It got upgraded to EF-3, which was confirmed from the Damage Assessment Toolkit.

Have the link just in case you need it.

The tornado which struck Pasadena on Tuesday was certainly tragic and uncommon for our area, but strong tornadoes are not unheard of here. Back on Nov. 21, 1992, there was a very significant tornado outbreak across our area. A large F-4 tornado (a mile wide) cut a 30-mile path across nearly the same area (just a little north). The wife and I were biking near Sealy that day. Had to take shelter as a much smaller tornado passed very near us. No cell phones with radar apps back then.

First report of the SE Harris county in Houston. More to come.

I am more concerned for this Spring Storm Season compared to last year because the drought in the SW is much weaker compared to last year.

Possible Severe Weather on the horizon.

With a recent shift in ensemble guidance towards a lead trough lifting further northwest and with more separation between waves, the door to a potentially significant severe threat appears to be opening across the Southeast around 2/15-16.

Dixie Alley Outbreak possible next week, it's looking big

I don't think I have ever seen a Slight Risk this big.

Yeah, this is looking ugly.

I looked at the SREF on the SPC. The Derecho, STP, and Supercell Composite Parameters are high. Tonight is going to be very rough.

Yikes.

For later in the week it will be a larger area of coverage.

I saw that from the SPC Discussion, very strong wording from the SPC.

A big area of concern for Thursday.
