May 29, 20214 yr Apparently all of NW Hills is out. All told, I think I’ve spent about two weeks without power the first five months of this year.

May 29, 20214 yr Looks like this storm hit the right spots for the lake thoughHydromet shows rookies numbers out west over the basins. The heavy totals are too far East.

May 29, 20214 yr i left the back door slightly open in case my dogs wanted to piss... I have a 3 foot roof overhang at that point... rain said fuck you and came another foot inside the door.
May 29, 20214 yr I was at the Hancock HEB when the shit came through. Couldn't see more than two rows of cars from the front doors. I was just heading home and was in shorts and tshirt, so I said fuck it and headed for my car. Some points in the parking lot had over ankle deep water and I was completely soaked before I got halfway to the car. That shit was impressive.

Sorry, but you chose poorly.

May 29, 20214 yr Stupid question amnesty: What are the odds that we're looking at a major flood event like water up to the SRV statue's face again?
May 29, 20214 yr Mine are pretty fearless. They just figured there must be birds and squirrels knocked out of the trees. Always seeing the positives.

May 29, 20214 yr Update: This was kinda not 'posed to happen (yet), but it did. One storm sailing W→E across the area made the typical right turn and barreled through Cedar Park, Steiner, NW Austin, and smack into downtown. That was the stormiest core. The rest was a good bumper but nothing severe. This was supposed to be the "1" of the "1-2 punch". The first batch was coming as it did from the N/NW. This was sorta supposed to fall apart before it got to us. But uh, maybe you noticed, it di'int. Next batch is coming more from the W/NW, 10 or later. This is the "2". But the atmosphere has been so worked over (stabilized) by this first punch I wouldn't expect severe. So far radar is "maybe." But if stuff gets here from the next wave, it'll be, I dunno, about the 10 p.m. - 1 a.m. range. Tomorrow is supposed to be decent, but first might be some showers to clean up. Later Saturday and Sunday look decent, but 30% chances of rain each day (again, it is Memorial Day, end of story). Memorial Day Monday was looking clean, but now increasing rain possible, esp. after noon. Chances are going up. Gee, really? On Memorial Day? Since when? Yeah, right. Best time to get drunk and almost drown in Lake Travis will be from Sat. noon thru Mon. noon. After that, don't come cryin' to me. More in the future if need be. Happy Memorial Day! Er, have a good Memorial Day.

May 29, 20214 yr Storms have been sliding west to east north of us but are slowly chiseling down toward Austin. Looks like they might get here a little earlier than forecast. Yes, I would say outdoor events around 6:00 or after are at risk now. I'll update later. I do think it'll get pretty stormy though around or after sunset. Williamson County under a severe thunderstorm watch, Travis and South/West are not (at least right now) Currently @ Hill Country Galleria, good rain coming down but not super heavy.Was solid on us all the way from SW of Drip to here.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
May 29, 20214 yr Dripping Springs High moved the graduation ceremony time (at the football stadium) tonight from 8:00 pm to 6:00 in an attempt to avoid the rain. We shall see. Should I wear my waders?Saw some pics just now, kids & family got wet anyhow.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
May 29, 20214 yr 30K no power in Austin, some 21-year-old dude apparently washed down Bull Creek near 360 bridge.
May 29, 20214 yr Tornado warning canceled in Bastrop county, still for Fayette county. Update: looks like they're going to cancel it in 5 minutes for Fayette. Edited May 29, 20214 yr by phdhorn
May 29, 20214 yr Unconfirmed but probably weak tornado going through Bastrop county.That might explain why the construction trailer flew across the road in front of me on 71.

May 29, 20214 yr Our phones just blew up with a flood warning (guess Shoal Creek is running high).Shoal is at 9.68 feet at 12th
May 29, 20214 yr KXAN better bring Uncle Jim back out of retirement for this. Although on second thought, he was filling in for David Suits on Tuesday and he predicted less than 10% chance of rain for today. So maybe the game has passed him by. Who knows. Turn my fahking power back on.
