Am up very late tonight because it has been storming with heavy C-G lightning & booming thunder for over 2 hours now(since about 11pm CDT Weds night, 30th). The storms just suddenly popped up and began getting strong fast. They began forming in Parker County, west of DFW, and moving very slow to southwest along what looks to be a boundary or front (or ?) running through the southwestern quadrant of the DFW metroplex (Texas).

To AC #75183 - yep, we've been having those "deluge" rainfalls too just like you reported from Sugarland (southwest Houston). It's like being under a waterfall coming down on ya!

Also, here's latest *bizarre* weather news just coming in.

Record Cold Grips Europe
Posted 05-30-07 02:01:28pm by Indy
With the month of June only a couple of days away Europe is in the grip of a significant cold weather outbreak. The cold blast has brought snow to parts of Germany and some of the coldest May weather ever experience in London.
London / LHR set a record for the 2nd coldest May day on record. Could this be related to what we believe was a gulf stream disruption? Please visit the related stories.

So ... apparently it was 90 degrees F in Moscow at same time it was snowing over in Germany = this is NUTS!
