Sounds like Alex Jones doing the weather report.

Last time I remember was that storm that rolled through here last March and dropped the Round Rock tornado. There was a small High area and we were in the bullseye.

That tornado was half a mile from us. We were watching the warnings on KXAN and only after the tornado passed did we realize we were watching on a half hour delay. Thanks TiVo.

Another view (I just search Twitter I don’t subscribe or follow these folks) for the Iowa tornado:

When did Kyle Kinane become a storm chaser?

[boknowstecmo 216]

Huge tornado moving in a little south south of Memphis. 

[The Ace of Aces 5186]

Chicago about to hear some tornado sirens - 90 mph winds headed its way with possible tornado embedded 

[Updawg 2267]

Yeah that whole area about to get nailed

[Rip76 4930]

This footage, wow.

 

[YGIFS 19450]

this kinda shit doesn't usually happen in March.  

[Hate 20108]

The super outbreak of 1974 happened April 3-4, just a few days after March. March is on average the 5th busiest tornado month of the year.

http:// https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Super_Outbreak

There was a super outbreak in March of 2012.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_March_2–3,_2012

There was one as recently as 2021.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_sequence_of_March_24–28,_2021

It happens.

[YGIFS 19450]

I know it happens, worst one near where I grew up in Illinois was in March.  But "Fifth Busiest Tornado Month" outta 12 isn't exactly soothing.  Since there's only 12 months.  13 if you count Toyotathon.  

[Updawg 2267]

What about truck month?

[Nicole44 22060]

 

So heartbreaking. This is very much like that 1974 tornado season. From reading about it. I remember reading about a massive one that hit Wichita Falls but can remember the year. 

That damage path (above Tweet) my goodness. Is this the same tornado that hit Palestine Illinois last night?

That is your definition of a nightmare. A violent tornado is the starter. And on top of it, at night, just a dark, menacing death machine periodically illuminated by lightning. 

Fuck that. 

[Trey3216 15346]

I see we’re now in the threat level 3 for tornadoes this afternoon here in Waco area.  Should be good times. 

[Hate 20108]

Yeah, it could be a bad day to be in North Texas.

[Trey3216 15346]

We ain’t got shit 

[cactusflinthead 27599]

 

[HenryJames 66081]

I think that’ll sort itself out.

Yep. Better chance later in the week.

But if it's gonna be 90s tomorrow maybe we get something to pop up

That thing looked gnarly for a while there.

[Storm the Field 5295]

What a difference a day makes:

Ah yeah, doing the thing it always does. One week out, it's a huge bath for the entire area that's in a bad drought... and as it gets closer the rain moves farther south and east... with the difference between getting 0.25" nothing burger and badly needed 2-3" being a 30 mile band situated right over Austin. 

I predict instead of the 2-3" currently shown as a possibility we get a half inch and that's it. Every fucking time.

Exactly. Just checked the history of my weather station.

March: 1.24"
Feb: 1.30"
Jan: 0.98"
Dec: 1.38"

Less than five inches of rain in the past four months. Fucking ridiculous.

[HenryJames 66081]

Your wife got less than five inches in the past four months.

[Hate 20108]

The Midwest is up against it again tomorrow.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a PDS issued tomorrow.

Holy shit.  It just got real fucking weird.  We're a bit SW of Zilker Park.  And everything just went dead calm and then blew up with wind, clouds, and pressure just fell off the table.  

[atomheartbevo 89686]

[South Austin 52515]

Got pretty dark in downtown for a few minutes, but now it looks like we ain't getting shit.

[Guest]

L-o-fucking-l. Nice line of storms, Austin. Be a shame if something happened to them.

Fuck this 2" of rain forecasted. We're lucky to get 0.5"

[South Austin 52515]

That pic is classic force field.

[texasdago 7573]

[UnivTex34 1763]

Yeah, I was just about to post a loop

Shields at full strength this morning.

[irishtexan 11521]

We. Ain't. Getting. Shit.

[boknowstecmo 216]

This line is edging Austin. Incredible. It stretches from San Antonio to Canada and we still won't see shit from it.

[Post Oak 20232]

What a tease rolled right over my house got about 30 seconds of downpour and a lightning show.
