening and thunder in Mesquite but looks like it will slide past us and hit Rockwall and Rowlett head on.

Got a violent downpour here in Murphy. Lightning struck the chimney, as an added bonus.

3 foot deep flooding in Mesquite. Fire truck got swamped and had to be towed out.

Lightning on the way in from Houston was insane. If any photographers were out tonight getting good shots, they stand to make some good money. Some of the stuff I saw was NatGeo worthy.

Thanks for the jinx. Had rain but none of the other craziness that was out there. Hope y'all didn't have any issues.
