Re: Texas Spring 2020
I think it will miss me just to the east. I can hear thunder already and the lightning it crazy.

I thought I would get "gapped," but a small cell out ahead is developing rapidly and headed right for me.

Re: Texas Spring 2020
Light show is starting to get kicking. Low roll of thunder is pretty impressive given how far away storms still are from MBY.

Last night's storm was more severe, but mine isn't warned. Some of the cells pack a punch.

Re: Texas Spring 2020
Not nearly as much wind as I expected given the radar presentation
I was downstairs watching out on the patio and kept waiting for more

58mph gust at DFW airport. Pretty standard line, albeit broken on the western end. Nothing too extraordinary. Not much lightning or thunder at the airport to report, brief downpour.

Same, these storms didn’t have a bite to match the bark. Good thing, we don’t need it after the tornadoes last October or the windstorm last June.

Honestly all day today I was kind of feeling like it was gonna be a borderline deal despite the moderate risk but then when that little bow echo came down from Denton I started thinking wind was gonna a big deal but yeah it was just lacking to me what had me convinced too was the eerie quiet right before it hit

Squall line seems to be intensifying as it heads into Southeast Texas with more bow segments forming.

Constant thunder and little bits of hail have fallen over here in Bell. The rain just can’t stop splashing, huh?

Re: Texas Spring 2020
Had a 46 mph gust. Station is 30 ft up with the closest obstruction far enough to register an honest wind reading.
10 minute average was 27 mph. I havent seen sustained wind like that in a very very long time. Maybe since Ike.
I was having a lot of trouble trying to post a pic, so i just gave up. I used the same method i used before in imgur.
