Severe weather outbreaks 2015/2018

a reply to: TechniXcality

Stay safe! That storm is wicked looking. It seems as if wave after wave have been coming in. I'm in Austin and they're already predicting more flooding for the next few days from these new storms. Think I'm going to invest in a rubber raft, a few life jackets for the house and car along with a few bicycle helmets. Oh, and a stun gun for the alligators in the creek behind our subdivision. The creek a few days ago was starting to overrun the neighborhood along with the rattlesnakes and some say gators. There was a 11.5 foot one found there in 2011. It was named after the creek, The Wilbarger Monster.

Interesting times we're living in,

Stay safe,

STM

ETA: Oh wait! Can I use a stun gun in rain or flood? Doesn't sound like a good idea on that, it's off the list.

Duck and cover time! It looks like it is forming hooks which can be a sign of tornados. Please be careful, hope your cars are in the garage. Flashlights, transistor radio, cushions in the downstairs bathroom to protect you if you do hear the "freight train" sound. Wow, that storm is incredible mean, take care!

Well, the wind and rain just hit, and thank God the Hill Country and cooler night temps weakened the storm down to regular levels here. We do have high winds along with 1 to 2 inches of rain, but not as bad as the other night.

It looks like the storm is camped over Dallas, just sort've stalling for a bit there. How are you doing TXY? Is it flooding there?

Just heard that there was a houseboat with about 20 people moored on Sandy Creek leading into Lake Travis and the high winds pulled the dock loose while the houseboat was still attached and both are in the midst of the storm tied together free floating. Water rescue is out there in the storm helping them. I hope they're all safe. Should be interesting to hear the story tomorrow. I wonder if the boat was rented by a frat or sorority from UT? Pretty popular party zone there.

How's San Antonio doing Lysergic? Looks like it broke up a bit for y'all too? Stay safe everyone!

Man Dallas is getting poured on but the storms died down a bit.. I'll update more, looks like more storms are forecast I have no clue how much more our state can take?? Everyone be safe

a reply to: TechniXcality

Just got word on the houseboat that was free floating attached to a dock that had pulled loose too. The 18 people aboard rented it for a bachelor's party. And the news channels are saying it was more than one boat. The news tomorrow should have lots of video, lol, of what I'm not sure!

On a serious note, TXY, yeah, Texas is definitely out of the drought. It's almost as if something is healing the dried land, filling the lakes and turning Texas back into a green land. Unfortunately, it took lives in the process and that I'm upset about. It has been an extreme process.

Thank God Moses Austin and followed through by Stephen F. Austin picked a location for the Austin Colony that had the Hill country to break up the majority of storms, knock them down in intensity. Sorta the lay of the land thing. But even that is no guarantee when the super high top storms come through. So yeah, I'm worried about this trend, several have made it through intact at this point, and several have been shredded by the Hill country.

Take care Texas,

Stand Strong and Thank God for Ending the Drought,

Pray for Safe Conditions Through this Process,

I'd think by now most people recognize it. Whatever natural storm systems we were accustomed to have intensified 10 fold in recent times. Growing up in the NE we had our occasional blizzards. And negative temperatures, however the past few years have been nothing short of remarkable. We had the "polar vortex" sweep in three times this year back to back. I was genuinely keeping an eye out for penguins migrating here.

The storms in Tx were pretty wicked from what I saw on TV, same for weather systems across the pond.

......I wonder if this is what it felt like to be a dinosaur pre-extinction. Oh that's right....we still presume it was an asteroid. Maybe, maybe not.

My client's flight was supposed to arrive home in Dallas at midnight but couldn't land and so they flew to Oklahoma to refuel. Again, they couldn't land. She just got home about ten minutes ago!

It's crazy out there. News telling us to stay home right now. Too much flooding going on, lots of high water rescues.

More storms later tonight, too. It has rained 22 out of 28 days this month and we've had 57 tornadoes in May so far!

Stay safe, everyone!

They're not intensifying. The old timers remember years like these, storms worse than these.

It just feels bad if you've never lived through it.

My experience finds that statement as untrue. "Old timers" I speak to say they've never seen anything like this. Locally, there have been three historical floods most old timers have lived through, the third happening just a couple years ago. That's not what gets them, it's the highly erratic weather with temp swings beyond bizzare. Freak polar vortex's, animals behaving irrationally and so on.

Now if we're talking real, real, real old timers than sure. Like a few thousand years old.

i have always felt very fortunate where i live, there hasn't been severe weather disasters.

i wonder how much of this is connected to HAARP and nikola tesla.

Well... I have never posted in this forum before so here's something that has caught my eye. I live in Calgary now and being from Texas I never thought this would happen here:

CBC Calgary Tornado

I don't know what to even think about this... Is it possible that there's tornadoes up here?

I remember a tornado in Edmonton about 30 years ago. Of course it made a bee line for the nearest trailer park.

Last week I was thinking I was so lucky, America is burning, everywhere else seems to be having avalanches, floods, droughts, fires, earthquakes, tsunamis..... and then we had a terrible storm last night. We actually had tornadoes (something I never see here). All my apples and pears were knocked out of the tree before they were ripe... But elsewhere in this area, people have died, people lost their homes in the floods, it is chaotic. Army helicopters circle us above. It's a mess.
I imagine the doom porn group and their September prophesies must be ecstatic these days!

wind is blowing like crazy where i live (Europe) at the moment! I think they announced heavy rain too.

stay safe.

Here in Georgia (US) we are in our second season. South of Atlanta Ga had 1 tornado and high winds and heavy flooding rain Wednesday.

a reply to: hillbilly4rent

So far, in the 2nd tornado season, we have had 32 Tornado's There are 3 others they haven't decided if they are considered tornado's or Straight line winds or ......

Watching the weather channel and they are discussing this right now.

Wow experiencing the craziest storm in a LONG time right now. heavy rain hammering down and strong winds.
