ZR-1 brothers in the danger zone this weekend
 
Hog,
That is something you wish no one to go thru.

I'm heading out to go to Ozona then tomorrow I'll be taking the wife to some school event in Levelland then back to Ozona. Gonna be a travelin day for sure and hopefully I won't be dodging funnels.

Be safe out there, Carter

For those of you in "tornadoland" - I have an app on my phone called "PYKL3". It is a stormchaser radar app for android. Costs $9.99 one time fee - but it can pinpoint down to your location via GPS - and it puts icons up that show where there is rotation, hail and what size, and storm tracks, distance, speed, and movement. I use it to tell me when to run for the basement. Our sirens go off when there is a tornado 30 miles away - so saves a lot of trouble and hassle to be able to look and see what is coming. Nothing is 100% foolproof - but this is the best I've seen. I am a NWS trained spotter as well.
Not sure if this deal will work in Canada though..as it works off the NWS radars..

I use Police Scanner 5-0 to listen to the chasers. it is free. You can chose your location and Where I live, I select WSNGU Denton County ARC Skywarn.

Not a cloud near me so guess the weatherman messed up again. I could use the rain but no funnels.........

We dodged the bullet here too,Carter. Got about a half inch of rain and a bunch of pea-sized hail on Sunday morning.
