Interesting system that has NWS posting a pile of flood warnings around San Antonio. People die in flooding so be careful if you are chasing in this.

Honkin' supercell moving down the front and down I-10 near Schulenburg. If it's not undercut, it's moving through a moderately good environment for tornadoes.

Regulated to home due to broken lower control arm on the car.
I am more concerned about the hook on the storm in Austin Co. right now, both storms barreling right in MY direction. If you see any warnings for Katy, I am out watching with the camera...

A day before a torando warning is issued in houston, and my math, and analysis hits the mark again!
Gosh exciting. Look at this page of mine for Tornado Intensity Map, and Tornado And Severe Thunderstorm Watch Boxes I issue!
A new map will come up in 2 hrs from now!

ummm, according to my calculations.... it looks like the main puppy producing tornado warnings is headed down interstate #10 towards Houston. I wonder how busy that highway is...

The Katy Freeway (I-10W) is a giant parking lot Monday-Friday, 3-8pm. Luckily it is Saturday. Tornado warning continues for Southern Harris, through the heart of downtown Houston.
I got a good storm here, dime sized hail, torrential rain and WIND. Times the wind was changing direction so fast I was getting a little nervous. Still getting good CGs just west of my house. The tornado warned area is the same area hit by tornadoes in November. Since I couldn't go anywhere, just pulled the lawn swing in the garage and watched it all.

I "chased the warnings" near Houston today and didn't see much noteworthy.. I probably should have stuck with the best looking storm, the first one I saw when I drove north from home to near Tomball. It had some nice looking low-hanging scud in the rain free base to the south of the rain area; I found out later that storm dropped baseball hail on Magnolia to the north.
While there, I heard a tornado warning for Waller County to the west with Prairie View in the path so I got to Prairie View in 15 min.. but the main rain area was to the south. So I went south from there, encountering heavy rain and street flooding in Brookshire. Then I went on I-10 to the east through Katy but I couldn't catch up to the tornado warnings continuing to the east, due to traffic slowing to 30 mph on the freeway in the heavy rain and small hail. It was a fun outing though, and I learned a little about the importance of taking visual cues.
Note that local TV reported damage likely from a small tornado in SW Houston, where cars were overturned in a parking lot w/ structural damage to stores and a gas station canopy nearby.
