May 2, 20241 yr We are near Anderson High. We got HAMMERED last night. About 1.6 inches in a very short time, super high winds....which knocked out power to our whole part of the hood. Around 1500 homes, we heard. We were without power from 7:45 pm to almost 1:00 am. Yay.

May 3, 20241 yr Kingwood got nailed this morning. All of the usual intersections and roads flooded out. Part of the sewer system in Kingwood High School backed up. Nice.

May 3, 20241 yr Some storms out near Brady making their way southeast. Won’t be a ton but might be one more round for the area west of Austin.

May 3, 20241 yr A bit of good news is that Buchanan has gone from about 44% full to 50% over the last 6 months. Slowly been creeping up.

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. That's nothing. Two summers ago when we were in a stretch of 50+ days without a drop of rain, I watched a huge rain cloud come towards our neighborhood, got within three houses of mine then veered 90 degrees on a dime. I didn't get a drop and other houses within eyesight had standing water in their lawns.

Absolutely crazy lightning involved in that storm. Damn near scary how much there was. Puts us at over 10 inches since Saturday. Lake Waco is actually 5 feet high right now.

May 3, 20241 yr I don't follow how Lakes Conroe or Livingston are managed but it seemed like both caused downstream flooding relatively quickly with this storm. Don't they normally start releasing water in advance of storms that are expected to dump heavy rain in the area?
May 3, 20241 yr There was an emergency call with Harris county last night. They are saying Livingston is dumping water at Harvey level flow rates. Did the Trinity get a bunch of rain upstream?
May 3, 20241 yr Fortunately we are about to 14 hours ago, Blotto said: And some people were worried that Travis wouldnt benefit from all this rain. Lulz 2.28 inches brah! (over the past 2 days)

Did the Trinity get a bunch of rain upstream? Rain bomb dumped right on the upper end of the lake - see all the flooding in Huntsville. That water is all going to go downstream, just like it always did. The floodgates pass through those floodwaters (at a lower peak rate than they were received, so they take the peak off the flow), but mother nature creates a river flood, you're going to get a river flood downstream, dam or no dam.

I'm pretty sure Lake Conroe is a constant-level lake, so any excess has to go downstream.
May 4, 20241 yr It’s crazy that the storms are way off to the west and I’ve been hearing thunder for the past hour.
May 4, 20241 yr Just now, troph said: South llano getting fucked like a super hot twink. Nice. Would watch again. Yup. At least 2" in the past hour and there's no quit in that cell

May 4, 20241 yr Reading these posts all I'm thinking is how bad my homeowners insurance is going to skyrocket again next year.

May 4, 20241 yr don't worry, floods were never covered anywayBut the drought-fueled wildfires are. Well, they WERE, until insurance cos started non-renewing people living in the hills (true story, see Long Canyon).
May 4, 20241 yr Drought monitor - LT watershed is the only place in Texas still in extreme drought. Except for the 75%+ portion of the dark red that's in the Guadalupe and San Antonio basin?
May 4, 20241 yr 7 hours ago, troph said: Drought monitor - LT watershed is the only place in Texas still in extreme drought. Also Medina Lake watershed (NW of San Antonio). The headwaters of the Medina River are pretty much dead center of the extreme drought blob.
May 4, 20241 yr Another day of clouds and humidity with zero rain down here. Maybe tonight? Not holding my breath though.
