My Storm Summary: A isolated heavy thunderstorm passed through where I work in northwest Houston, TX bringing moderately heavy to maybe sometimes heavy heavy for around 10 to maybe 20 minutes leaving some small puddles behind on the roads and parking lot. There was also some loud thunder, but no cloud to ground lightning that I know of.

Thoughts: I was happy to see some good rainfall today, even though it was pretty brief. I really enjoy brief heavy thunderstorms. I think Houston, TX's rainfall everyday, may be sadly coming to a soon end. It was fun while it lasted. We'll see what happens. I would rather it rain everyday, than it be really hot, during the summer.
