WTF is with the rain?

[Watchdog]

I thought there were water restrictions and shit? It has rained over 12" since I have lived here for 2 weeks. Seriously, it rains like every 3 days, WTF?

We've been waiting 200 years for you to move here. What took you and your ancestors so long?

You will miss it in a month. Be happy to get the rain now.

3rd generation born in New England, that is why. I was only there as a kid, my family moved to AZ when I was 12. All the rest of the family (cousins, aunts, uncles etc) still all live in New England, specifically MA and NH. People there just really don't leave. Me, I could never live there again.

Also, PM me for my address and you can send a box of ammo as thanks. 300BLK is the current preference, but 308, 556, or 9mm is good too.

No I get it, just comical. Everyone tells me about the drought, no rain, etc., and all is does it rain when I get here. I don't mind it, I actually like it personally. Mud sucks, but rain and thunderstorms I can live with.

Feel lucky that your lakes are 25% full. Ours up here are at 1%.

We are 6.85" above our average rainfall to date for the year, but if you've been out to Medina Lake anytime int he past year, you will see we need a helluva lot more than that to get levels back up to where they should be...

Are you accepting bids to relocate elsewhere? We could use a rainmaker to move to the Marble Falls area to help with Lake Travis. It has to be 50' low

i remember when i was 13 (15 years ago) we would go cliff diving and tubing on medina lake, hell, thats where i broke my arm (tubing). now its almost medina pond

Medina lake is only about 5% full and in the last 2 weeks it has actually gone down rather than go up.

Ask the boat guys about all the busted props from hitting underwater trees. Was talking with a guy about it this morning.

Its crazy how much the lakes have dropped in the last ten years. Lake Tawakoni used to be DEEP and the marinas are all sitting on the lake bottom now. Welcome to the future desert. What rain we get now just gets soaked up by the ground and never makes it to the freaking lake anyways. And anyone notice how the summers are stretching further into our winters and vice versa. Eventually it'll be sweaters in July and the kids will be opening presents at the lake on Christmas. The calender will need to be readjusted to fit the seasons before too long lmao

The only natural lake in Texas is Caddo. The rest are man made. In addition to the lack of rain there is increased demand for water from transplants coming from other states and insurgents from the south.

Better to have a busted prop than a busted lower unit.
