The sun is out, of all things, in Ruston at this very moment. Is this the "calm before the storm"?

Yesterday was a relative bust. Today is set up to be a horrible day in the south.
Here is the overall outlook
Here are the tornado probabilities
We barely got missed by some big storms here, but just got some rain. Most reports say that it will clear out by 9am or so and be sunny this afternoon in Texas.
Yep, a little while ago, some thunder woke me up here in southeastern Baton Rouge. We JUST got put into a tornado watch. I hope this weather event isn't as epic as the weather folks are thinking it will be. I get particularly worried here in BR of course because I live on the top floor of my apartment building and the design doesn't look very tornado or strong storm resistant.... although it did look like nothing even happened after Gustav.
We REALLY should pray for our friends in northeastern LA and all of MS though!
