May 2, 20241 yr Waiting for the kids to finish up extracurricular activities near 35 & 183. Just sitting in my truck through a torrential downpour, now getting pelted with hail. Awesome…

May 2, 20241 yr Sorry @NorthLoop I think we got fucked again. I knew as soon as the flood watch went up we had no shot. Very beneficial rainfall in Kendall and Blanco Co- hopefully helps out the lakes some.

Strong shields up south of Austin these days. It’s almost fascinating to watch because you know it’s coming- if it weren’t so damn frustrating. Edited May 2, 20241 yr by Wilcox Cummingtonite

Should we sacrifice a Bobcat Virgin? Oh wait....
May 2, 20241 yr Strong line building out west. Bow echo looks to hit Austin possibly. Could be some high winds later tonight. Edited May 2, 20241 yr by Wilcox Cummingtonite
May 2, 20241 yr 16 minutes ago, Blotto said: Saw this linked on Reddit. Now THAT is a wonderful sight. It's exactly what we need to see to fill up the lakes. (Sorry about your campers.)
May 2, 20241 yr The line west of Austin seems to be shrinking and tracking more to the north. Guess I should be happy with what I got earlier tonight, but was hoping for an even bigger dump into the lakes.

May 2, 20241 yr Any rain is better than no rain, but these stream flows need to be up in the multiple thousands, to make a dent in the lakes. Now, if we could get two solid weeks of this, we'd be talking.

May 2, 20241 yr Nothing like getting not one, but two alerts in the middle of the night for flash flood watches, only to find 0.0 in the rain gauge in the morning.

May 2, 20241 yr Did any parts of Austin get significant rain overnight? The nearest LCRA gauge shows 0.11 inches for us in the last 12 hours, most of it just before sunrise. Our neighbor has a big tree down. I don't know if it was wind, lightning, or just normal age/disease. I slept through everything.
May 2, 20241 yr https://hydromet.lcra.org/Reports/RainfallCoa North parts of the city got way more than the south.
May 2, 20241 yr Buddy of mine's house got struck by lightning. Probably a total loss. 12k+ sq ft right on the Brazos. My other buddy who has his HO insurance gonna have a big check to cut. Ouch.

Beautiful, beautiful home that they just got done remodeling about 18 months ago. Absolutely sucks. But they're all safe, which is the most important thing.

May 2, 20241 yr Happy for those of you that got rain and yeah, nice amount for the lakes. But it is so damn frustrating today. Watching light rain developing just to the east of I35 in Hays. I am talking 1 mile from my house and not getting any at all.
May 2, 20241 yr White oak starting to spill its bank at Houston st. Definitely the fullest ive seen the bayou in almost 4 years New caney has gotten almost 8 inches in the last 14 hours Edited May 2, 20241 yr by GreenspointTexas
May 2, 20241 yr We were at the McCallum Performing Arts Center for the Lamar Middle School band concert when the shit really hit the fan last night. Getting a bunch of grandparents and kids with musical instruments back to vehicles in a torrential downpour was less than pleasant. I felt really sorry for the old folks on blood thinners. They were freezing, and almost nobody dodged getting soaked. Umbrellas were damn near useless. Happy for the rain, though.
