September 4, 20241 yr Just drove through a solid block of heavy rain from San Marcos to Blanco. If the Little Blanco River @ 32 isn't filled after years of being dry I'll be surprised.
September 4, 20241 yr Been pouring on and off for the past 2 hours at Horseshoe Bay and more is coming. This water has to go somewhere.

September 4, 20241 yr It's been "raining" in 78749 for 5 hours and my pool level has dropped at least 1".

September 25, 20241 yr All you fuckers should pay me to look after your dogs. Whenever I get more than three extra here, it's guaranteed to rain.
September 25, 20241 yr praises go up and blessings come down, looks like about .7 inches at my place near I35/Braker
September 25, 20241 yr Yeah that was a weird, very localized storm. The vast majority of Greater Austin got nothing, but Lanier High School seems to have taken the length at 2.24".

Places around Lorena got like 4.5" in an hour along with hail and crazy winds. Buddy of mine's place was absolutely wrecked in about 40 minutes yesterday afternoon. Trees down, water coming into their house...crazy shit.

October 7, 20241 yr Cities often get more rain than neighboring areas, UT study finds. But not Austin. Link to actual study Most Cities Receive More Rainfall Than Surrounding Rural Areas, Global Study Shows
October 18, 20241 yr Yep, guess so. weather forecasters will continue to tease us with 40% chances about 9-10 days out. According to one of the mayoral candidates in Hays County, its cool, we have plenty of water.

October 18, 20241 yr About .2” in the rain gauge. Wouldn’t normally count that as anything, but today was our watering day so it’s a nice little bonus!

October 21, 20241 yr San Marcos River running at just over 50%. This is not good right? I mean we all know how important it is for washing downstream Bobcat piss and dog shit, it might be something we should worry about. Meanwhile all over the I35 corridor there is more and more development. And not all of it very smart. Also, incumbent Mayor is running for office. She said recently we have plenty of water, enough to sell. https://www.kxan.com/news/san-marcos-river-flow-drops-to-concerning-levels-amid-worsening-drought-conditions/ TL:DR we need rain bad. Did not see a thread in DT for climate, so dropping it here. Quote The river’s average flow is around 150 cubic feet per second. The San Marcos River Foundation shared a post-Monday saying the flow has dropped to around 80 cfs. Cubic feet per second is the unit of measurement used to describe the volume of water passing a point in a river in one second, according to USGS. “We’re at a concerning level,” said Virginia Parker, the Executive Director of the San Marcos River Foundation. “The San Marcos River is fed by the Edwards Aquifer, which is a very large aquifer that provides drinking water to over 2 million people in Central Texas,” Parker continued. “There’s a lot of crunchy grass out there, which means our aquifer is not getting recharged in the way it needs – not only for drinking water but also for rivers and streams in Central Texas.” Good old 10 day with that tease. If it does not happen going to kick a Georgia fan. Edited October 21, 20241 yr by InkaUtexas

October 28, 20241 yr My guess is that it will only rain, and that it will pour hard when it does, when I’ve got my kids out trick or treating. As soon as we get home it’ll stop.
