On the way home from work yesterday I saw a huge branch fall on top of two cars that had just driven through the intersection at West Road and Telge. Luckily the branch was almost dead. It was all over the street. Didn't look like too much damage to the vehicles but that had to scary as hell.

@kvzsmith :
How scary! Glad your vehicle wasn't hit by the falling limb, and that the limb was almost dead. It could have been a live limb and could have caused significant damage to the two cars and injured the drivers. Be careful, we could have more of the same severe weather again this week.

It was on the other side of the median. The traffic going the opposite way I was going. But it made me nervous the rest of the drive. I pass under a lot of trees.

@kvzsmith :
Geez, glad you are ok, but I bet it was scary to see it. We got the storm really bad around 4:45 and waited to leave our office until close to 6pm. We stayed safe inside.

Oh, I would have been nervous too! Especially with a lot of trees around. Another thunderstorm is just now hitting the Katy area. It is not suppose to be as bad as yesterday's storm, but it's still a storm. Stay safe.

Glad you stayed safe at work until the weather was better yesterday. I heard that the thunderstorm that we are having right now would be out of our area at about 4:30 or 5:00 pm. Really hope the weather reports are correct.
