[ALL WARNINGS HAVE EXPIRED]


Just a heads up. I'm in CP at Parmer and 1431. This storm is tracking to be up in our area, Avery ranch, rr, 620 area, leander, liberty hill, ect. This storm will go across Austin but up here will be first hit.

It was producing baseball hail between us and Killeen.

Tornado threat is mostly done. It was a large cone tornado north of 29 between Bertram and Burnet.


Eta warnings lifted.

Good to hear that the threat is gone for now. I can't express how upset that I would be if Silencer Shop got leveled.

I saw a nice light show off to the NW/straight up 290 on the way home from a buddy's house here about 30 minutes ago, so it looks like it's headed to Houston. I'm sure it's the same system, but I hope the tornadoes stay away!

Austin is full, try Dallas or Houston.

I got my wish - no tornado, no hail, lots of rain at my house.

I got caught in a hail storm in 08 when I was living there. Was living up on Lake Travis in an Air Stream. Air Stream fared fairly well, but my flexible sewer hose didnt. About a week after the storm I went to dump my tanks, little did I know my hose had a ton of holes in it. Shit, Shit everywhere as little streams of shit were spraying out of my hose. My neighbor was just standing there laughing at me. That was fun.

The storm caused my power to go out from 10:30pm until 12:30am.

Thankfully nothing hit near us. Just lots of rain and wind and cool light show.

My buddy's place got hit by lightning. His alarms started going off and wouldn't turn off. Fire dept came out and couldn't get them off. They went off for over 2hrs. No fire but the alarms are tied into his house alarm somehow and the hit caused them to stay on.

I think I'd rather be without power than blaring alarms.

Man.. where is that southern hospitality? lol

Wife and I loved the Austin area when we were there in '12. If we go to Texas, I think it will be the area we go to.

11th largest city is the US based on population within city limits!
4th worst traffic of any major city in North America!
Running out of water due to population growth and long-term draught!
The bloom is off the rose. The city has been loved to death.

And we're being over run with toll roads.

Still better than NJ :-)


And we're being over run with toll roads.

Is there any other kind? Most major roads are toll roads around here. For me to drive to Brooklyn to see my grandparents I have to pay $12 for the bridge between NJ and Staten Island and $15 for the bridge from Staten Island to Brooklyn, plus about $2 in tolls each way on the NJ turnpike. Tolls are nothing new to me :-)

Saw the same shit driving through Kansas back in '06. Vortices are gateways.

But at least it's an 85 MPH toll road. :)
