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.

Nice work.

The rain/lighting trapped me at a bar for a few extra hours (I was on foot) so I too got hammered last night.

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. 

And some people were worried that Travis wouldnt benefit from all this rain.

I hope Tree was there to keep you company.

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.

That storm is moving slowly right down the river. It’s really just perfectly spotted.

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.

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.

 

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.

Tomball with 11 inches in the past 24 hrs

We got another  2+ inches from the storm that hit right around 12:00-1:45am last night.   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.

but enough about your wife

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?

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?

Fortunately we are about to

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.

Most of East Texas has been getting destroyed over the past 2-3 months. Trinity/Onalaska area had real bad flooding, prompting rescues, last weekend

I'm pretty sure Lake Conroe is a constant-level lake, so any excess has to go downstream.

It’s crazy that the storms are way off to the west and I’ve been hearing thunder for the past hour.

I'll be honest.....I'm not up to speed on the latest meteorological lingo,  but that sounds serious.

Llano near Junction got to flood stage and had flows in at 20,000+

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

don't worry, floods were never covered anyway

But the drought-fueled wildfires are. Well, they WERE, until insurance cos started non-renewing people living in the hills (true story, see Long Canyon).
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?

Also Medina Lake watershed (NW of San Antonio). The headwaters of the Medina River are pretty much dead center of the extreme drought blob.
