‘That’ was interesting…
Last night got a bit ‘sporty’ for about 1 1/2 hours as we had a major weather ‘event’ move through Tiny Town…
We got a little over an inch of rain in about an hour, and two reported tornadoes, one a few miles south of us, another a few miles northwest of us, and a ‘lowering’ coming right at us.
Highest ‘sustained’ winds were measured at 70 mph (straight line), and of course we were put under ‘flood watch’ as soon as the tornado warnings had dropped. We were also ‘featured’ on Ryan Hall’s YouTube channel, which is something you NEVER want to see.
I had the computers off, TV off, and kept watch from the garage until the winds started blowing rain six feet into the garage and power started flickering.
So no, I don’t have any pictures of the weather mass, and videos of rain never show well, sorry about that.
This is an after the fact shot of what ran over us last night taken about an hour later. The ‘stuff’ over Lawton is what hit us going NE at about 25mph, and it took a while for ALL that mess to go over.

I turned the computer on long enough to get this drafted and up, and I went to bed, because we were supposed to get hit again about 0400.
Bottom line, we’re all okay, just a tad wet…
Welcome to life on the dry line… sigh
Glad to hear you’re OK.
Glad you are OK. saw your weather last night on the news today.
We were, thankfully spared the violent storms this time around.
Stay safe.
Glad you made it through.
Dry Line.
You keep using that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means….
If you mean west side, dewpoints in the 20s and 30s, and east side, dew points in the 50s and 60s, then it’s a dry line.
Sometimes it’s not even that much of a difference, if other things are “just right.” The weather here does whatever it seems to want to do.
Colorado’s Front Range gift to Texas. We got two days of soaking rain. Nebraska got hit hard by wind. Blinding dust storms,among other things.
Hope the flooding isn’t too extreme.
I’m glad everybody came through okay. It looked like a wild night for sure. And not the kind that are fun.
Those night time storms suck.
ONFO glad you’re unscathed.
You had the preferred role during interesting weather: observer.
Y’all make an underground house sound more and more appealing to me.
All- Thanks! TXRed is exactly right… sigh… We had a total of 2.5 inches of rain last night, with more cells rolling through about every two hours. This morning they were talking about a ‘super cell’ passing over us.
Been having fun with that here too. I like standing on the porch, like a Mariner, and braving the elements 🙂
