Then why is your mom wet?

Why is the sky blue? 

It's never going to rain again.

But South Austin's mom will remain forever wet.

 

 

Saturday showing 40% chance and then when you go into the details, it's less than .05" at like 6pm only.

Still raining might-moderate, but for the last 30 minutes we got hammered with rain in NW Houston. Got some pea size hail too.

  • 2 weeks later...

Welp, had a nice November and since then... hardly anything. 

0345hrs-CST, rain begins in Austin.  Supposed to last 12 hours, and only then should we seek medical attention.  

We really fucking need this.  We're not supposed to expect much from Dec-Feb, but this has been abnormally dry even by our standards.  Drive safe out there this morning...

Just awakened by a combo of scared 1 year old and a fucking hail storm at 4am.  

Hail at this temperature?  That's weird.  But then, nothing in 2023 seems to make sense right now.

In addition to today's soaking, >50% chance of rain every day from Saturday through next Thursday. Might put a little dent in the drought maps.

I'm seeing 30/20/20 on KXAN.

Thank god. I get so fucking tired of these 30-45 day stretches with zero rain. 

Couple of tornado warnings over Cypress and Sealy. Getting a little wild out east.

Houston.

Then why are you talking about making a dent in drought maps?

.75" in Austin. Previously had just 0.09" for the month.

It got really windy here for about 20 minutes but mostly just really heavy rain.

Hate, how much rain does it take for your street to flood like that?  Seems like you post pictures of that happening every time it rains. 

Nothing like that in 77079 but we did have a shelter in place at the elementary school.

This is the first time it’s rained this hard in a while. I think we’ve gotten about 4-5 inches of rain in the last 2 hours.

Edit: I just checked and we are up to about 6 inches of rain now. And we have. Even getting rain fairly regularly since the fall. Our soil isn’t dry here at all, so it doesn’t take a whole lot.

Edit #2: just dumped a little over 6.5 inches of rain out of the gauge.

Electrical power went off at 2:00 PM in 77382, The Woodlands.  Estimated time of restoration 10:00 PM.

It’s like a hurricane in 2nd ward Houston. It’s very bad conditions

Sounds like a legit one too, tds signature

It's about to pass through all those refineries in Deer Park.

Yea they’re using the fuck around and find out Oklahoma tornado verbiage.

Been seeing a bunch of pictures on Twatter of the rain in Houston.  WTF.

Meanwhile in Austin...

3 mins to Baytown if it doesn’t lift, really hauling ass

Ugh, given the refineries I'm going to say that is NOT good.

Maybe I should check what's going on back home but I think its been normal although I would love for it to be a gully washer

They’ve never issued the tornado emergency warning in Houston until now, came out in 2016

Half inch this morning on the west side of Round Rock.

Sun is shining right now.

Haven’t heard or seen anything else but bolverks pic, post em if you find em.

I haven't found anything too catastrophic, but here are a few tweets with some damage.

Just depends on where in town.  I got 0.4" total at my house in Northwest Travis, never anything more than a drizzle but it lasted many hours. 

That damage in Houston looks substantial, I wouldn't think that's EF1 type random winter storm.  Hope everyone's OK.

Can see the path it took from the traffic on Google maps.

Yeah, I shouldn't understate the severity; it's certainly catastrophic if it happens to you. Luckily, I'm mostly seeing roofs ripped off and downed trees, but it seems to have affected the Shell refinery to a point.

 

That was some crazy weather. Tornado missed refinery by hundred feet. Some damage .

Best rain in nearly 2 months in Hewitt. Got 1inch
