If there is indeed a tornado, it will pass S of SAT. S of the 410 loop. That looks rural and largely unpopulated from what my DeLorme says. Hope so. Even the worst of the hail should be S of 410. Highest dbZ attm are 60, too. Good news.

It might produce, but it's got a little while to go still. There is still no velocity couplet on SRMV, though the BWER is quite prominent. Fortunately, the storm is very close to the radar, so I suspect they have a great view of it.

We did call in the tornado; in fact, the police department actually called me back several minutes later to let us know a woman east of Seymore had also called in the tornado as it was passing just north of her house. We lost the tornado not long after the still I posted due to the RFD slamming us. We fought our way through hail-covered roads in Seymore to try and get back on it, but nevr saw it again.

But yes, the report was relayed via 9-1-1... not sure what happened with it after that.

For being Friday the 13th, Texas has sure been lucky with this High Risk! Two supercells over two major metro areas today, and so far damage has been relatively minimal. It could have easily been much worse.

Tornado threat seems to be decreasing, with threat shifting to E TX/LA.

I have been waiting for some discrete development over LA, the low level jet has been fairly convective right into AR. Seems like a lot of people lucked out today. Of course anyone that did receive damage cannot say this. I feel for those people, but for the most part they knew it was coming and what to do during it. The KFAA coverage they had earlier tonight showed the Ft. Worth Streets virtually empty before and during the storm. I am beginning to feel like a good old fashioned squall line will intensify once interaction with the LLJ begins and that already looks like its happening along the TX and LA border. Earlier storms are fizzling while others further south and east are cranking up. Tomorrow looks like a tornado event along the gulf coast. Unimpeded flow from the Gulf, warm moist air. I feel it will be more active than today. Usually is .
