Much ado about - pretty much nothing

Tuesday’s storm threat fizzled into a non-event, with just one tornado and two strong wind events reported - all of them in Texas. The tornado was reported in eastern Texas, where it struck a few trees.

Greg Carbin, warning coordination meteorologist with the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., sent this photo of a pileus cloud he shot near Norman Tuesday night. These distinctive clouds form when a layer of humid air is thrust upward rapidly by the conditions that form thunderstorms.
