April 12, 20205 yr It's perfect out. I can tell by the large gatherings of people in the neighborhood for Easter.
April 12, 20205 yr Sitting on the back patio enjoying a Shiner. Agree, an amazing day. Happy Easter Surly.

Watching the pork butt. Wife is baking in the kitchen. I’m enjoying the beautiful weather and watching Band of Brothers on my phone outside. Dog’s laying on the ground right next to me, half asleep, half watching the birds. What a day! Happy Easter gents, and ladies.

April 12, 20205 yr I just want to put it out there that I did not junior miller my wife or myself. I did what any red blooded American would do, get the eggs out for the kids, make a bloody Mary and enjoy the day. I did jr miller several cans of Crawford bock and smoke some meats. What a shitty start to what was an amazing day. Cheers, assholes.
April 13, 20205 yr Cheers. Bocelli is a doing a live stream so I got that blasting out on my patio atm. Must've been a nice 17 minutes

April 13, 20205 yr 21 killed by 43 tornadoes in the Southeast in the last 24 hours. Unusual in that it didn't slow down in the overnight hours. LA to SC, and more possible in the Northeast today.
April 13, 20205 yr Also, safe rooms seem like a good investment. Edited April 13, 20205 yr by clapclapclap

Didn't get much at all in Wichita, just a little rain and a whole lotta cold. These next two weeks are historically the deadliest so keep your eyes peeled fellas
April 14, 20205 yr Marion, Chase county area. The storm blew up right over my place and got much stronger as it moved east. Neighbors and I were getting ready to burn our adjoining pastures when it started to sprinkle. Never lit a match and 30 minutes later we had hail and more than an inch of rain . Just got back to the garage before the big stuff fell.

The times as a kid that we lived in other parts of Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, my parents always made sure we had a storm shelter of some sort nearby. And this was back when you relied on that little Radio Shack weather radio to wake you up in the middle of the night. Well, that and tornado sirens.

April 16, 20205 yr Author Could be some severe weather this weekend. I wonder if it will be enough to bring Frankie Phd back? Saturday Sunday
April 21, 20205 yr Author Any posters in the North Texas and ArkLaTex regions need to watch their cornholes tomorrow.
April 21, 20205 yr Could definitely use PhDhorn's expertise. This system hitting Austin?...it's not coming until tonight (4/21), right? Nothing this afternoon? Thanks!
April 21, 20205 yr Coming back in to say I'm not coming back in for this because it ain't going to happen here. BTW I like that second map above, "potential too low." Seems like they're pissed off about it. Too low? Lol what does that even mean? "C'mon man, we need to get it higher so people can lose all the worldly goods!"
April 21, 20205 yr Author That’s a link to the 4 day outlook. When I posted it, the 4 day outlook was for this system that just passed us on Sunday. The links I posted above will be for Friday when they refresh at 2am tomorrow morning. Edit: look a the valid dates of the graphic and that will tell you the valid dates for the forecast
April 22, 20205 yr For those who concern themselves with this, the Midwest has good planting conditions in many areas. I'll guess we're a bit ahead of average for planting progress.
April 22, 20205 yr Never really minded storms but after that June 9th shit show in Dallas last year that ended up flooding my house followed by the Tornado in October that was heading right at us before taking a turn north (and missing us by a couple of miles) major PTSD when I see the severe storm forecasts. This is the last thing anyone needs to deal with during a damn pandemic so hopefully nothing major today.

This is the last thing anyone needs to deal with during a damn pandemic so hopefully nothing major today. As someone who has watched storms pretty carefully over the years, I think maybe we can hope that you (and I) are statistically eliminated from further disaster for a while. My Dad photographed the 1957 Dallas tornado from the Republic Bank building. We had a small one come down NW Hwy in the early 70s. My aunt and grandmother survived the Wichita Falls tornado, but my cousin's house was destroyed. We have a couple of little scares in Dallas every 3-4 years. Edited April 22, 20205 yr by TwiceHorn
April 22, 20205 yr Line is popping off, North Austin at least should get a nice storm in the next few minutes. And as soon as I post, up goes the storm warning. Edited April 22, 20205 yr by boknowstecmo
April 22, 20205 yr That thing popped. And of Course it happened right over Bee Cave, @phdhorn always gets the rain!

April 22, 20205 yr Back to say: 1) Yep, rained hard over my house. I've had about 349 inches since January. You guys? 2) I said essentially severe weather wasn't going to happen in our immediate Austin area, which it won't. But just east of us and into E and NE Texas, it likely will. So if you live or have abducted hostages in some lean-to in the eastern third of Texas, yes, I expect the line which formed to keep building and get nasty (I think we've actually been on the very western edge of a tornado watch, but again, this is pretty much for now... when this stuff passes, that's it for that in your area). Will almost certainly be tornadoes there and through SEC! SEC! SEC! country (pretty much now competing for the new "tornado alley" with OK and the Central Plains, especially at this time of year. Otherwise I think whatever you got/you're getting now/soon is it for the day. Unless you're in Bee Cave, where it always rains. Stay safe
