[CubanMustGo]

she's just a little bitch right now..

Hope she stays that way, that way she just brings some badly needed rain to South Texas.

[mrsmaalox]

Yep we'd love some rain

[Cry Havoc]

She's organizing. Clusters around the eye are starting to fire and her core is wrapping up. I think she might make Cat 2 by landfall.

[TwAnKiEs]

Bring the rain!

[Anti.Hero]

oh noes, not RAAAIIINNNNN!!!!

[degenerate_gambler]

Bring the rain!



lots of it

[BacktoBasics]

People are going apeshit over here in Corpus

[T Park]

Bring on the rain so everyone can STFU about droughts.

[ashbeeigh]

It looks like the Houston area is going to get some of the feeder bands before us. First they take Scola and now they take Dolly. (j/k).

[1369]

The way the latest track looks I doubt we'll see much here in San Antonio.

Valley cotton farmers are hating life right about now.

[G-Nob]

Is this the storm that only works 9 to 5?

Where's the WeatherManny?

[Cry Havoc]

Dolly is now a hurricane. Thunderstorms are building heavily around her newly formed eye. I still think it will be around a Cat 2 at landfall. She's sucking in a lot of moisture and has excellent outflow.

[FromWayDowntown]

No, that one looks like this:


Nicely played, sir.

[MannyIsGod]

We'll get some rain tomorrow but don't expect anything spectacular. Most of that will stay well south.

Apparently, Harlingen's been without power for a majority of the day. Airport area has the worst flooding, says a journo on the ground there.

[mrsmaalox]

:dizzy

[Das Texan]

ya like the valley is prepared to handle flooding.


this is more rain than they get in a year probably.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

global warming alarmists are collectively drooling at this moment in time.

Why?

[MannyIsGod]

She keeps wobbling north. The farther north the low tracks the more rain we'll get. Tomorrow during the day should be fairly wet regardless.

Brownsville was without power since early Wednesday morning and it's still without power. Well, most of it is.

My parents, sister, and most friends are without power. Only one of my uncles has power.

That's more rain than they've gotten in years.

The Valley is not prepared for shit like that.

SAN ANTONIO -- A possible tornado believed to have spawned off from Tropical Storm Dolly touched down south of downtown Thursday morning.

Emergency crews told KSAT 12 News that numerous trees were down, a chimney collapsed and other damage in the 900 block of Steves.

The roof of a Whataburger restaurant suffered heavy damage.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

KSAT 12 News reporter Jessie Degollado reported that residents in the area were walking around "somewhat stunned" by what had happened.

A man told KSAT 12 News that he saw a "circular motion" in the air when the strong winds roared through the neighborhood.

A woman said she heard a roar when winds lifted her home.

San Antonio police set up a command post at a fire station on Steves Road.

Tornado warnings were issued for several counties east of San Antonio and a tornado watch was in effect for the San Antonio area until 6 p.m. Thursday.

In the meantime, residents and recovery teams began fanning out across South Texas on Thursday and cars crept along roads with darkened stoplights as the region got its first look at the destruction left by Hurricane Dolly.

After crashing ashore on South Padre Island, the storm ripped roofs from homes, flooded roads and downed power lines, but the Rio Grande levees officials had feared could breach held strong.

[MannyIsGod]

Supposedly a tornado righ tnext to me. I don't hear or see shit. Fuck it.

[MoSpur]

Where area is that Manny? I think I saw you at the H.E.B plus one time on Potranco and I live near there. Is that the area where that tonado is at?

[MannyIsGod]

LOL yeah.

[MoSpur]

Great

:depressed

[MannyIsGod]

These new radar tools they have to show sheer are sweet shit. You probably wouldn't be able to even see these tornados because they're so short lived and weak.

[MannyIsGod]

Great

:depressed

The chances of any of these tornados affecting you are super super small. They just don't do much at all.

[MannyIsGod]

We should have a pool on how long before the first idiot is rescued from a high water crossing though.

[MoSpur]

I am sure that will be on the way home tonight. Some guy or girl will be in a rush to get home and ignore the baracade and go around and get stuck.

[xtremesteven33]

im in a hospital so i dont care. bring the rain

[Viva Las Espuelas]

We'll get some rain tomorrow but don't expect anything spectacular. Most of that will stay well south.

:lmao :lmao

:lmao :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao :lmao

i think we should take away your dorothy.

Whats been spectacular? Half the county hasn't even seen rain. The other half is freaking out about non radar confirmed possible F-0 tornadoes.

[Ginofan]

I'm at work about 2miles from that whataburger that got it's roof ripped off, but we didn't see or hear shit except for the police and firetruck sirens.

NWS confirms Southside tornado



Officials have confirmed a small tornado uprooted at least a dozen trees, knocked over stop signs and damaged homes just south of downtown San Antonio.

At noon Thursday, National Weather Service officials were at the scene in the 900 block of Steves Avenue assessing the damage so that they could classify what authorities have termed a "high-wind event."

Mike Onofre was working in a shop on South Presa when he said he heard something like a “freight train coming through,” that shook the walls.

The weather event caused heavy damage on Steves Avenue between Roosevelt Avenue and South Presa Street. Residents described objects— pieces of trees and trampolines — flying through the air as the wind blast ripped through the neighborhood in about 10 seconds.

“I’ve never seen anything like this here,” said Jasmine Cortina. “It looked like the Wizard of Oz, but without the witch.”

Mike Lopez, a resident of the neighborhood, said he was walking in the area when a heavy rain began to fall about 9:30 a.m. He said he took shelter beneath a carport and started walking again as the rain subsided. But then he saw what looked like a tornado taking shape.

"I just saw a big ol' twirl, I just saw things flying all over the place," he said, adding he sought shelter in a nearby convenience store. "I made it just in time. If not, it probably would've took me. That's how strong it was."

The aftermath: Some houses suffered major roof damage; the streets were littered with trees, branches and debris. No injuries were reported.

“The walls started vibrating and before you knew it we were wondering what the hell is going on,” he said.

At a nearby Mexican restaurant, a front window was shattered and a large sign advertising shrimp was blown clean off the top of the building.

“We had to go to the kitchen for safety,” said Jesus Castillo, a cook at J. Anthony’s Seafood Café on South Presa.

City crews — equipped with bulldozers, street sweepers and garbage trucks — worked for about two hours to clear the streets of debirs. About 35 firefighters and 40 police units barricaded the neighborhood and went door-to-door checking for injuries.

Fire Chief Charles Hood said crews responded to the high wind event about 9:30 a.m. By 10:15 a.m., crews were raking small pieces of debris off the street. At 10:30, they broke out the chainsaws to chop-up large trees and long branches.

“Its a bit of an adventure,” said Sandra Derabertis, who is visiting from Long Island and showed up at the scene Thursday to take pictures. “The police and rescue I see is amazing. They’re doing a wonderful job.”

By noon, most of the debris was cleaned and street sweepers made final rounds up and down the block

I know one passed through Somerset/Von Ormy like two years ago when I was living there. I had never seen anything like it. The tress were bending like nothing. The neighbors trampoline flew to our yard and damaged my car. Our trampoline flew like 200ft to the neighbor behind us.
