It's looking for Helen Hunt's house.

Ok that was funny as shit

[SimonBolivar 10898]

KWTX field reporter is saying there are tons of damage in SW Bell and they're looking for people in the rubble.

Officially downgraded to a Severe Thunderstorm Warning.

I think the KWTX guy is about to cry, said he just heard his friend's house was destroyed.

Yep.  Brady is a good dude.  Seems to be affecting him.

[Post Oak 20182]

I'm glad Salado seemed to be spared.  Love going down to Barrow Brewing there.

Well, the shit west of DFW was looking pretty fearsome for a bit, as far as wind and hail, but, knock on wood, it's petering out bigtime before hitting the big d.  We're not even under Severe Tstorm anymore.  Still got a tornado watch, so that's nice.

May not even fuck up the mtb trails too much.

It’s a great little spot.  We usually hit up Kissing Tree on the way there, or the way back.

Good sized.  Could make a quart of blue bell with enough milk, sugar and salt.

Check out the comments all the weather stations want to use it, that is big ass hail, or stuck together

Wonder what happened to the Enhanced corridor from DFW to OKC. DFW storms going full turtle.

[Damor 1232]

Checking in on the Shart thread from the 76571.  Had to have a couple beers first.

If that hadn't turned at the last minute, my house would have been right in the path.  We've had two pretty close calls these last two storms.

 

I'm ready to move to Colorado now.

For central Dallas, that was probably the biggest damp fart to come out of "Enhanced" that I can remember.  It would be a wet fart, but we barely got rain.

I’m partial to Rusty Garrett, as he’s a really good friend of mine, but Brady does a damn good job and they are all over FB and other social media outlets.  
 

especially since Rusty has about 88% retired

Rusty was the best

Back from dinner.  It was good.

Cap (go ahead, say forcefield if it makes you happy) held over us.  Just apparently not enough lift.  Once again SPC/NWS nailed this forecast.  Bravo.

I think the tornado in N. Wille pooped out due to daylight waning, among other things.  Good.

Surprised to see a tornado watch still in effect (until 11), possibly the ability for a little disturbance to kick up, but to my eyes it should be over for today.

I'll check back to see if any radar pops up, doubt it.

Headed toward my dead great uncle's former farm near Rosebud.

I'll take it all day.  But as someone mentioned above I hope to see a breakdown as to why it fell apart as it moved in.  Because it looked pretty damn intimidating an hour out.

What are the chances for tomorrow?  Did this line suck all the energy out of the atmosphere?

I know this isn’t for me but it looks like the chances are very heavy but primarily AR, TN
MS

Looks like the inversion never broke over DFW area, they can only get so big before they are”capped” and fall apart

Like near zero.  Partly, and partly because there's nothing to trigger lift/storms.

So are you saying the "cap" stayed in place? I noticed it stayed overcast/never really warmed up much above 80.  Was hoping that helped.

That’s my guess and from my understanding the big enhanced risk was based on them not knowing exactly when and where it would break and allow the intense storms to develop, plenty of energy widespread but in the capped locations not enough lift

Same, had that hail for a solid five minutes. Truck looks like a golf ball. 

[Armybrat 40678]

At least I have a choice in headgear when putting the trash & recycle cans out on the curb...

Think I’ll choose the one on the right.
