I'm at work, and we were ordered into our interior training room in the building because of a tornado warning that was issued around 10:30 and expired at 11am.
The storm was to our east according to radar on my phone, but the box included this area of the county. I kept refreshing the NWS site. The box on their site disappeared at 10:45, but we were told to stay there until 11am since that was official expiration.
I'll be glad when today is over. I'll take El Nino rains without the severe any day.
Looking forward to trick or treating with my little one tomorrow!

We'll have to watch later this evening. The ULL will kick out and fire storms (already evident to the west and southwest of Austin). Despite all the rain that has already occurred there is a lot of upper air winds, with effective bulk shear. Those storms could be in the form of super cells vs this morning's training lines (isolated tornado cases).

This article about using nature to predict winter pretty much sums up this El Nino having so few analogs, especially for the Northern U.S.

That's pretty neat stuff. I'm always interested in the natural clues, squirrels etc! I just wish there is some more consensus data on it. Perhaps someone would do a test theory over many years I bet there are good correlations.
There isn't a lot of analogs for this El Nino, but really there isn't many analogs that match any El Nino. Back in 1997 who would've thought it would turn out to be a torch for the whole country? There weren't many analogs for the strongest Nino on record then either. In 2009 the consensus for December was warm for the time it was a moderate/strong borderline Nino but turned out very cold, there weren't analogs that fit that either. But it is an El Nino and in a broad sense they do behave based on odds similarly. The odds are stacked to their favorability and smaller scale things (such as the NPAC, NAO etc) can tug and pull a little in short time periods.
A weaker ENSO event (such as last year) can stack less odds thus other things become a stronger player.

Re: Texas Fall-2015
8 inches now at my house. There are ongoing evacuations on the southeast side of the city along Onion Creek. A flood gate has been opened letting water out of Lake Austin and pushing it through the city downstream. The Colorado River downstream from Austin will have a significant rise later on. Barton Creek is still rising as well as Shoal Creek through Downtown. Williamson Creek is the closest to me. The houses in my neighborhood along Williamson Creek have the creek in their back yards.

Stay safe. Looking at radar there could be more rain on the way later today.
Based on reports around the Austin area is pretty much what you are saying. Anyone or any road near a creek is in jeopardy. And based on KXAN twitter feed looks like Onion creek eclipsed the big flood of 1998 with over 25'

ALONG THE ESCARPMENT FROM JUST NORTHWEST OF SAN ANTONIO THROUGH
WIMBERLEY AND KYLE TO SOUTHEAST SIDES OF AUSTIN. BACKBUILDING

