If I could only hit PowerBall with this luck...
All evening, I wait & I wait - nothing. "Just about midnite", the skylites sound like a tribal drum chorus but it only drops 0.11" total and is over in minutes. Lots of lightning to my NE over the mountains and White Sands. El Paso was hit with rain/hail/wind too. Me? nothing to speak of.
I check the RADARs and it looked like it really picked up as it passed Cloudcroft on its way towards you, Chris!
Yeah this morning we got the raw guts of it, which is now into Kansas and extreme north Texas panhandle. As far as I can see on radars across the region (Cannon AFB, Midland-Odessa, Lubbock, Amarillo, Dodge City and Vance AFB), we're the only one NOT seeing severe weather despite SPC predictions. Ah well, it happens. Kind of wish I was in the south Texas panhandle right now...tornado warned storm going on.
Everything stops and starts really slowly on my MacBook (even if it is just ONE radar site open). I think I blame Java Script. This MacBook is faster than my Windows 7 Toshiba at home (which I stupidly left behind- I need radar software!) but it gets glitchy with
Java script. Now I know why there isn't radar software for Mac.
Scratch that, it was Flash. I thought NWS radar sites used Java script to animate the radars and update them?
EDIT:
Well I updated Flash. Opened up the radar sites in Safari instead of Chrome. Things run much smoother.
