Anyone else gauge the likelihood of near term future rain by the emergence of mushrooms? Yep. Those mushrooms have a funny taste, and make you yak in about 4 minutes. CHIEF

A buddy swears he has never found a boletus he couldn’t stomach, but he is braver than I. I have the opinion that when the shrooms bloom, en masse, the rainy season is done for the time being.

Surprised I only lost one window. Several reporting downed fences. You do windows @ROFL BOX? Yes, I have people for that. I'm maybe 45 minutes from that end of S.M. With that type of damage, it is probable you also have shingle roof issues.

May 10, 20241 yr Thank you forcefield. Even though the storm missed us, they cancelled all the games in my son's baseball league last night. With the storm that's predicted to come through on Sunday, I'm beginning to think the season won't end until mid-June.
May 10, 20241 yr We got a bunch of the wind but none of the rain in NB. But I'll take this one since we also avoided the hail and tornado.
May 10, 20241 yr Storm just missed my cars that were in a parking lot of one of the dripping springs middle schools. Any further west and both would have been trashed
May 10, 20241 yr The next 2 weeks are supposed to be really bad with rain, especially in parts east of I35
May 10, 20241 yr The totals are trending upwards for the Highlad Lakes. If we get another 5 or 6 inches of rain around San Saba, Lake Buchanan will be in great shape for the summer. Edited May 10, 20241 yr by Hate
May 10, 20241 yr fuck yeah, fuck drought. Hail was unfortunate. We barely dodged it out here on the border of hays/travis between bee cave and dripping.
May 10, 20241 yr Fashion myself somewhat of a weather nerd. But something I never heard in PHD's summer camps was hail and DVDs used in the same sentence. Da hell? https://www.kxan.com/weather/severe-weather-brings-baseball-size-hail-in-central-texas/

May 10, 20241 yr Way to use a relatable object to describe hail. "There have been reports in Lampasas of Mego Toy 2XL sized hailstones"

Neighbors on one side had a dead pecan tree fall (I had hinted several times that they should take it down) and took out part of our fence. Neighbor on the other side had a tree branch go through her dining room window. We actually just spent $2500 3 days ago to take down a 100+ yo oak tree that recently died. So everything turned out OK for us. Glad we missed it. Edited May 10, 20241 yr by Beau Vine

The yard looks like shit with tree shrapnel everywhere.Husband was smart enough to put the truck in a car wash bay. No damage.I can’t believe we didn’t lose any windows or a skylight. We got lucky. I picked up 2-3 baseball sized hail pieces in our yard. That shit sounded like Armageddon when it hit. It looked like a tornado was next, but got lucky there too.Probably won’t be lucky with the roof but we’ll see.

That shit sounded like Armageddon when it hit. It looked like a tornado was next, but got lucky there too. Probably won’t be lucky with the roof but we’ll see. I always worry about these bad hail storms since our living area has a lot of big windows that look prime for the taking. They're somewhat shielded by a live oak which I guess sort of helps but still. We also have one of those sun tube things which I imagine can get damaged just like a skylight. Had family in Driftwood last night when the storm was moving that way - was very uncomfortable having them there but thankfully it swung just west of them.
May 11, 20241 yr Popular Post My cousin and her husband and kiddos live in Johnson City. They are definitely getting a new roof/gutters. This is from the other night:

May 12, 20241 yr Month of May to date: the Lake Buchanan basin has gotten the most rain in the area, which I suppose is just about optimal.

May 12, 20241 yr Latest from noaa.gov. may 9 2024. La Niña may develop in June-August (49% chance) or July-September (69% chance; [Fig. 7]). Hold on a little more el nino. Do not want the high pressure la nina domes this summer.
May 12, 20241 yr We got hit for another 2-3+ inches in most of the are here. Some serious, torrential downpours that would last 15 minutes then off for 30 then downpour again. Everything around here is soaking wet. I tried to put some topsoil and overseed my back yard with Bermuda about 10 days ago. Pretty sure lost of the seed is in my neighbors yard now.
