March 21, 20223 yr Popular Post Post-mortem: I hope people in ATX and immediate realize how freaking lucky we've been. The severe prediction map was spot on! The storms started blowing up just west of Austin, giving most of us light rotation and brief, spotty pinpoints of smaller but damaging hail. But all in all we got off pretty damn well. Once this line moved just into and through Austin, it really blew up. And that's exactly where the "moderate risk" area was mapped. The Round Rock tornado was the first instant of these storms super-charging into monsters. And now they're all blowing up east of us. If this event was just 10 miles west, these storms would have wreaked a lot more havoc over heavily-populated Travis/Austin. The worst it did was to glance Round Rock before moving into much smaller populations. We were very fortunate, period. That said, I can't remember a heavier outbreak for our area, some 17-18 tornado warnings forecast within a 75 mile radius of Austin. And those weren't even the worst. T and P for our eastern and NE neighbors. Going to be a long evening. I must say, the forecasters fucking nailed this forecast as well as I've ever seen. I mean amazingly. Good work.

Was kind of freaking my kids out because even after things had cleared up, we could still hear it going. But I guess I should be thankful that we can hear UT's PA system/sirens, since Austin doesn't have one.

And those weren't even the worst. I can't remember more than 3 or 4 warnings for the Austin area, and I've lived here since 1985. The Jarrell storm that came south, another one that hit west Austin, one in Cedar Park, that's about all I can recall in 37 years.
March 21, 20223 yr Can't believe how many tornado warnings this system spawned. Never seen this before.

March 21, 20223 yr I have an Amazon shift starting in 20 minutes near where the RR tornado crossed 35. About to be in that area to see what's up.

March 21, 20223 yr Sunny, with just one black cloud over the house, but that could be the one that usually follows me.
March 21, 20223 yr Decided to start raining again with a touch of little hail…. that’s getting larger as I watch it. Not quite marble yet. Edited March 21, 20223 yr by Pato del Muerto

There was a circulation over DFW airport, but not an actual tornado. That circulation provoked the tornado warning in Dallas (now expired) and Collin Counties.