CELL TRAINING CONTINUES TO OCCUR. THIS...COUPLED WITH A 50 KT
SOUTHERLY LLJ...STRONG ISENTROPIC ASCENT...AND OROGRAPHIC LIFTING
ALONG THE ESCARPMENT...CONTINUES TO GENERATE CONVECTION.
ALTHOUGH CONVECTION IS SLIGHTLY LESS DEEP THAN IT WAS A FEW HOURS
AGO WHEN UP TO 6 INCH/HR RAIN RATES WERE OBSERVED...THIS TRAINING
WILL CONTINUE A SIGNIFICANT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT
PRIMARILY ALONG A LINE ORIENTED FROM SAN MARCOS TO ELGIN TO
LEXINGTON. FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR
FAR NW BEXAR...MOST OF COMAL AND HAYS...AND THE ONION CREEK BASIN
IN SOUTHEAST TRAVIS COUNTIES. ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT FLASH
FLOODING IS ALSO VERY LIKELY TO EXPAND INTO BASTROP...LEE...EASTERN
TRAVIS...AND POSSIBLY FAR EASTERN WILLIAMSON COUNTIES IN THE NEXT
FEW HOURS AS CELLS CONTINUE MOVING INTO THESE AREAS. ISOLATED RAIN
TOTALS IN EXCESS OF 20 INCHES ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.
A THREAT FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES ALONG AND EAST OF THE ESCARPMENT ALSO
EXISTS FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH SHEAR VALUES IN
EXCESS OF 55 KTS AND HELICITY VALUES ABOVE 300 M^2/S^2. ALTHOUGH
THIS THREAT IS WINDING DOWN TO SOME EXTEND DUE TO A RELATIVE LACK
OF DISCRETE CELLS...ANY NEW CELL DEVELOPMENT SOUTHWEST OF THIS
LINE AND INTO THE TRAINING LINE MAY HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF
PRODUCING A TORNADO. HOWEVER...THE PRIMARY THREAT BY FAR FOR THIS
EVENT IS SIGNIFINCANT FLASH AND SUBSEQUENT RIVER FLOODING.
THE AFTERNOON AFD WILL COVER MORE ABOUT HOW THIS SYSTEM WILL
EVOLVE TONIGHT...BUT HI-RES MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE SCATTERED
TO WIDESPREAD CELLS WILL DEVELOP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...THOUGH
IT WILL SEEM LIKE A LULL COMPARED TO THIS MORNINGS RAINFALL. HI-
RES AND MODEL GUIDANCE HAVE GENERALLY NOT HANDLED THIS EVENT VERY
WELL...BUT THE CURRENT RAP AND HRRR MODEL RUNS DO INDICATE THIS AS
WELL...THOUGH THINKING IT WILL NOT BE QUITE AS PROGRESSIVE AS THEY
SUGGEST. AFTER A RELATIVE LULL THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECT CELLS TO
REDEVELOP TONIGHT ALONG A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH AFTER 20-21Z THIS
AFTERNOON IN THE EDWARDS PLATEAU AND RIO GRANDE PLAINS BEFORE
MOVING INTO THE I-35 CORRIDOR LATER THIS EVENING AFTER 1-3Z. THIS
RAINFALL SHOULD BE MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE...BUT STILL THINKING 1 TO
2 INCHES OF RAINFALL TONIGHT WITH ISOLATED TOTALS TO 4 INCHES WILL
BE POSSIBLE. THE HRRR ALSO SUGGESTS THE AREA THAT RECEIVED THE
HEAVIEST RAINFALL MAY BE TOO WORKED OVER FROM AN INSTABILITY
STANDPOINT TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...GIVEN THE FOCUSED AREA AND STRONG SYNOPTIC FORCING
TONIGHT...FEEL THE HRRR IS PROBABLY TOO AGRESSIVE ON THAT AT THE

Re: Texas Fall-2015
People are on the rooftops of their homes in some of those neighborhoods in Southeast Austin. Latest is that Onion Creek could rise just one foot below the all time record crest which occurred almost exactly 2 years ago with the 2013 Halloween Flood. It's possible it could tie it.
Barton Creek could also have the highest recorded crest too.

That lone cell producing a lot of rotation and occasionally a tornado continues its long trek, from near Austin to now near College Station. Perfect setup for a long tracking storm with this strong southerly inflow.

Onion creek is already almost a foot over past that crest. The San Marcos river will crest around memorial day levels they are expecting

Yea very true. The concern is what will be coming up later this afternoon. By the way kxan is doing commercial free coverage for those interested in watching their live stream. Just type kxan.com

From jeff:
Catastrophic lift threatening flash flood event ongoing over central TX.
16 inches of rainfall recorded at Kyle, TX and 13.98 at Canyon Lake. 13.40 inches recorded by a LCRA gage on the SE side of Austin.
Rainfall rate was 6.98 inches in 1-hr on the SE side of Austin.
Disastrous flash flooding is tearing through the Blanco, Comal, San Marcos, and Guadalupe Rivers.
Onion Creek at Driftwood, TX has established a new record level surpassing the previous record by over a foot and still rising. Catastrophic flooding is imminent in the Onion Creek watershed on the south side of Austin…or the same areas devastated by the Halloween Flood of 2013. See the last hydrograph below showing Onion Creek at Hwy 183 rising from 13ft to 29 ft in 45 minutes.
Many persons are trapped on several freeways underwater and on their rooftops along the Blanco and San Marcos Rivers with some homes being torn from their foundations near Wimberley and San Marcos.
This is a life threatening flash flood event with all emergency capabilities in central TX overwhelmed.
LCRA has begun flood gate operations at Tom Miller Dam due to large inflows into the Colorado River below Lake Travis. Tremendous inflow from Onion and Barton Creeks into the river below Austin will generate a large flood wave on the river this evening which will move downstream toward Bastrop and Smithville Saturday.
