It’s so sad.

Prayers to those who devastated by this. It’s hard to rebuild. I hope they find the strength to do this.

At least it hung a few flags before it left town.

Our local paper has been running stories on the F-5 Jarrell,TX tornado for it’s 10 yr anniversary (5.27.1997)

It ripped asphalt off roadways and completely removed houses including their concrete slabs, leaving nothing but, scarred earth. A total of 27 souls lost their lives that day including, entire families. I don’t need to pay some jerk who, is making money off of misery, a dime to see what I’ve seen with my own eyes.

Some of them looked a bit staged. Or perhaps exposure to the MSM has made me a bit cynical.

This site has some incredible photos also.

My wife and I were storm chasers the day of the Jarrell tornado. (amateur) We live in western Williamson county and drove to Georgetown to try and intercept. On our way back We stopped because the air was full of electricity with the most amazing lighting I've ever seen. We saw it reform, heading towards the Albertsons store in Ceder Park. Followed it west of CP towards Lake Travis. At that point it was twin tornadoes and the hail began to pelt our truck. The storm continued across the lake and cut a long path on the western side of the lake, taking another victim.

Needless to say, that was the last storm chase I'll ever convince my Wife to take and one that will be etched in our memories forever.
