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

I'm struggling to reboot my meteorology expertise after 5 years of focusing on election law, virology, economics, international relations and military tactics.

No shit. Scary

Very scary...unless you have a damn cellphone to film with. But, of course, I imagine finding a basement in New Orleans would be a tad difficult, so I guess you might as well just film it at that point.

Next storm event scheduled for late Tuesday/into Wednesday.  Severe?  Possibly.  Anything approaching within a galaxy of the last event?  No.  That won't happen for 10 years again at least.  Book it.  No, really, book it.

Yeah, I was reading what Avery Tomasco was saying locally that this past week's event had alllll the signals a week out and this one is not that.

Tornadoes are possible in every single state including Alaska and Hawaii. They obviously are more common or frequent in some states, but they can occur anywhere in the United States.

I could bang any supermodel. Obviously some would be more likely than others, but any of them a possibility.

They found Red Pickup guy

https://www.kxan.com/news/local/bastrop-county/we-found-the-red-pickup-truck-that-flipped-over-in-elgin-tornado/

No idea if he has a blue shed.

Quote

 

Commander Crim said he spoke with the driver on the side of the road shortly after the tornado hit.

“I asked if he was okay, and he shook his head and didn’t really answer me,” he said. At that point, Crim had not seen the video yet.

“Now I understand why he had a blind stare. I’m sure he was scared to death,” he said. Crim said a woman who identified herself as an off-duty EMT had wrapped the driver’s arm in a bandage.

We’re still working to track down the driver himself. Police said they believe he’s in his late teens or 20s.

 

The fact he probably couldn't speak English and you are a cop played a factor as well. If that guy is legal, he's sitting on a gold mine of Chevy endorsement cash.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was well up there, even a 4 at points. 

The CentTex tornadoes were as follows, at this point (could change):
  

000
NOUS44 KEWX 232152
PNSEWX
TXZ194-241000-

Public Information Statement
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
452 PM CDT Wed Mar 23 2022

...Preliminary Tornado Information from Surveys...

The following information is preliminary on the tornadoes that
have been confirmed from Monday March 21 in South Central Texas.
More rating and track details are being finalized this week from
additional photos, flyovers, and even drone footage from our
emergency management partners...and detailed Public Information
Statements will be issued. Ground surveys were completed today in
Jarrell and Giddings. Of note is a correction on the Kingsbury
Max wind from an earlier PNS issuance.

Tornado Name         Prelim Max Rating / Max Wind Speed
_______________________________________________________________
Elgin Tornado                     EF-2 / 130 MPH
Kingsbury Tornado                 EF-2 / 115 MPH (correction)
Round Rock - Granger              EF-2 / 135 MPH
Jarrell                           EF-1 / 100 MPH
Giddings                          EF-1 /  95 MPH

As we study and look at additional photos, EF ratings could change.

Round Rock might easily get boosted to EF-3, which begins at... wait for it... 136 mph.

Sweet, can’t wait for another 0.1” of rain for SA. Take that, stage 4 drought!

It’s such a great story. Honestly. On his way to a job interview at Whataburger…

Bruce Lowrie Chevrolet in Fort Worth is gifting him a 2022 Silverado (and he got the job at Whataburger).

Good for him!  Poor kid deserves it.

Although shit if Id've known that I would've driven my '96 Explorer into an F1.  Of course, not sure what they'd give an old white guy but I can fake like I don't speak English if that helps.

What’s baffling is how does the camera never move/lose power?

And is that a cat’s face plastered to the lens for about five seconds at around the :34 mark? (Cat features come into focus at :38.) Probably an illusion, or Whiskers went on one helluva wild ride.

Camera was getting its power through the network (CAT5) cabling, so unless the switch the cable ran from was taken off line or destroyed the camera would still receive power.  Shortly before the damage occurred, the power went out, but the camera was still recording; meaning, there was a UPS the switch was attached to.  Plus, the footage made its way back to whatever server they are using to store their video, so their entire network pathway was not destroyed or powered down from that camera upstream.

Tornados do funny things; we've all seen photos of homes destroyed, but 2 walls left standing, with pictures intact and whatnot.
