@YNM ERCOT has suspended rolling blackouts. So the odds of power failures have gone down, but, those who are without power as i type may not see relief for a few days yet according to what I read on one of my cities news outlets. This has been a total complete nightmare. I hope we never have to suffer like this in Texas again.

I'm not from the US but one of my distant relatives did move over to there for work with their family. Their water mains were burst in addition to the blackout although it has been fixed.

I think there isn't much other way around preparing for something similar come next year, though. And don't forget to prepare for a hot summer, with probably many hurricanes...

 

Here the capital city area is finally flooded, after the rest of the island and another major island. Thankfully my house isn't impacted, we normally see floods here every year.

Finally thru the worst of it... is this the disaster that finally wakes people up? Sadly I fear, this will soon all be forgotten and we'll just back to struggling with CoVid.

[YNM]

Welp, wouldn't thought we'd be host to two TCs at one time.

The result is obvious...

Thankfully I'm not in the affected area, but it's not a common occurrence. I think.

It is moving away though (as it's supposed to be for this time of the year).

that moment when a tornado touches down juuuuust to the east of your house (like well over a mile away but still) (i did have a entire river between my house and the tornado) (im talking about that one point in march this year where  this one part of the US decided to get slapped by many tornadoes)

A few years ago I had an EF1 touch down 5000 feet from my home. It was a wild night. Other than that my home has been hit by a few microbursts and straight line winds over the years. Not to mention the fact its seen more than its fair share of damaging hail. The joys of living on the southern end of Tornado Alley AND having 3 distinct weather types (coastal plains, prairies/great plains and mountains ((texas is fun lol))) all merging into one chaotic blender lol.

   Areas affected...The Apalachee Bay Coast

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 441...

   Valid 161636Z - 161830Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 441 continues.

   SUMMARY...Rain bands with embedded thunderstorms will continue to
   move northward into the Apalachee Bay coastal areas over the next
   1-2 hours. The threat for brief waterspouts and/or tornadoes should
   correspondingly increase through the early afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...Tropical storm Fred continues to gradually shift
   northward towards the FL panhandle. To the east of the center
   circulation, persistent rain bands continue to feature embedded
   thunderstorms thanks to a combination of low-level confluence over
   Apalachee Bay and warm theta-e advection off the FL peninsula. VWP
   observations from KTLH have shown strengthening flow in the lowest
   1-2 km over the past hour as Fred's stronger wind field shifts
   north. Consequently, low-level helicity has increased and is
   supporting weak rotation in thunderstorms within the rain bands.
   Recent RAP analyses support this trend and show favorable ESRH
   beginning to overspread much of the Apalachee Bay coastal areas. As
   a result, the potential for brief waterspouts and tornadoes is
   expected to increase along the coast over the next few hours as the
   rain bands begin to move onshore.

   Valid 161630Z - 171200Z

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF GULF
   COAST REGION...AND PARTS OF ARIZONA...

   CORRECTED FOR THUNDERSTORM LINES

   ...SUMMARY...
   There is a threat for a few tornadoes across the Florida Panhandle
   into southeast Alabama and southwest Georgia today.  Other storms
   may produce isolated severe wind gusts and some hail from parts of
   the central and southern High Plains, Southwest, and northern
   Rockies.

   ...FL/AL/GA...
   TS Fred will move ashore this afternoon/evening over the FL
   peninsula, with bands of convection affecting the region.  Local VAD
   profiles and model guidance show strong low-level shear profiles
   that are conditionally favorable for supercell structures and the
   risk of a few tornadoes.  The threat should slowly spread northward
   into parts of southeast AL and southwest GA later today.  Please
   refer to WW #441 and MCD #1532 for further details.

   ...AZ...
   Mostly clear skies are noted this morning over the mountains of
   northern/central AZ, where afternoon MLCAPE values over 2000 J/kg
   are expected.  This should lead to scattered thunderstorm
   development as a shortwave trough over UT tracks southward.  Models
   suggest that northerly mid-level winds will strengthen this
   afternoon around peak heating, helping to organize cold pools and
   propagate storms off the higher terrain into southern AZ.  Damaging
   winds will be possible with the stronger cores.  Given this
   scenario, have added a SLGT risk for parts of the region.

