> Austin TX

Strange, in Dallas, where I grew up, we had severe thunderstorms every spring.

I suppose Austin is further south, on a plateau and hillier, and not really a part of the Great Plains?

I don't exactly have solid data on it, but from what I've seen the big thunderstorms of Dallas don't often get further South than like Waco. Even Dallas seems to miss a lot of the big storm fronts or only get hit by the tail of them.
