Got 0.01". This is how I'm walking around now...

I just got yelled at by my stepdaughter because I stepped outside and shouted "holy shit it's raining!"  near her kid.  Sorry, not sorry.  

#1665

Nada up here in NW Travis, but it's cloudy and 95 instead of sunny and 105 so that's still a win in my book.

Great to see the oil puddles become slippery again. 

I don’t want to even think about what’s floating down Shoal Creek right now.

Got enough rain to get the ground wet. Now the humidity has kicked back in and I swear I can see mosquitoes spontaneously generating in mid-air.

Fuck.

I worked outside for an hour afterwards, then the heat/humidity sent me back inside

The smell of wet pavement in front and then the smell of wet grass in back.  I tried snorting a line of each but neighbors looked at me funny.  

We had three distinct "rains."  One at about 3:45p.  One at about 4:00p (weakest of the three but marked), and one final one at about 4:45p (most robust).  

Each lasted about 5-7 minutes.  That's what she said.

1.5 inches on my rain gauge. North San Antonio.

Pics aren't showing. 

#1683

Don’t know the totals but we had good rainfall in NE San Antonio from a large cell around 3:30. Then another “outer band” hit us around 5:00.

Nothing like free water! My wife insists on watering “her” plants in both the front/back yard every day, by hose! I digress, but our damn water bill has gone up over 50% (over average) the last two months! She thinks the sprinklers only cover the lawn? Tough battle every summertime week, the last couple of years.

Hook’em!!!

One of the lucky few who got over an inch. The trees and other plants are immediately perked up and responding to the water.

#1686

half inch in SM, which is pretty good considering it only rained about 10 minutes.

I thought we got nothing in 78717 next to Round Rock, but when I went outside to put Mrs. Brat’s Accord in the garage it was covered by raindrops.
Weird looking, but the driveway, street, & lawns were as dry as the butt-rape the Horns gave the land thieves last October.

Those were not raindrops.

Haven’t worn one of those since the 1970s.

We have a couple of crappy rain barrels... one of them has an overflow spout so that when it is full, the water will shoot out the top from the spout.  Its a sad day when I'm out there harvesting that nasty water with 5 gallon buckets so I can use it for watering plants.  And yet, here we are.  Thanks, drought.

In the midst of the record-tying hottest day in the history of Houston, some crazy storms popped up around Kingwood about 90 minutes ago and headed SW towards town. Unfortunately, they went just north of my hood. Got a couple of mocking sprinkles and that was it.

Future track making it look like we may get a 2nd more widespread round later this evening. Fingers crossed, but I ain't optimistic.

Not sure how old you are but if you’re in your 70’s that means you were wearing jumpsuits in your twenties. What a nerd you must have been.

Same here.  I went outside and could hear big fat raindrops hitting the gutters.  It freaked me out at first.  We got enough so that I could smell it, but the concrete was dry in about 2 minutes.
