It was rocking and rolling last night and I delayed going to bed. I pulled up the radar on the Accuweather app, and was surprised that it spanned from Houston, TX, to Terre Haute, IN. This is the screenshot from 11:40PM CDT last night:
I ended up getting 3-1/8" of rain in my rain gauge. We had pretty raucous thunderstorms from 11 PM until 12:30 AM, and again from 3:45 AM until 5 AM. No damage to trees or garden.
Did y'all get this storm and any damage from it?

Yes, lots of damage in my neighborhood. A huge cedar tree narrowly missed my truck and blocked the road behind it. Many neighbors had large limbs fall, power out, one telephone pole snapped. Looks like a local downburst since the town as a whole seems to have a lot lower level of damage. We live on a hill that seems prone to this; it's happened four previous times while we've lived here. We were lucky this time - no roof damage as we've had previously.

Only 6 miles away from the OP, all good here. Illustrated that my french drains need attention, as they're draining very slowly after the rework with the pool install. Guessing a kink or damage line downstream [original drain pipes] from where they tied in to the original system.
50mi S of Terre Haute, I never heard thunder or saw lightning. I did sleep pretty heavy, but it just wasn't much of a storm this far north. I think we got a little less than the 2" expected.

We are in San Antonio for State sporting Clays championship. Really bad storm last night, prob 4" of rain, another wave came through about 12:30AM.
Power is out at National Shooting Complex and they are working to get everything up. Shooting continues as the clay target throwers are 12V battery powered.

It rolled thru here in Temple last night, and Rock was not having it. I eventually forced him to take 3 Benadryl and that barely touched his anxiety. Poor doggo.
