This storm in Texas looks to have a great hook, but then you realize that the rotation is not where the hook is.

The sirens aren't for tornados anymore apparently. Just "general extreme weather."

They are almost always for tornados. They are used occasionally for straight line winds and heavy/large hail but not for just any severe storm.

True, but there's rotation tracking towards us. Hopefully it falls apart before getting here

If you’re lucky, that cell will stay south of you and you won’t see a drop. The little we saw formed really quickly and got real fast.

Your cell is tracking straight toward our home on Cedar Creek Lake after it passes you. Hope you stay safe and it starts to weaken.
