Don’t think so. There’s a tornado on I10

It weakened. There was dark red echoes on the radar when the storms were west of SA and once it got east of there the intensity in the rain got less. Dark red echoes replaced by light red and orange on the radar. That’s what I meant by saying it weakened. Models were hinting at that all day long.

The line is expected to restrengthen once it reaches the I-45 corridor,several of the models have depicted that the line would weaken and then start to strengthen as it progresses east.

Yep! I’m west of that area so it may not be too bad here in central Wharton County.

The cell nearing Caldwell looks like it's ready to kick some tail. Heavy red. A severe T-storm warning has been issued. This line is motoring.

Hope everyone stays severe weather aware.

Seeing a hook echo NE of Caldwell.

Yep! I just hope we can at least get a half inch outta this. It’s very dry here in Wharton County.

I just want the wind to knock down the last of my oak leaves so I can only do one last round of raking. I've been filling 4-5 big compost bags per week...

After a period of weakening, the line appears to be strengthening again. It is encountering some higher PWATS of 1.5" - sometimes that can make all the difference.

It's still 73F here - it's been that same temp. for hours now.

Tornado warning just east of Hempstead/west of the Woodlands.

I’m warned now. Gonna move the boys to my closet

Cloud tops are cooling and storm seems to be really intensifying as it nears Houston. Stay alert until this has passed through your area for possible quick spin-ups along the leading edge of the thunderstorms.

The Squall line is really starting to strengthen just as some of the models were showing.

Holy crap... that was an intense 15-20 seconds at our house. I haven’t felt our house shake and the noise was crazy for a short minute

A little hook echo just West of Mission Bend.
