Torrential downpour (do not mix with torrent download! ;-)) is not rare in
this part of Texas. Large portions of Houston and Dallas have been severely
flooded several times over the past year.
College Station and Bryan had not suffered as much. But today's weather was
rather severe. Two tornado warnings with one touchdown less then 8 miles
from our home ...
And flash flooding ...

This short news video shows the amount of water running through some major
roads:

Re: OT - Lots of water and tornado touchdown

[Igor PDML-StR]

Thanks to all for the kind words!
A follow-up:

What I didn't know last night is that apparently there was yet 
another tornado touchdown about 27 miles south of where we live.
Driving to Houston this morning, first, I've noticed some large uprooted 
trees. Then I saw several houses with damaged roofs and walls, and then a 
few industrial-type, 2-stories buildings with the second floor mostly 
missing. Then I saw a trailer portion of an 18-wheeler turned over (it was 
parked in the yard of one of the businesses.
And those damages were on both sides of the highway, spread over at least 
1 mile. That means that tornado was either moving along the highway or 
crossing it in a diagonal function.
This is a major, heavily traveled, divided freeway with two lanes in each 
direction and 75 mph speed limit. I wonder what was going on with the cars 
that were on it when the tornado went through...



Unfortunately, I had no time to even slow down for taking any photos, - 
had to be in Houston for an appointment. IF the weather will not be too 
bad, I'll try to take a few shots on the way back.


Yet another observation this morning: lots of areas are severely flooded.
There was a large plot of land next to the 290 freeway on the outskirts of 
Houston with a sign "Land for sale". I thought that a good joke would be 
if someone attached across that a temporary sign: "Water for sale".

Darren: I've mentioned this ones last year, - 20 years and 1 month ago, 
I've had tornado touching down and levelling some houses just 3 city 
blocks away, - in Urbana, IL:

Re: OT - Lots of water and tornado touchdown

[Darren Addy]

Thanks for the report Igor. 8 miles is plenty close for a tornado to one's
home. A National Weather Service forecaster that I know in Dodge City, KS
is also a storm chaser/photographer and this week is his "Chase-cation"
with some buddies. They knew that Tuesday's action would be right close to
Dodge City, KS. He joked on Facebook that morning that they would just sit
and sip cold drinks on the deck and watch a 3/4 mile wide tornado in his
backyard. That was rather prophetic, as it turns out that there were at
least a dozen separate tornadoes in the Dodge City area on Tuesday. He
reported that one was just 4 miles from his house and when that one
occluded and a new one formed, the new one was 2 miles from his house.
Yowza.

The National Weather Service office in Dodge City tweeted a photo taken
right out of their office window of a nice tornado on the ground.

Thank you, John, we are fine .

And I hope today, the weather will not be as bad both here and in Houston 
(despite the thunderstorms in the forecast) : I need to drive there and 
back without much of a delay.
