Severe Weather Warnings for Texas Tonight

[Glockster69]

Front arrived at 10pm, just in time to knock out the satellite and the news.

Already 1-7/10". Zippo on the hail, I'm in the southern hemisphere of Texas

Getting any rain?

Fires out?

Zero rain. And zero in the forecast.
The fires are mostly contained and will probably be 100% contained by tomorrow since there will be less wind.
Just pray that the wind stays down at this point. No water in our future it appears

Doing the rain dance....grateful for whatever we get in south Texas

I dumped 5 inches out of my rain gauge from Friday. My grass is green! But now I have to mow.

I was in Taylor when it started coming down hard. Had to drive down 79 to Hutto through sheets of thick rain. It's usually 65 and I was only doing 45-50 the whole way home. Definitely nasty to drive in. Even had to call my roommate to open the garage door so I could come in that way and in the 3 seconds it took me to get in I get more than halfway soaked.

And yes my yard needs to be mowed now as well.

Been raining pretty steady here for a few hours, had thunder and lightning first followed by a little bit of hail and then just a good ol thunderstorm.

I'm in Killeen and it started hitting pretty close to back yard. A few strikes had no thunder delay

The lightning was going nuts on my drive. Was damn near day my whole drive. Was listening to AM radio too and was nifty getting to hear every bit of lightning activity for prolly 10 mile radius.

Rained very hard here. Knocked power out for 2 hours. I'll check the guage in the morning.

If I have water coming in my back door, I better see the US Navy out there ready to pull my ass out of the water!

Sorry bud, you're stateside now, That's a Coasties problem. 'Sides that, a Bee would would NEVER complain. Well not too much.

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

Coasties?!?! Ok. I'll just have to buy a few sandbags and wait it out. Lol

I got less than 1 tenth inch.

I got less than 1 tenth inch.

Sorry to hear that. We ended up with a bit over 4" after last night. That's a little more than we need at one time; but we'll take it!

 

[Glockster69]

@ 5" rain since it started. You can almost walk across the Trinity River there's so much doo doo floating by.

 

[shortround]

It was a good rain here -- set the all time record for the day.

Had to rake up all the detritus the rainfall caused.

For your part of the earth, that's epic on Noah-like proportions ...

True, sadly.
Seriously considering a move.

You could join the bazillion people a day moving to Austin Oddly, this is the greenest spring we've seen since arriving in '08 and folks visiting think it's always like this(even though we are still in an exceptional drought). What a difference from the brown parched landscape we've had since the last wet year of '07.

 

[Vaquero]

No to I-35.
Big NO to Austin.