   ...MT...
   Strong heating is also occurring over the mountains of eastern ID
   and southwest MT.  This area is beneath relatively strong
   west-southwesterly mid-level winds.  Thunderstorms are expected to
   develop over the mountains this afternoon and develop eastward into
   central MT this evening.  A deeply mixed boundary-layer, coupled
   with sufficient CAPE for thunderstorms and strong winds aloft, will
   pose a risk of high-based storms capable of gusty/damaging winds
   this afternoon and evening.

Areas affected...Northern and Eastern Apalachee Bay Coast

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 441...

   Valid 161955Z - 162200Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 441 continues.

   SUMMARY...The highest tornado potential for the next 1-2 hours may
   reside over northern and eastern coastal areas of Apalachee Bay as
   weak thunderstorms move onshore in the coming hours.

   DISCUSSION...Tropical Storm Fred continues to move northward and has
   made landfall on the FL Panhandle per the latest updates from the
   NHC. To the north of the center of circulation, velocity data and
   VWP observations from KTLH, as well as recent RAP mesoanalysis,
   suggest low-level shear is maximized west of Tallahassee, FL owing
   to a maxima in Fred's wind field. However, persistent stratiform
   rain has reduced near-surface theta-e values as temperatures
   struggle to warm above the mid 70s, resulting in a minimum in
   MLCAPE. Subsequently, storms away from Fred's center moving into
   this region have shown weakening trends. Given the strongly sheared
   environment, a brief tornado remains possible, but the probability
   for a robust tornado threat seems reduced. 

   Further to the east, low-level trajectories from north/central FL
   are advecting higher theta-e air into Fred's eastern rain bands.
   This higher-quality air mass is denoted by MLCAPE values exceeding
   1000 J/kg in recent analyses, and should continue to support storm
   development over the next few hours. Deepening convection is noted
   within a developing band that will likely move towards the northern
   and eastern Apalachee Bay coast over the coming hours. Although
   low-level shear diminishes with eastern extent, there should be a
   sufficient overlap of favorable low-level SRH and instability to
   maintain a tornado threat for at least the next 1-2 hours for the
   north/eastern coastal areas of the bay.

Mesoscale Discussion 1543
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0722 AM CDT Tue Aug 17 2021

   Areas affected...Parts of northeast and east central Georgia into
   western South Carolina

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 443...

   Valid 171222Z - 171415Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 443 continues.

   SUMMARY...The development of isolated supercell structures with the
   potential to produce short-lived tornadoes remains possible to the
   northeast of the weakening remnants of Fred.  This may gradually
   spread across the remainder of northeastern Georgia into Upstate
   South Carolina by 10 am-12 pm EDT.  Trends are being monitored for
   the possibility of a new watch, but it is also possible that the
   threat may become marginal and/or isolated enough that a new watch
   may not be needed.

   DISCUSSION...More substantive central pressure rises have been
   occurring the past few hours as Fred migrates northward.  A
   corresponding weakening of low-level wind fields has also been
   observed, and these trends are likely to continue as the depression
   progresses north-northeast of the Auburn, AL vicinity, toward the
   Greater Atlanta metro through 14-16Z.  

   Mid-level subsidence warming nosing northeastward around the
   southern through eastern periphery of the circulation aloft is
   contributing to diminishing convective potential across the Warner
   Robins/Macon vicinity into the Greater Atlanta area, and this is
   forecast to continue spreading toward the Savannah River through mid
   to late morning.  This also corresponds with a weak surface wind
   shift, and the onset more unidirectional shear in the near surface
   layer.

   Ahead of the wind shift, strongest mid/upper forcing for ascent,
   low-level convergence and largest clockwise-curved low-level
   hodographs will generally be focused in an area overspreading
   northeastern Georgia into Upstate South Carolina through 14-16Z. 
   Although wind fields are gradually weakening, southerly 850 mb flow
   on the order of 30+ kt may still contribute to sufficiently large
   low-level hodographs to maintain at least some risk for the
   development of supercell structures with the potential to produce 
   tornadoes.  This probably will be aided by at least some further
   increase of surface dew points through the lower to mid 70s F across
   parts of the Piedmont.
