Blew through here earlier. A lot of bark but thankfully not much bite. Even though the line was huge and was pretty much one giant severe thunderstorm warning, I think we only had one tornado warning. We had more damage in the area from the high winds blowing out ahead of the storm.

Woke up this morning, and my truck looked janky as can be covered in dust and spotted like a cat. Come to find out, there were dust storms in West Texas earlier this week. It got into the atmosphere, carried east, and came down with a little rain that fell overnight.

It takes some big brash ones to stay in there and call play by play as a tornado hits the building you are broadcasting from.

The same weatherperson in Waco or OKC would either be dead or a wx hero for standing his or her ground against the Finger of God. This might have been an EF-1 tops. A glorified waterspout.

An EF2 says the NWS.

This weekend an early morning storm with 90-mph straight line winds blew through my media market and killed a man staying in an RV at a drag strip on the east side of the county. Nobody at the NWS was forecasting this 12 hours earlier. Early sign of DOGE-style forecasting?

No clue but they've already got a Level 3 up for most of this state for Saturday. That's mighty early in the week for them to ring that bell, which makes me a little queasy.

EF2, and it can't be a waterspout if it's not over water.

Alabama in 2008 was the epitome of "Couldn't hit a trey to save your life." Except Mykal Riley did exactly that.

Looks like Meridian will soon be renamed Poundtown.
