May 5, 20241 yr A question... Does getting a bunch of rain in the Lake Buchanan watershed do anything to help Lake Travis?

Buchanan has an enormous capacity and could pass water down to Lake Travis, while keeping Travis free to absorb Llano or Pedernales flooding. 4" bomb on Pecan Bayou - that's the sweet stuff.

Just saw that. Getting pounded right by the Colorado.
May 5, 20241 yr Guadalupe River Basin/Canyon Lake watching everywhere flooding in Texas for the last week.
May 5, 20241 yr that Pecan Bayou bomb (now 6") is now clocking 4600 cfs (and climbing) headed into the river.
May 5, 20241 yr Could be a 3-4 inch total just under OH Ivie and Pecan Bayou might clear 8 inches tonight. 10 an outside chance. That’s a fucking rain bomb. Too bad it’s not sitting over the Perd
May 5, 20241 yr Jim Spencer just said some area in Concho Co. (west of San Angelo) had 3 FEET of hail. Never heard of that.

Just went to go find something on that and got this from FB. Concho is east of San Angelo, btw, but whatevs. The town they mention is just south of Lake Ivie. https://www.facebook.com/NWSSanAngelo Some photos that a person posted. Click the link for video to see a giant pile of hail next to the road.. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1228425061477520&set=pcb.1228431311476895 Another posted this shot of the hail at Lake Ivie. @ROFL BOX Is that area too far for you?

May 5, 20241 yr Another posted this shot of the hail at Lake Ivie. [mention=1009]ROFL BOX[/mention] Is that area too far for you? I don't "storm chase", however I do travel if an opportunity comes up. We have done Houston, San Antonio, Frisco / McKinney / Amarillo / Lubbock... San Angelo wouldn't be an issue. (Apartments, Single Ply, metal, shingles). I guess I'm missing out by not cold calling & door knocking however I don't like being "that guy".
May 5, 20241 yr That was some of he loudest thunder I’ve heard in Austin in 20+ years (about 2 a.m. last night). All three of my kids slept through it.
May 5, 20241 yr Buchanan will get some upward movement from this. These are the kinds of streamflow numbers you need to see in the watershed to make a dent in the lake levels.
May 5, 20241 yr White Rock Creek along Greenville in Dallas hit 17 feet above normal overnight - only 3 feet off the record. Rowlett in Garland is high as well - not up to 2015 flood numbers, but still enough to mess up the hiking/MTB trails for weeks.

I slept through it, too. My son told me about it this morning. He said it was super close -- I went out to check for downed trees.

May 5, 20241 yr The current rain band in Houston is being continually refreshed with new rain staring around Columbus. It does look to be sparing areas north of Houston which is good for them in their recovery.

May 5, 20241 yr Goddammit, more coming in from Seguin and Victoria. Weve already had over 2 inches this AM in the heights
May 5, 20241 yr Holy shit. Wife and I got the kids off to various sleepovers last night and booked a room at the Four Seasons. Had no idea a storm came through until we got home. First time I’ve heard Barton Creek from my back yard in about 3 years. Love it!
