More than six inches of rain fell today in areas of Southeast Texas.

HOUSTON, Texas — (DMN/KHOU) – Tornadoes, training thunderstorms producing heavy rain and winds socked Southeast Texas today causing property damage and street flooding across vast areas of the Houston metropolitan area. The storms dumped up to six inches of rain mostly across areas south and west of downtown. A twister damaged several homes in a Mission Bend subdivision in Fort Bend County. Baset Jalili and her family had to run for cover when the tornado hit their house near Gaines and Bissonnet.

“You can hear it, it just starts getting louder—the wind hitting the house,” said Jalili. “The front door was actually locked. It just flew open. I took my mom and sister, we just took cover in the closet until it calmed down a little bit.” They weren’t hurt, but their house, garage and roof were damaged. Other houses in the area also have damage.  The same tornado caused damage near Highway 6 in southwest Harris County. An O’Reilly’s gas station between Beechnut and Bellaire is cleaning up storm damage tonight. Nearby, the tornado flipped four trailers at a business. Workers were inside some of those trailers, but no one was seriously hurt.

A tornado also touched down at Mall of the Mainlandin Texas City around 1 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. The mall was evacuated while they assessed the damage. There were no reports of injuries. Hundreds of drivers were stranded by high water throughout the Greater Houston Area and in surrounding counties.  Houston fire crews were called out to rescue some frantic drivers as the water rose around their stalled cars. An HFD spokesman said they couldn’t get to some streets because the water was too high—even for their trucks.

Major closures included: Highway 288 at the South Loop; Westpark Tollway at the South Post Oak ramp; Allen Parkway west of downtown; and Highway 90 between Richmond and Rosenberg in Fort Bend County. Highway 288 reopened around 3:30 p.m. Monday. Water had receded in most other areas, but Allen Parkway was still flooded during afternoon rush hour. A Flood Warning is in effect until tonight at 11:54 p.m. for Harris County. Most areas in Harris County and other surrounding counties had at least three inches of rain by 11:30 a.m. The pounding rain was letting up in many areas by noon, but it’s going to take a while for the water to recede. CenterPoint Energy says more than 20,000 customers were without power. HISD reported intermittant outages at Love, Cullen and Looscan schools.

The area dries out and cools down slightly Tuesday, when rain chances drop to 20 percent. The high will be about 59 degrees under partly sunny skies. The low will be about 42. West winds will be about 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. Sunny skies are expected Wednesday as the Norther, packed with Canadian air, approaches the region. The high will be about 67 degrees before the front arrives, but drops to 44 at night as the front moves closer. The high will struggle to about 55 degrees Thursday under cloudy skies after the front hits. The overnight low will be about 33 when the cold air settles in the region. Some spots north of Houston near Huntsville and Conroe could see the mercury dip to freezing.

Friday is likely to be sunny with a high near 54 degrees. The low will be near 39. Temperatures climb on the weekend. The high Saturday will be about 59 under mostly sunny skies. The low will be near 45. Clouds build above the region Sunday as another storm system approaches the area. The high will be about 63. Forecasters said it to early to determine if the storm will bring rain.

The talk of an Obama – Clinton ticket in 2012 is ramping up again. This time, Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton is suggesting tossing Joe Biden off the ticket and into the Secretary of State’s job would give the Democratic ticket considerable enthusiasm, possibly enough to get Obama re-elected. I agree. I suggested last summer that this is something the President might consider. Will it happen? Who knows? Reich’s political prediction for 2012: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton versus Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio.

Joe Biden has been a good and energetic vice president, but Obama will need to stir the passions of the Democratic base and Biden won’t suffice. (Biden will swap places with Clinton, becoming secretary of state — a position he’s apparently coveted for years.) A highly disciplined and unified Republican opposition has taken a toll. While the president delivered health care, it’s not as bold as many had hoped for. Although he put tighter reins on Wall Street, the biggest banks are still too big to fail. While he saved us from another Great Depression, we’re still in a jobs recession.

Hillary Clinton on the ticket would generate the enthusiasm Obama needs. She’d be the first female vice president. She’d remind voters of the successes of the Clinton administration. And as many recall from 2008, she’s a sharp and articulate campaigner. Moreover, Clinton would help deflect attention from the bad economy to foreign policy, where she and Obama have shined. Chances are the economy won’t be in great shape in the months leading up to Election Day. If the European debt crisis worsens and if China’s economy continues to slow, there’s a better than even chance that unemployment will be back to 9 percent. On the other hand, the administration has had a string of foreign policy successes — taking out Osama bin Laden, helping topple Moammar Gadhafi, skillfully managing “Arab Spring,” exiting Iraq and building pressure on Iran.

An Obama-Clinton ticket would also make Clinton the obvious Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, and her chances in 2016 would be better than Biden’s. This would give the Democrats a shot at 12 (or more) years in the White House — something the Republicans had with Ronald Reagan and the first George Bush, but which the Democrats haven’t had since FDR and Truman. Twelve years gives the party in power a chance to reshape the Supreme Court as well as put an indelible stamp on America.

According to the latest Gallup poll, the duo are this year’s most admired man and woman. This marks the fourth consecutive win for Obama, while Clinton has been the most admired woman in each of the last 10 years.

As for Republicans, you can forget the caucuses and early primaries. Mitt Romney will be the nominee. Republicans may be stupid, but the GOP isn’t about to commit suicide. The other candidates are all weighed down by enough baggage to keep a 747 on the tarmac indefinitely. For his running mate, Romney will choose Marco Rubio, the junior senator from Florida. Romney will need a right-winger to calm and woo the Republican right. Tea partiers like Rubio — an evangelical Christian committed to reducing taxes and shrinking government.

