    Yeah, me and the wife and kids were just watching it. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

    I'm in the Galleria Area and I see the same light show. Lucky for me the severe weather is in Southeast Houston/Pasadena/Baytown moving SE.

    I've called two friends to tell them to look at it...strangest thing is, I can't hear it, and I'm downtown.

    I heard thunder on and off for quite a while in the middle of last night. I never got up to look outside though.

    I was just at the Barnes and Noble near West Oaks and I stood in the parking lot for around 20 minutes watching it. First time I've ever seen something like that.

    I got caught in it driving to Humble... that might've been the scariest drive I've ever had. The lightning was literally right next to my car. Crazy.

    If you get one, please don't use it to take pictures of your technicolor crap.

    Failure.

    Women always go to the mall and miss real life things happening.


    I HOPE YOUR PRADA BAG WAS WORTH MISSING THE GIFT OF THE GODS
