April 10, 20241 yr Raining like a double bladder cow in Nola with some street flooding. I also got an 80 mph wind advisory on my phone from some nearby thunderstorm

This was a pretty disappointing rainfall event in terms of coverage, location, and totals. We’ve got about 5-6 weeks to get some significant rain before the summer death ridge sets up and we start hoping for mid-summer tropical miracles. Not great, Bob. Canyon Lake especially is fuuuuucked the next 2 years.

April 10, 20241 yr saw something where we are supposed to have big time hurricanes this year. maybe houston will take one in the pooper but the outskirts make it up to the travis watershed.
April 10, 20241 yr Small tornado out near Katy, that Firestone had been there 40+ years https://www.fox26houston.com/news/harris-county-katy-storm-damage-firestone-collapses-sports-bar-s-mason-road.amp
April 10, 20241 yr If it hits anywhere near Houston, it won't come anywhere near Austin. They need to hit the Texas coast between Corpus and SPI to get to the Austin area.

The last 3 or 4 hurricanes which rolled through Texas haven't produced shit in the way of significant rain for the Hill Country. The bands lose energy this far inland.
April 10, 20241 yr It was an awesome light show looking towards Blanco / S of 290 when viewing from Drip. Lasted an easy +20 minutes & probably less than 2 seconds between hits. Probably could have driven home without headlights. Edited April 10, 20241 yr by ROFL BOX
April 10, 20241 yr If it hits anywhere near Houston, it won't come anywhere near Austin. They need to hit the Texas coast between Corpus and SPI to get to the Austin area. I'm not a fan of hurricanes (Sharpies tracking or not)... roo much destruction. If a tropical storm were to make it within range of Austin & knock around some roofs that were in the last 15% of the expected life span, THAT would be optimal except for the influx of chasers (& if a TS in this area, a huriricane would have gone through San Antonio & the majority of salesholes would go there). I don't want widespread damage... just gimme 2 additional houses per week. [emoji7]

April 10, 20241 yr For any of you that has roof damage, @ROFL BOX redid our roof last winter. He made it a lot easier to navigate the hell hole that is working with insurance companies and making sure they don't skimp on necessary repairs. Definitely recommend giving him a shot.

April 11, 20241 yr Not sure exactly what is up with La Niña but I like it. The surf all winter and spring has been excellent in Galveston and these northern that keep rolling through are giving us such awesome weather.

Every year for the past 8 years since Ike they’ve said here in Galveston we are gonna have a record hurricane year and we ain’t had shit really. Harvey barely counts because it hit so far south it just ended up lingering and pissing on Houston for 4 days strait flooding everything up there.

Same, @ROFL BOX redid a whole bunch of stuff for us from April 2023's hail storm- rebuilt a shed, painted siding, gutters, roof, etc etc. He knew where to look for damage the insurance company missed the first and second times, things I would have completely missed. If you hate this process as much as I do I'd highly recommend him, he makes it much easier.
April 11, 20241 yr Long-term forecasts have consistently called for rain in the 30-50% range on April 18. It's my wedding day. Fuck you, Alanis.
April 12, 20241 yr I'm out of town. How did things fare in the Cherry Creek area of South Austin? Got on the roof for Open Range Trail / 78749. Old 3 Tab in serious need of replacing - nary a ding. Doubt anyone else in the area got hit serious enough. We did a total chimney rebuild around 1 year ago; rotten Masonite was a mess. Cap + cricket & all the paint. Now... if anyone of yall has a house near Marble Falls or Horseshoe Bay, let's talk.
April 12, 20241 yr Son’s friend sent him this photo of what fell on his house west of Austin during the storm front. They destroyed his vehicles & roof, obviously.

April 13, 20241 yr The water table here in the East Texas boonies is literally at the top of the ground.Two months later and this is till accurate. Toledo Bend Dam currently has five gates open at a foot each. After this week’s 8”+ event all the standing water around the hood has this sheen that is seeping from the ground.

If it breaks into scales, instead of swirling, that is not petroleum.
April 13, 20241 yr My cousin was in town this week for several days after the eclipse. I let her borrow my old truck so she’d have a set of wheels. She spent much of the week at her half brother’s place in Allandale.She returned the truck this morning, mortified and apologized that it was out in the hail on Tuesday that hit their hood, and has dents all over it.We had a good laugh. It’s a 1999 beat up truck. The dents give it character. If it got a few more, it’d help its aerodynamics, like a golf ball. No glass broken, so all is good.

I still bring my 2004 4Runner with 220k miles in under the trees during hail. Mainly for the glass though. Paint and body are way done.

The headache for both is those cottage houses are being torn down & larger, updated houses are going in, homeowners in the smaller houses are uncertain about what to do if a damaged roof can hold out for even 2 years without a serious leak & they might end up selling. 🤔
April 16, 20241 yr Austin FF will chew this up and spit it out in no time. Except for Bee Cave, where it will flood.

April 16, 20241 yr So from Georgetown to Waco will flood. Austin will get a few sprinkles. San Marcos will flood. NB will get farted on, and not the wet kind. Sound about right, @Wilcox Cummingtonite?
