Anyone an idea why this event nearly busted ? Thursday´s forecast was a horror-scenario.

I think the squall line that formed in Texas last night removed some of the instability and the low level jet ended up east of the strongest instability.

Lots of cells near the Mississippi, but they can't seem to make the next step...

and man, what a storm that was...80 mph winds in the area, along with a possible funnel cloud going over my neighborhood, cut power to my school and the day was canceled. Trees and fences are down everywhere, with even some broken windows and roof damage. Some streets experienced significant damage, and are nearly impassable.
