weird part is on more than one occasion (ie 2008 and 2010) and on the same EXACT day may 27th, this has happened again as far as the same storm track and super-cells (only saw wall cloud and rotation though as it passed overhead). that rare southwesterly propagation and mesocyclonic type storm. and the same path, right down I35 south. very freaky. radar was reminiscent of a backdoor front and associated squall line and the individual cells prompted a tornado warning as it faded past georgetown.
I think that the reason why this storm was so incredibly unusual was because it had first developed as a 'gravity wave' over Oklahoma and it appeared to stall in central Texas. I live not far from Jarrell and Cedar Park and I remember the reports of the storm moving a mere 13mph along the ground. People were confused and not really frightened at first because it looked like a wimp. But this wimp was spinning close to 200mph picking up mud and clay and turned into a monster.
It's hard to believe that this happened 13 years ago. I lived in Temple at the time. I remember that day; 4 huge supercells exploded across a frontal boundary and caught the meterologists off-guard. I remember hearing the sirens and thinking it must be a drill because the sky was still clear.
@michaelsmith2911 Ahhh really? i lived in temple 2 .....my sister was on a field trip near jarrel when it happened so she got to see the outside of it :/
This is very unusual, but it happened in Jarrell. Seeing a tornadic supercell tracking to the SSW. Many years ago, a tornado tracked to the west in an area somewhere in North Texas near Oklahoma. It was probably a land spout though. The eyewitnesses said the storm had no thunder or lightning in it. All they could hear was the rush of wind produced by the tornado.
@GOODY61 One thing I noticed is the storm seems to develop as if it were going to move like a ESE mover, but it ends up moving SSW, and it seems to keep redeveloping on a boundary that has some very strong lifting. The Kay county tornado I filmed in Oklahoma was very similar to this storm. The tornado was in an odd spot. It was moving SSE. It's more like the storm is moving sideways in this video of the Jarrell tornado, which would cause people to see it as if were at the front of the storm.
@Torn80cj Good points. Very unusual storm and something like this happening again would be interesting to watch on future storm chasing documentaries. Reed Timmer would freak out.

:36 Look at the contrast of winds moving toward and away from Radar. As strong as it gets if i am not mistaken.

@Torn80cj And wasn't the hook echo located at the leading edge of the cell during the first loop in this video.
