I'm north of Houston. Ours came on at 4am. I consider us lucky.
I'm not from here, but I currently have to reside here. π
The worst of the winds went from the NW (Cypress area) through downtown and out the SW (Pearland, Deer Park, etc). I'm directly north of downtown, so it was bad but not as bad as it could have been. When the electrical towers toppled in Cypress our power dropped. I've only walked around our neighborhood. It's a big mess, but I didn't see any roads closed, so that's good.
Yeah, last night. 100mph winds went through that diagonal path. Not tornadoes - just straight nasty wind.
The front went through there but as far as I know they didn't get the worst of it. My sister is due east of E. Bernard in Missouri City, and what she got was like what I got. So the roads are messy with tree debris but no really major damage.
