  • Figured I'd post this here, it's where you'd look for me. First, thanks very much for the concern (I had no idea), it's appreciated.  I mean, really?  Wow, that's been surprising. Second, I'm fi

    is the excessive rain this year being triggered from the ash rising to the atmosphere from the concentration camps on our border?  Like volcanoes creating storms when the erupt?

    So after my company started sending people home, a coworker of mine who takes the metro in from cypress left to catch the bus. He got to the NW transit center at 610 and old Katy road and they decided

Holy shit levels of darkness, wind and rain just N of  I-35 & Braker

 

We're done I think today after this shit moves through.

Got some hail in the Burnet Rd area. One hit the top of my car pretty loudly but most of it was pea size or smaller.

Got another cell coming in from the southwest, gonna skirt the South/Central part of Austin.  Brief but strong.  About 20 minutes till it gets there if it holds together.

New Braunfels about to get hit for the 2nd time this hour.

Something your mom twice in an hour.

Spring Branch, TX

Damn, I was sitting on my back porch a little while ago enjoying the peace and quiet while I worked when the temperature suddenly dropped and this thunderstorm blew in and tore shit up.

My cat looked like this while trying to run inside.

So thanks to that 15-20 minutes I have no electricity in 78723. First call was told ETA if 4:45 PM for power back on.

Now I am told 24-48 hours.

Traffic lights were out at braker/mopac causing a delightful shitshow of traffic. 

Is there any reason (beyond ineptitude/stupidity) that I literally never see APD directing traffic in these situations?

Dude.  If the traffic is moving at a crawl, why would they bother?  They can't write speeding tickets when it's all backed up.  Think.

Or California stops 

The line of storms is now down by the coast going through Victoria. Here's what it looks like looking SE from New Braunfels.

One cell approximately over Austin, other skirting just south of the lake.

Your cat looks like a cow? Might want to get that checked out.

Probably some kind of thyroid condition.

The NWS models for the next few weeks into the middle of July look promising.

I’ve killed like 100 millipedes a day for the last 5-6 days in my house. I’m on a green belt and this isn’t just brutal.

Pest control came out and basically said it’s just bad luck that perfect conditions for them and they can spray but basically just need to wait out the wet weather and let the summer sun kill them

Just had a not so fun microburst roll through Dallas. Power out everywhere, trees down, streets blocked. Fun times. Lasted about 10 minutes. 60 mph winds, waterfalls of rain, hail, trees blowing about.

Update:

Making this semi-quick:
- Hot day (100°+) and a very rare strong cold front = lots of variance between warm/hot air masses.
- this is a no-brainer for severe weather possibility, so a severe thunderstorm watch in effect now thru about 10.
- bulk of storms will go through 8-10 p.m. or so, these are coming almost from due north (moving a bit SE).
- right now radar shows big ass storm that will probably miss Austin to the east; but line will probably form/fill in between now and then, and with this heat, severe can spin up quickly.
- high winds the main culprit, some hail, tornadic activity probably nah.  Storms have had history of high winds and small hail, but not that damaging so far.

- Then a really deep cold front will hit... temps tomorrow will hit about 82°.  Temps on Tuesday will barely make mid-70's.  Yup, mid-70's.

Summer was here this weekend, but it ain't parked its ass yet.  (BTW, weather after this cold spell, and it is a rare cold spell this late in the year, will be seasonal, temps about 91°-93° the rest of week, normal now is 91°.)

 

Some massive trees down in Park Cities. I’m stuck at DFW trying to get to Vegas. Heard 250k without power. Tornado in Mesquite maybe. That was bad news and came out of nowhere.

looks like that rotation is headed your way phd 

Picked an awesome time to visit my mom in the round rock/north Austin area! Furk

Right now it should go west of me by about 10 miles.  They can still mess shit up even if nothing drops.

3 tornado warnings right now, 2 west of Austin, 1 east.  Hang on for another hour..

Took the dog out before it moves in - hearing thunder for at leas 10-15 minutes in 78759. Just outside of the current tornado warning, looks like they're projecting it more towards Lake Travis.

Some serious rotation moving S just west of Blanco County line...

Yeah that inflow is wicked 

The hook echo in the middle tornado warning looking like it'll track S/SW which should take it by me west by about 7 miles... pretty much exactly where the Cedar Park tornado went (after the Jarrell tragedy) that day.

Not talking about anything but direction, but that one heading towards Lego Vista is similar to Jarrell in that respect.  Appears to be moving from NNE to SSW.

Crazy watching the Tech/Okie State game and some of the fans and umps are in long sleeve shirts. It’s fricken June 9 and they should be dehydrated like the rest of us.

 

Meanwhile down here in South Texas we’ve had three consecutive days of 100-110 temps with heat indexes sometimes reaching the 120 range or above.

 

Fuck...just said a river cruise boat is stuck in lake Buchanan
