All Austin metro about to get severe thunderstorm warning, pea-size jail and 70 mph winds in many spots. Going to be a fun 20 minutes.

 

[SimonBolivar 10,957]

KXXV talking about rotation possibly near...Jarrell

 

 

Of course

[Anastasis 23,454]

Big booms. 

[phdhorn 6,224]

Tornado warning for Georgetown and north of Round Rock, potential tornado.

[SimonBolivar 10,957]

Looks like there might be a tornado on the ground passing I35 between Georgetown and Jarrell 

[phdhorn 6,224]

Not sure I've ever seen this before...

[Updawg 2,266]

Wind picking up. Looks like a little hole might open up around the land of MILFs and honey?

Yeah. I can see that coming right over my hood in sw austin and not getting shit

[phdhorn 6,224]

I'm getting nailed easily with 50 mph winds, hard rain but brief.

Not without it sitting over them.

listen, just like i told my lady friend, 30 seconds or 30 mins, its all the same... 

[boknowstecmo 216]

Looks like strong rotation just south of Bee Cave. 

[Anastasis 23,454]

no hail so far. 

[phdhorn 6,224]

The little cell passing over me right now has small hail, nothing damaging, 50 to 60 mph winds and it's moving right toward oak Hill and South austin. Don't think it'll be real bad but could knock a few things around.

[phdhorn 6,224]

Rain is much harder than I anticipated but it's moving so fast it won't flood.

For all of this bluster, only one little hail core in the entire Travis county area and it went right over my house and is moving into Southwest and South austin. But it's small hail.

[South Austin 52,431]

Windy as fuck in Brentwood.

[TexArcher 37,761]

Dumping rain and lots of lightning in 78730, but the wind doesn't seem too bad.

[jimmyjazz 45,877]

Pretty uneventful in 78731 so far.  My old dog is still losing her mind.

[boknowstecmo 216]

Big gusts way down in 44

[1978horn 892]

78737 getting a shit ton of rain

[phdhorn 6,224]

Looks like the worst is over for me, the rest of you probably will get a lot of wind and rain but you should live through it...probably, maybe. Have a nice day.

Yeah, my 13-year-old buddy is leaning on me all shaky.  Dude tried to fight a garbage truck once, but thunder makes him turtle like a bitch.

[Ghost of LL 15,531]

Wow—this is some shit in the ‘46. No hail, but wind and rain so hard I couldn’t see out my windshield even with the wipers on their highest setting.

[South Austin 52,431]

Wind gusts have died down a bit but still some heavy rain falling.

[utee94 15,797]

Almost zero rain in NW Travis.  Lots of wind for about 10 minutes.  It's past us now.

So... yeah... total nothingburger.

Raining sideways in 78753

78717 (west side of Round Rock) just light rain off & on. Some wind & a little thunder.

[Deej 76,750]

That's what Mrs. Brat said.

[burntorangebongos 10,710]

It is just drizzling now in '34. There was some decent rainfall but it didn't even last an hour.  My lights flickered a second though....nearly triggered me after my 3 days and 10 hours without power last time. 

[SimonBolivar 10,957]

Ended up being a great storm for me south of Waco. Wind wasn't too bad based on our fence configuration , no hail, no nadoes, just a crap ton of rain.

 

Peach tree is blooming. Plum tree, blackberries, and dewberries starting to wake up too. Spring is here in Texas bitches.

Yep.  The heavy stuff stayed south and we got a good drench.  

[Pam Cummings 9,639]

San Antonio looks like it's getting blasted on the radar.

[SimonBolivar 10,957]

Hurricane force winds hit Corsicana so that's no fun.

[burntorangebongos 10,710]

Yeah please delete the one I started as my dumbass apparently searches like an 80 year old.

 

Or maybe we'll get a lot of rain with two threads

[atomheartbevo 89,618]

I'm still on the ACC notification text list or whatever, and they have two campuses, including the Round Rock campus, without power.

Austin Energy only shows around 1,600 people without power.

So.....yeah, it happened, but not really.

[Trey3216 15,343]

Wife asks me at 7:15 to drive to her mom’s to tie down the trampoline (she lives about 6 minutes away).  Storm is set to hit my house at 7:20th ish and her’s at 7:25.  I’ll be damned if I didn’t get that bitch anchored to 3 trees with my ratchet straps when the bottom fell out and sirens started going back at my house (no reason for them to go off).   But did I die?    Not today

[texasdago 7,562]

Give or take half an inch in SW Austin but, man, does the SATX area just get crazy hail all the time?  WTF.

[The Ace of Aces 5,175]

Was hailing inside the Alamodome during the 5A girls semifinal. They had to stop the game. 

 

 

[Brisketexan 105,046]

So, we all died in this severe weather outbreak, right?
