The redder the severer. Possible evening/nighttime tornadoes (CAPE at 2500-3000 J/kg with steep helicity at 1 km), hail, strong wind and flooding warnings were issued as well. It's been heating up for the last five days, and now we're influenced by a low-pressure front from over Germany. This will definitely test all the waterproofing I set, for sure.

EDIT: I'm fine, don't think there even was a storm here until 03:00 and most of it zipped past West from me. There's going to be more of it today, gonna wait for forecast and situation to develop.

There's a big triathlon in Allgäu Sunday, and one of the competitors mentioned hoping the weather would be ok. Is this the start of some bad weather? Hope you and everyone else stays safe.

Pretty much. Central and Eastern Europe gets its worst storms from late June/early July up until early September. Yesterday there were terrible-looking-on-radar storms over SE Germany, so that definitely checks out.

As said in the post above, I'm very realistic about severe weather dangers and did my utmost to prepare. This house is solid, and I moved to the already live-in ready basement to cope with the heat anyway, so I'm in-shelter pretty much 24/7. Still, much appreciated concern! Thank you.
