That's the storm I was watching. It looks like there are more developing right behind it in the first one of those is starting to spin.

Weather spotters confirm a tornado in Illinois, most likely a landspout given there is almost no rotation visible on radar.

San Antonio is now under a Tornado Warning.

Some fairly decent rotation on those cells W and SW of San Antonio

Remember, there is no basement in the Alamo.

This is helpful for those of us who don't know the area. Just severe T-storm warnings right now, but that's never good in a tornado watch.

Severe, record-setting storm is over, but rain chances aren’t

There is another upper low which will move into our area tomorrow and bring more rain late in the day and through Saturday.

A lot of supercells out there tonight, widely scattered across a large area. The last couple days have been rather more impressive than I expected.

NWS discussion areas I think.

Tornado Warning was dropped because the rotation broadened out but there is still a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, Look at that hail.

Debris ball?

SPC included a slight risk in their outlook this morning, and now they have removed it. Weird.

Here's video of the hail event in Norman, OK last night. I find this video particularly fascinating because of the ominous hail "roar". I don't recall ever hearing anything like that before.

I witnessed this in Huntsville last Saturday. I heard the low roar of what I thought was the gust front approaching but then the hail began to fall. It wasn’t this large but it was in large amounts. Pretty wild
