Ted's working on a Cancun home for term limited US Senators and needs to talk to some real estate tycoons.

Drove through an area where the tornado hit in Houston the other week. I had never seen  tornado damage in person before and I was amazed that a tornado that is a 2 out of 5 could treat structural steel like wet noodles.

None of the weather nerds/storm chasers I follow on social media have said anything about tornadoes in Texas today. Arkansas and Louisiana seem more likely.

I'm in Louisiana, waiting. I hate the waiting. After living through hurricanes Laura (and the tornado that skimmed us) and Delta (with the flooding), bad weather makes me anxious now. I have become my grandmother. 🤦🏻‍♀

Ted trained Chip Roy.  Roy doesn't leave town.  An inner Beltway native, he just never shows up in Texas, claims to be hard at work in DC.

Total snow accumulations of up to 9 inches are possible, and wind gusts could reach up to 30 mph.

Ted only takes his family to Cancun when a daughter needs an abortion.

My current Texas weather problem is that I have pooling water in my yard and it's too wet to clear my French drains.

Maybe the Gov of Texas can do something good, and send a few planeloads of snow to Arizona.

Ive been witness to many many tornadoes in my life. From f0 to f5. It still amazes me some of the things you will see. A 1.25 mile wide tornado came through my community in 2011 and took my uncles semi trailer. We found it crumpled up over 2 miles away. It cross the road he lived on and swept away all the houses and left nothing but foundation. Then it took a path that left all the trees from saplings to 100 yr old oaks 2 men couldnt reach around together and just sheered them about 10ft high like a giant weed eater. My friends house was completely gone and a month later people contacted them when they found papers pics etc from their home in the woods behind their house.....over 80 miles away

During Ike, 2 of our warehouse bay doors were ripped off and we found them about 2 miles away on the side of the freeway in a crumpled mess. Fun stuff.

After hurricane Ivan I was working in Gulf Breeze and saw a house that was stripped to the foundation and in a pile across the street. The basketball goal in the driveway was untouched and still had the net attached to the rim.

Flying semi trucks during the April 2012 tornado here in Dallas... like, literally whirling in the air.

Hmm.  I'll be in Cancun next week.  I'll keep and eye out for Ted.  He's got a cockpunch or two coming to him...
