August 22, 20223 yr Still fucking raining. Some idiots went to the office today, boss said they are stuck downtown nowSounds like middle mgmt potential.

August 22, 20223 yr 27 minutes ago, Fudge Nuggets said: Knowing how to siphon through a hose is a valuable life skill to master. Yup. My last house was below a peak in central west Austin. Big rains would cause water to build up in my back yard against my house. First time, it happened overnight and I didn't know what was going on until I got up in the middle of the night and squished my way through to the pisser, because water had gotten into the house. ($18K of hardwood floor damage, holla.) From then on, I paid attention and would suck start a siphon down to the front yard whenever it got bad. I felt like a HS football cheerleader doing it, but hey. Eventually I put in a drain that controlled it all, but that first hit (Tropical Storm Hermine) was a bitch.

Yeah zero chance overflow was holding up against the heavy rain earlier but back down a couple of inches after the lighter stuff. And didn't want to test my deck drainage. But agreed with above I need to have a better game plan than a bucket next time Edited August 22, 20223 yr by Skipper

Just got an email from Lakewood superintendent. 10.6 inches from 7 pm yesterday until 1pm today. Course looks to have drained amazingly well considering. The captions are a bit wonky but you get the idea Edited August 22, 20223 yr by DDD Dad
August 22, 20223 yr On 8/21/2022 at 9:56 AM, FirstTimeCaller said: After receiving a total of *checks notes* 0.0" of rain in the last two days, I see the 7-day precip forecast now shows me on the edge of 0.25" to 0.75". So much for the fucking 4-6" they were saying. At least areas south should get beneficial rainfall... although at this pace, that will turn out to be a screw-up as well.

Technically, it ain't even 'posed ta start rainin' until later, but wife reported animals by 2's in N Austin (183/Riata area). And that one was earlier than expected. Radar is showing the main lines coming now. We'll see, I guess. Edited August 22, 20223 yr by phdhorn

August 22, 20223 yr I hope this preliminary shower over Austin ahead of the line doesn't stabilize things just enough for the main band to fizzle when it gets here
August 22, 20223 yr 27 minutes ago, FirstTimeCaller said: Oh shit. I just got 1.25" in about 20 minutes. Congratulations asshole. Still not a drop at my house since Friday morning.
August 22, 20223 yr Coming down at a good rate in the San Gabriel area of Georgetown. About 1.75" in the last thirty minutes or so and still going. BRING IT ON

August 22, 20223 yr Author Nice steady deluge going on in Brentwood. Lost power for a few minutes, but it's back on.
August 22, 20223 yr OK it's finally raining at my house in NW Travis. Pouring, actually. Looks like all of my bitching paid off...
August 22, 20223 yr Holy smokes. Just got an inch in about 5 minutes. 78733. Still coming down pretty good, but nothing like when it first hit
August 22, 20223 yr Thunder actually knocked a pic off the wall here in the 52. The poor dog is glued to me.
August 22, 20223 yr Well shit, looks like my grocery pick up is gonna have to wait a bit. It's the great deluge out there.
August 22, 20223 yr Author We got nothing like this to close out the summer in 2011. This is glorious.
August 22, 20223 yr Lol. In a rain hole. It should start pouring any moment, but literally a quarter-mile circle of dry around my house.

August 22, 20223 yr I am at almost 1hour 25 mind straight of being in the bright red section on KXAN's radar. I live just a smidge south and East of where 183 and mopac meet and its been solid red for the whole time... Got to have given South Austin's mom at least 2.5 inches by now.

I live 3.5 miles away as the crow flies. Had a huge downpour when we got lucky with the first shower to hit the area. Since then, nothing. It's showing dark green, on the border of yellow/red and it's not raining a drop.
