Texas was front and center for twisters on Monday. There were 22 reports of tornados.  Overall there were also 49 wind damage reports and 25 hail damage reports with some reaching 1.75” in diameter!

I highlighted the spot of the most incredible tornado video you will see below. It was spotted in Elgin, TX just outside of Austin.

INCREDIBLE VIDEO:

Before we get started, check this out from the severe storm outbreak on Monday:

A tornado gets turned over by a tornado, then put back on it’s wheels and the people drive away. 

You may not see this on TV unless licensed. It is OK online as they get ad revenue.

*Disclaimer due to frequent questions:

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here you may have missed it:

I have dyslexia, and found out at my second year at Cornell.  I didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. 

I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. 

All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. 

There is no editor that can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. 

I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me…

It’s part of my charm.
