My no pic daughter and her husband were without power for a week in Houston so we chipped in and bought her a generator. And wouldn’t you know it the power came on the next day! Heat index was 105+.

It sure got dark here after 4pm, places south of us lost some tree limbs…we won’t have to water the flowers tonight…

 

[BlIIlken2]

We got lucky in CR. Line/bow never really formed until East of here. Some wind gusts and much needed downpours.
