Wacky Weather in Kyle TX! | Clouds Of Doom | Agent Aaron @ 512-845-4204 | Austin TX MLS

You know what they say ... if you don't like the weather in Central Texas,
just wait a few minutes and it will change!

Never were those words more true than this past Thursday in the late morning
and early afternoon. I was out in the field with clients, and
my wife Sherry and daughter Isabella were at home.

The day began innocently enough. It has been extremely muggy the past couple
of weeks in Kyle TX, after we had a really terrific stretch of about 3 weeks of absolutely
perfect weather — temperatures in the high 70s, sunny and clear skies,
humidity that rarely surpassed 25 percent (and hit lows of 12 percent a few days)!

Well, fast forward to May, and it was almost like Mother Nature flipped a switch
and decided to drive me a little insane (OK, it wasn't a long drive ... hardie-har-har).
The mugginess has been getting worse by the day, and we have been getting severe
weather warnings so long now we've become immune to them. And that was a big mistake!

I was in nearby San Marcos TX, while my wife was here in Kyle TX taking these photos
and freaking out! I called to check in to see if she was having the same crazy clouds
and downpours as we were, and she said yes. I casually mentioned to her
that somebody had just told me that there might be a small tornado coming.

I got a text about 5 minutes later telling me she cleared out the closet
shelves preparing for the worst-case scenario. I chuckled. =)

When I got home a few hours later, she told me that Kyle did get a small tornado!
Thankfully for us, it was closer to downtown ... and nobody was hurt, nor was there
serious property damage. Whew! That was too close for comfort for everybody.
You think that by now I would trust my wife's instincts ALL the time! =)

Hi Aaron, we had the same sort of heavy clousds duing our recent rain event but...only got an inch of rain. Actually I was happy to get that without all the hail and wind that showed up in other areas!

Hi Aaron, we got some hail and rain in San Antonio, but nothing like that small tornado in Kyle.  I have glad everyone in your family was safe and no one got hurt, and there were no damages to your property.

Ditto to Jerry's comment above.  It did get ominously dark here in San Antonio too!  Pretty freaky, but it passed as usual.  Glad the tornado didn't cause any damage Aaron!
