Is it on the ground or just funnel clouds spotted? It's raining pretty hard right now, but no wind

It is appearing on the radar. Deputies have been trying to spot it since the radar picked it up outside of Taft.

It is also moving fast at about 33mph.

Any more news? Let's hope there is no damage.

The news guys aren't even reporting anything at the moment. All the soaps are on the local networks. :mad:

Channel 3 at least has radar up. That cell is moving fast and appears to be north of my house. {fingers crossed}

Prayers to the people of Sinton, Tornadoes are no fun.

Tornado Warning extended until 1:15 now.

[piratebg]

Good news. The funnel cloud has gone back up. Warning still in effect until 1:15.

Okay Sinton posters, there is a little break in the rain coming up until the next round of storms roll through.

[injuredinmelee]

feel free to send some of the rain this way.

You can keep it, I think the storm surge is probably going to put me out of a job. After the storm passes, we will have no parking lot left and the ramp/pier may be destroyed down at SLPFP.
