Old man answer to all rain questions is fully engaged:  “we need it”

Nice storm in San Marcos. Good steady rain. All the plants are out in it. Fuck yeah.

Please quit fucking raining

No.  Please don't.  Summer will be here in no time and we'll be begging for it.

I love the rain but it'd be nice if my 'hood didn't lose power seemingly every time lightning strikes within a mile of my house. It's like Bluebonnet Electric put up lightning rods that, instead of grounding the strike, feed it directly into critical transformers or switches or something.

 

strong winds and rain and little bit of hail in Houston, down near Meyerland

Worst fog I’ve seen in years in 78759. Visibility couldn’t have been more than 25 yards.

This happened to me driving on 35 back from Dallas at about 5am one time. If there had been a brick wall in front of me 25 yards away I wouldn’t have known. Semis were just blazing through it at 75mph.  I was white-knuckling the steering wheel at like 55 just praying to not get rear ended. 

My house ended with about 1.5 inches in the last week. I'll take it

I think we got about 1.5" in the past week based on local rain gauges but we could use more... but honestly, can we fill the lakes, please?

0.07" at my house for the past week, but congrats to those who got some.  We all need it.

It'll probably rain around 4am tomorrow morning, so we have that to look forward to.

Shit got pretty real there for 20mts here in close-in south Austin.  Seems to be quieting down down but another wave around 7 or 8.

Glad I put down the wet and forget a few days ago on the patio.

Update:  Looks like about 1.5" for the month.  F that.

Shiiiiit, we had that in 1 hr last week. Oh look, and just as it starts to dry out, another fucking day of rain

1.14" here. In March. In El Nino.

Oh look, we very well could dip below the trend line for rainfall at Mabry:

About 1 inch here since last night.  

Roughly 2.5 inches in 10 days. I'm happy

I know a guy if you need to patch that hole in the sheet rock.  

Wife just texted that lightning just hit behind one of the houses across the canyon from us (Steck/Mesa area).  Lots of smoke on impact.  Could have hit another house, a tree, who knows, but closer than we've seen.  So, that's fun.

But I see there's one more a-comin'

This time for sure... 

From the top of a hill in NB looking west. Probably a good idea to take the boy and head home.

^^ Yeah. That got real REAL for a minute there. Looks to have lost a bit of steam pretty quick which is probably a good thing

Some trailer in the SEC is getting flipped in the next 48 hours.

@ROLFbox alert golf ball sized hail in lakeway/bee caves area.

I caught about bigger than pea size but not quite grape size hail for about a total of 7 minutes. What kind of damage do you think that did? Does anyone here know? My roof was replaced in 2016.

It moved through pretty quick. Wife's car took a few good dents. 

There were 2 bands, I think. I caught about 5 minutes, then it kind of stopped then a 2nd wave lasting about 2 minutes. It turned into just rain at the end.  Fuck. I told the sky to shit or get off the pot with all the dark skies but no rain today. I think I pissed off the weather gods with my insolence. Sorry, assholes!

Is this your pic or a copy / pasta from FB, etc.?

Didn't we do your roof?

 

Pea?  Negligible.  Grape?  Now we're getting interesting.

Golf ball?  😍
