April 29, 20214 yr Looks like our force field is extending down to San Marcos. Red and orange just die there.
April 29, 20214 yr Back for a sec... Tornado warning for New Braunfels area, moving toward San Marcos. Golf ball sized hail. Should move well south of Austin proper, maybe skirt SE Travis County.
April 29, 20214 yr Weather apps saying we are getting lightning strikes within a mile, but radar shows everything breaking up well to the SW.

April 29, 20214 yr Moved my truck to the airport garage and pulled the cars into the garage. It won’t hail in Austin now.

April 29, 20214 yr i am convinced that the forcefield has something to do with concrete and the electric grid. it's not just austin. sometimes the shields derez. but most of the time, they hold. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/f0dbb25b-f05e-49a1-ad0e-818e917fddd2
April 29, 20214 yr I live in Keller and yea that was some pound me in the ass hail. Looked like somebody was shooting a 50 cal into my pool over and over again. Somehow my car, which as the oldest was the one strategically left out, didn't get anything but some dents. Seeing lots of others with broken windshields etc. I parked as close to house as I could and northern exposure so house (roof) took most of the brunt. Every limb and leaf that Coldmageddon had weakened that just finished the fuck off. Ahhh be fun cleaning up tomorrow.

April 29, 20214 yr Oh cool, power just flickered and my NAS's alarm went off when it switched to battery. Forgot to reset that so it's quiet and just emails me, instead of trying to wake the kids up.
April 29, 20214 yr So I'm seeing lightning strikes NE of Central Austin, but all of the bad shit looks to be SW of us. Very weird. Also, something looks like it's headed towards Austin-Bergstrom.

April 29, 20214 yr Looks like that cell took a more northerly turn and is going to get the city. I think.

April 29, 20214 yr Keep getting notices of lightning strikes a mile or two to the north, while the orange/red shit is moving S of us. 7 minutes ago, Wally Pryor said: Looks like that cell took a more northerly turn and is going to get the city. I think. Yeah, either it expanded a bit on it's northern side, or it started sliding up, and I'm leaning towards sliding right up towards downtown.
April 29, 20214 yr Forcefield only used to protecting shit from the west. Flee flicker from due south.

April 29, 20214 yr https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0465.html Mesoscale Discussion 0465 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1103 PM CDT Wed Apr 28 2021 Areas affected...Centarl and Northeast Texas Concerning...Tornado Watch 121...122... Valid 290403Z - 290600Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 121, 122 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat is expected to continue into the early overnight hours from the Texas Hill Country north-northeastward into parts of northeast Texas. Large hail, wind damage and an isolated tornado threat will be possible with the stronger thunderstorms. DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery from San Antonio and Fort Worth shows several strong to severe thunderstorms located from between Del Rio and San Antonio extending northward to near Stephenville, Texas. The storms are located along and just to the west of an inverted surface trough. The RAP shows an axis of moderate instability near the surface trough with MLCAPE estimated in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range. WSR-88D VWPs near this axis of instability have 0-6 km shear in the 55 to 65 kt range. The instability and shear will likely keep the severe threat going late this evening into the early overnight period. Large hail and wind damage will be the primary threats with supercells that persist. An isolated tornado threat may also exist with any supercell that is dominant. ..Broyles.. 04/29/2021
April 29, 20214 yr Clouds around 2000... 2030 were gorgeous.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using TapatalkI noticed that as well. Was cool but kind of eerie

April 29, 20214 yr I’m seeing ice pictures.. how’s ERCOT holding up? They are fine. Everything else is shit though. -no cloak room
