There's a swath heading north to south from Oklahoma (sucks), a swath heading east from west Texas, a swath heading northeast from SW Texas, and a swath in Houston/Galveston expanding NW. Ahhhhhh!!!!!! Yea.. my raydar peen has never been so... excited... shit is going down tonight in CenTex.

May 16, 20205 yr Getting hammered in Spring Branch right now. And the rain is heavy as hell too, coming from the south.

May 16, 20205 yr Pretty rough here. Power went off and on a few times. Then the condenser fan sped up until it sounded like it was going to lift off. I ran out and pulled the breaker on it. Anybody had that happen before? It was so loud I could hear the condenser from inside the house.

May 16, 20205 yr You worry too much... No biggie, outflow boundary coming in from the coast, held together, kicked up some storms. The stuff up north won't make it here. The stuff coming in from the west, though, is gonna be potent, but brief. Wassa maddah? Edited May 16, 20205 yr by phdhorn
May 16, 20205 yr Favorite tornado scene in Twister was the one at night/drive-in movie theater. Lots of lightning right now I am seeing. Spooky. Lol.
May 16, 20205 yr Forcefield Manny Diaz'd this one. Right up Austin's ass. Severe TS warning Blano and west, heading away from us (NW). Some of this outflow might help stabilize the air/mitigate the stuff coming in from the west. Hope so, because that line is nasty (bowing out a bit in it's mid-south part = lotsa wind.

I ran out and pulled the breaker on it. Anybody had that happen before? It was so loud I could hear the condenser from inside the house. Different deal, but about 25 years ago, the power pole/transformer behind my parents' house got hit by lightning. At the time, the AC was not running. Some time later it kicked on and made a horrendous noise, including banging in the vicinity of the breaker box. What happened was the lightning fused the coil in the (3-phase) compressor motor. So when the AC kicked on, it was pulling multiple amps at 440V through the breaker panel, which was causing it to vibrate against the wall in the utility closet. Scary as shit. The AC unit at that time was 40+ years old and working fine. They've been through 2.5 units since.
May 16, 20205 yr Severe TS warning N Kendall/S Gillespie Counties.. an outflow blob went into the main line and got it pissed. Still lots of ground to cover until it gets here, and hopefully it'll eat itself up and these will weaken a bit as they approach the more mixed air (due to these storms we just had) over us. If not get ready for heavy rain and minor damaging here/there wind in spots (no 'naders, straight line more or less mitigates that).