Rubio is also a proven campaigner, handily winning four Florida House of Representatives elections starting in 2000 and then beating popular Republican governor Charlie Crist in a 2010 U.S. Senate race when Crist ran as an independent. Moreover, he’s only 40, thereby giving the ticket some youthful vigor. And he’s Hispanic — a Cuban-American — at a time when the GOP needs to court the Hispanic vote. Rubio’s only baggage is the “son of exiles” controversy — he has suggested his parents were refugees forced out of Cuba by Castro when in fact they moved to the United States before the Cuban revolution. But this isn’t the sort of slip that would keep him off the ticket. Romney has defended Rubio, saying, “I think the world of Marco Rubio, support him entirely and think that the effort to try to smear him was unfortunate and bogus.” Finally, and most critically, Florida is a crucial swing state. And what’s my prediction for Election Day? Obama-Clinton hands down.

Reich raises some valid points. Regardless of your political persuasion, Obama – Clinton would be a tough ticket to beat. As I have suggested, this race is still the President’s to lose but his options will narrow after the Florida primary. I have never believed that Secretary Clinton is “finished” with “public life.” I would give the chances of Clinton joining the ticket pretty good. President Obama is a clever politician and can read the polls as well as anyone else. He knows he is in trouble and creating enthusiasm among the Democrat base is an absolute must if he is to have a chance this year. I am not so sure about Rubio being a Romney running mate although it makes sense. I think Romney’s running mate is more likely to come from the current G.O.P. field.

HOUSTON, Texas — (DMN/CBS) – Houston, we have a problem. Although drought stricken Texas desperately needs rain we certainly can argue that we did not need it all at once. Thunderstorms in the Houston area that prompted tornado warnings have knocked out electricity to nearly 20,000 homes and businesses, according to power provider CenterPoint Energy. The National Weather Service on Monday morning issued tornado warnings for Harris County and several neighboring counties. The warnings expired with no immediate confirmed reports of funnel clouds touching down and causing damage.

Areas inside Loop 610 appear  to be hardest hit, particularly between South Freeway and I-45, according to an outage-tracking map updated by CenterPoint every 15 minutes. There is a cluster of outages in South Houston as well. CenterPoint Energy on Monday reported power outages affecting 19,716 customers. To report or see outages and flooding, click here.  The Houston Independent School District has advised principals to keep students in class during the strong storm that moved through Harris County today. A handful of HISD campuses lost power: Jones High School, Cullen Middle School, Looscan Elementary, Love Elementary and Callegos Elementary.

In Lamar Consolidated ISD, two buildings were damaged, several roofs sprung leaks and parking lots and roads were flooded, said spokesperson Christy Willman. The storm blew out windows at Wertheimer Middle School and caused significant damage to the roof at Lamar Consolidated High School, where water poured in through the ceiling over a hallway rotunda. The parking lot at the high school was already flooded. No injuries were reported.

School was already in session at both buildings, but students had already been moved away from windows and other exposed areas, Willman said. The schools went into precaution mode after a tornado warning was issued around 8 a.m. The district canceled afternoon pick-up for pre-K students and will not transport students home until roads are clear, Willman said. In Katy ISD, students at Seven Lakes High School were told to shelter in place following a tornado warning, said spokesman Steve Stanford. Power went out briefly, but the school had returned to normal by mid-morning.

Heavy rain, strong winds and possibly hail are moving through the Houston region today, with a funnel cloud and hail already having been reported. A Thunderstorm Warning has been issued through about 10 a.m. Monday in Harris County, Fort Bend and Wharton counties as the storm moves through the area. Winds up to 60 mph, drenching thunderstorms and quarter-size hail are possible.

Severe weather has hit other areas as well, forecasters said. A funnel cloud was reported early Monday morning in Fort Bend County Texas 99 and Mason Road. Also hail as big as an inch and half pelted areas near East Bernard in Wharton County. The strong system from the West is expected to dump up to three inches of rain in some spots and sparking possible tornadoes and hail, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters said the severest weather is likely north of Houston near Bryan and College Station where small hail and high winds were reported Monday morning.

After today’s storms, the area is expected to dry out quickly and a cold front is expected to hit later this week, dropping temperatures to near freezing. At least four inches of rain has been recorded in Livingston since midnight Sunday. Monday in the Houston area the heaviest downpours and thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon as the storm moves through the region. Forecasters said some spots could record up to about three inches of rainfall but most areas will receive about one inch. The high temperature will top out at 71 under cloudy skies. The overnight low will be about 51. South winds will be between 5 mph and 15 mph. A 100 percent chance of rain is likely.

The area dries out and cools down slightly Tuesday, when rain chances drop to 20 percent. The high will be about 59 degrees under partly sunny skies. The low will be about 42. West winds will be about 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. Sunny skies are expected Wednesday as the Norther, packed with Canadian air, approaches the region. The high will be about 67 degrees before the front arrives, but drops to 44 at night as the front moves closer. The high will struggle to about 55 degrees Thursday under cloudy skies after the front hits. The overnight low will be about 33 when the cold air settles in the region. Some spots north of Houston near Huntsville and Conroe could see the mercury dip to freezing.

Friday is likely to be sunny with a high near 54 degrees. The low will be near 39. Temperatures climb on the weekend. The high Saturday will be about 59 under mostly sunny skies. The low will be near 45. Clouds build above the region Sunday as another storm system approaches the area. The high will be about 63. Forecasters said it to early to determine if the storm will bring rain.
