Cool

That was the call I made in a post late last night.
I'm gonna go out and smoke a fine Romeo Y Julieta cigar!!!

Seriously, low TOR count (1 ATTM) belies SVR threat tonight.

Take care.

At least the Baytown one (where Ticka lives) was "only" an F1. (not to downplay the seriousness of the situation of course. :o )

The total for the SE TX area yesterday was 19 confirmed tornados. They have since classified the Southmore tornado F2 also with most others besides the ones Johnny being F0. I have not seen the final PNS yet for further confirmation. To say the least it was not a fun day in SE TX yesterday!!
