My Storm Summary: A strong thunderstorm passed over where I work in northwest Houston, TX, during the early afternoon bringing heavy rain and cloud to ground lightning strikes. The heavy rain became a light rain/drizzle with still some loud rumbles of thunder and possible cloud to ground lightning strikes, during the mid-afternoon. That was the last time that I saw rain. The power did go out for a couple of minutes where I work in northwest Houston, TX, sometime during the early, or maybe mid-afternoon. I didn't see any flooding, just some big puddles and really wet roads. I heard some more thunder, during the late evening, from a nearby heavy thunderstorm, at my house in northwest Houston, TX.
