Storm Summary: The thunderstorms that passed through the Houston, TX area, caused a few power outages and flash flooding. I didn't see, or hear about any storm damages.

My Storm Summary: Most of the thunderstorms that I saw where in the mid town/downtown area of Houston, TX. There was another storm popping up in north Houston, TX, that I saw parts of. The storms didn't have any strong winds, that I remember, just some scary cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, and heavy rain with flash flooding, or deep ponding on the roads and freeways. There was little rain reported at my house in northwest Houston, TX.

Locations: Northwest, north, mid-town, montrose, heights, and downtown Houston, TX. The Woodlands, TX, Spring, TX, Tomball, TX, and maybe Klien, TX.

Thoughts: Well I haven't seen that much rain in awhile, especially the cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, not since maybe last year, or at least 2015 since I have seen such close lightning strikes. I have seen a few heavy rain storms this year. I was sad to hear that my house in northwest Houston, TX didn't receive that much rain.
