The front has passed junction and looks like it is just west of Fredericksburg. Unfortunately it looks like it might be going through Austin during rush hour.

the front is going through Fredericksburg now (3:00) with gusty winds and the dew point is dropping like a rock. I think we may have dodged the severe weather here in Fredericksburg, now if we can get some rain that would be nice.

That's just hard to swallow.

I hope it isn't this bad when the "worst" reaches us.

The damage pictures make me suggest the killer tornado was an F3, but that is just from what I have seen.

It looks like you got some pretty good rain in the Austin area and escaped the severe weather. As for the hillcountry, we picked up a trace of rainfall. Oh well, maybe next time we will get a good soaker.

Yes double D, we did get some good rain ... close to 1.5-2 inch range in some areas here. Sorry for y'all ... the Hill Country needs rain, too! Not much severe here.
