Just looking back at the radar data, a surging rear flank downdraft (RFD) from a supercell punched right through downtown Houston with (beam height) 110+ mph winds. Doesn't look like a tornadic signature though. https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/lsrmap.html?zoom=8&lat=29.18&lon=-94.9&hr=72&severe=1&winter=1&flooding=1&tropical=1&other=1 https://x.com/rawsalerts/status/1791272465932718163

Shifty Pony posted:there's a decent rundown here: https://spacecityweather.com/houston-what-the-heck-happened-on-thursday/ Yep, agree with that. I'm guessing NWS Houston will find some brief tornado path as the RFD was wrapping in, but any tornado that was there would have gotten blown out pretty quick.

smoobles posted:I think if we try really hard we can have hundred year events a hundred times a year Over what size area? A "hundred year event" means a 1% chance any year for a given location. If you broaden out to a state, country, continent, world, you're going to observe a lot more every year. Observation bias is absolutely an issue with historical records when it comes to trends. We've had operational weather satellites for just 50 years, with the quality of early generations pretty much trash by 2000 standards. The network of weather radars in the US has been around for 30 years and has improved itself in resolution during that time. People continue to congregate into increasingly vulnerable locations too, so that will impart a positive trend by itself (easier to observe Bad Things if there are more targets to destroy). It's a complicated situation for sure, I'm glad my research doesn't deal with these issues.

There's still calls for a Cat 6 storm category. Because everything is absolutely fine with the weather at the moment and there is no cause for alarm.

Why, cat5 is going to obliterate everything as it is. What does having another higher category do besides juice ratings (and maybe have unintended consequence that people take cat5 less seriously)?
