Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:15 PM

52000 people in that 5% and most of em are in Del Rio lol

There ain't shit out there in the Hill Country

seanbarg 12-Apr-19 01:15 PM

yea next largest would be Junction

overall super rural

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:16 PM

Rocksprings got hit by an F5 back in 1927

Which is insane when you consider how far south that is

Jon 12-Apr-19 01:16 PM

You could say it got..rocked

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:16 PM

Jon 12-Apr-19 01:17 PM

I’m on a roll with bad rock humor because of Jacob

seanbarg 12-Apr-19 01:17 PM

rocksprings is so tiny i imagine it wiped the town

Weathernerd645 12-Apr-19 01:17 PM

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:17 PM

Destroyed 235 of 247 buildings

Killed 74 people

Weathernerd645 12-Apr-19 01:17 PM

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:17 PM

It was an incredible event

seanbarg 12-Apr-19 01:17 PM

wow i hadnt heard of that one before

Weathernerd645 12-Apr-19 01:18 PM

thats wierd

it happened on thsi date in 1927

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:18 PM

It killed 1/3 of the town's population

And basically maimed the rest

Jon 12-Apr-19 01:18 PM

Damn

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:20 PM

I mean there have been some extremely violent tornadoes in S TX before

Weathernerd645 12-Apr-19 01:20 PM

sragosa

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:20 PM

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:20 PM

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:21 PM

Basically Rocksprings is what happens when one of those suckers hits a town

Stebo 12-Apr-19 01:21 PM

i got one

seanbarg 12-Apr-19 01:21 PM

Loyal Valley was a neat one

Stebo 12-Apr-19 01:21 PM

and its a year i been saying for a while

eagle pass

2007

and that was only a 3

the dangerous part about stuff down along the rio grande is that warnings get missed by a lot or get lost in translation

Weathernerd645 12-Apr-19 01:23 PM

id argue that for most of south texas

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 01:24 PM

Case in point the Ciudad Acuna tornado in 2015

(across the border from Del Rio)

Stebo 12-Apr-19 01:24 PM

yep

and i agree Josh

Jdbeesonwx 12-Apr-19 06:27 PM

The HRRR says this may actually be an event

That UHI streak is sfc based according to it

Troy4321 12-Apr-19 06:30 PM

Andrew Berrington (Norman, OK) 12-Apr-19 06:38 PM

bo_sox48 12-Apr-19 06:56 PM

Isn't it just tomorrow before tomorrow?

312will 12-Apr-19 07:07 PM

Oh man. I regret making a commitment in spring. This will be two events I’ll have missed.

bo_sox48 12-Apr-19 07:07 PM

Are you going to be awake for it?

312will 12-Apr-19 07:09 PM

I’ll be in Baltimore. Otherwise, I’d be driving out right now.

Jdbeesonwx 12-Apr-19 09:40 PM

Do I wanna stay up until 2 a.m to radar watch this or nah

Kevin Bente (Huntsville, AL) 12-Apr-19 09:48 PM

@Jdbeesonwx probably not chief

312will 12-Apr-19 11:08 PM

Side West Texas and Panhandles bonus: This will be a good soaking rain for areas that need it, and will help provide moisture for future, further west systems for areas that we all like to chase in.

Freshgeek 12-Apr-19 11:09 PM

Drier than normal conditions started popping up this week, so it will be nice to kill it now (edited)

Stebo 12-Apr-19 11:11 PM

yeah that is going to be good for May, that is a ton of precip
