April 28, 20241 yr Thank goodness for my home battery... lost power in my home/subdivision for a bit. Keep the rain coming please! Edited April 28, 20241 yr by YChang
April 28, 20241 yr 1/2” rain and as a special bonus, it knocked out the last remaining oak pollen remnants lingering in the trees.

April 28, 20241 yr I got about an inch of rain this morning when the first line went through. Then got another 2 inches in the past two hours in the 78628.
April 28, 20241 yr Pouring in round rock. Trying to leave lunch but guess I’ll have to order another beer.

April 28, 20241 yr Just took my kid to his apartment on campus, holy smokes it was pouring. No complaints.

April 29, 20241 yr Im pretty sure east texas is no longer in a drought. They have got to be having one of their wettest years ever
April 29, 20241 yr We got what had to be around 3+ inches at our house (rain gauge broke the other day, so that's an estimate). Was steady and we got some good standing water and runoff - the kind of stuff that would have been great for the lakes. Seriously, we're missing the target by just 40-50 miles, every damned time. LT went up only 500 a.f. yesterday. That's nothing. Every drunk pissing off their boat over the weekend would make it go up that much. It's frustrating as hell to watch.
April 29, 20241 yr We had the whole family in the closet last night when that system that generated the Madisonville tornado above was heading right at us. It ended up skirting to the north of us but we still had 3.3 in the rain gauge this morning.

April 29, 20241 yr I sat and watched the storm roll in from our front porch in SW Austin. There were some legit strong bursts of wind.
April 29, 20241 yr The back yard tree was probably from water erosion in the little creek, plus wind. The tree on the street was wind, apparently, plus on the slope right next to the curb.

April 29, 20241 yr Just saw 95 on the forecast for 5/8. What the ever living fuck. Time to fire up the Blastfurnace 2024 thread.

April 30, 20241 yr At least some chance of rain in the forecast every day for the next 2 weeks. The Austin Forcefield is going to be doing some work.

Yeah, but that map shows the highest ("moderate") risk barely extending into Llano and Blanco counties. Could help Lake Travis, I suppose, if they actually get the heavy rain. I think the other Highland Lake watersheds are less likely to be soaked.
May 1, 20241 yr Probably just train right over Shoal Creek Saloon for a few hours. Its about that time I guess.
May 1, 20241 yr Flood watch always the kiss of death with these set ups. It’ll all be east and north of us I'm sure.
