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.

That was a biblical storm. It touched down at Belton Lake, tore up a marina, skipped over our home and Belton before reforming near Salado and ripping through Jarrell. That one still burns in the memory banks.
