And as I suspected, the rainfall next week has drifted southwards. If this were to verify, the lakes would get a really nice bump going into summer.

    I got my boy out from La Junta. As far as I can tell the whole camp got to high ground well in advance of the bad stuff and watched the camp get obliterated. My son is 8 and they took the younger kids

Still really good flow into Buchanan. It’s over 1000 feet this morning for the first time in a long time.

Is it just from the initial fill up or ongoing refills? Never owned a pool.

I have a small pool that holds about 11k gallons. In the winter I may add 100 gallons a month. In the dead of summer I probably add about 800 gallons a month.

Pretty cool graphic.  And yeah, our casa was just inside the 65 mph+ area, which checks out.

Crazy, but I believe those numbers. Sorry about the job, you’re supposed to get all the girls working at the pool in the summer.

I was right in the middle of the god damn red.  Good thing I was hunkered down in a bar.

Any surly Lubbock peeps? I see that fucking tornado traveling down 84 so I am not sure how bad it hit Lubbock. 
 

couldn’t find the right thread sorry,

It’s bad but not catastrophic . Gonna be lots of damage west side of town. My folks are southwest and had golf ball to tennis ball hail for almost 15 minutes straight. Lots of trees and power poles down.

Sorry to hear that. My sister in law’s parents live there and one niece and the niece is house sitting in a house near Post (which is where it looks like that shit is headed) but the house has a basement and hoping she’s in it. Can’t get in touch with her. The niece.

I imagine the evaporation off of a municipal pool as a function of capacity dwarfs that of a residential pool.  They're both roughly the same depth, but the surface area of the public pool is massive.

Not just evap, but the sheer number of people getting in and out and dragging water out with them.

yeah but it is moderated by the pee factor.

If they are the same depth, then the surface area should have the same proportion to capacity in both.

If you lose 1/4" of depth per day to evaporation in both pools, which one loses more water?

As a fraction/proportion of the capacity, both would be the same.

Not if the residential pool is on a treadmill.

Heard there were twin twisters at one point.

zero edge pools are much worse on water loss. a very thin/sheer surface area on the wall water trickles down to the basin. that surface area to depth is non-existent.

 

But they are so choice.  If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

 

Looks like the rest of June and beginning of July are going to be wetter than average.

That dry line in New Mexico will shift about 600 miles east.

Probably, and we will suffer and pay and like it.

David Reimer saying possible Derecho and severe storms from the panhandle to to NE Texas.

Damaging winds (consistent 60 to 100mph) and embedded tornadoes.

Rick Mitchell on NBC5 says the really bad stuff should hit D/FW around midnight. Just moved in all the patio furniture. We’ll see what happens…

For some reason I got a weather alert that woke me up.  Forcefield might get tested in an hour.  

Same - Seems like we’re playing “just the tip” with this cell

Sigh. Top of NW Hills, a bit of wind damage with this one (small sticks and such, knocked some light patio furniture over). Made a hell of a racket and woke us up to boot.

Headin to work last night and as I rounded a curve in the driveway I see a fairly big elm tree fell blocking the drive. Luckily I have a back way out and used it. Unfortunately, when I got home this morning I had to dig my chainsaw out from the junk corner of my garage then go remove the tree. Nothing like working a 12 hour shift then coming home to run a chainsaw for an hour.

Knocked over the outdoor gas patio heater and there were leaves in the pool.  Scared the shit out the dogs, but no damage.  

Had a helluva storm blow through yesterday evening. Torrential winds, hail, and rain that lasted all of 10-15 minutes. Quite a bit of damage in the downtown area.

Fortunately, my neighborhood was spared the worst of it.
