Fun fact I learned in an acoustics class at UT:  temperature inversions are often the reason one can hear much more distant sounds at night.  The temperature gradient causes sound waves to bend back towards the earth, as opposed to bending upwards during the day.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

    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

Cold air above and hot air below?

Can't remember which way it goes day/night, it was a pretty boring topic.  (Not acoustics, that was my emphasis, but I didn't care about atmospheric shit.)

It'll also cause airborne radiation monitors to alarm.

Haha. The first thing I thought of when I heard temperature inversion.

Were you at Ballstan Spa?

Yep. Then my wife spent another 4 years there as an instructor.

God damn force field

Ours gave way. Had 45 minutes of really hard rain. Easily over an inch.

Nice soaking in 78759 yesterday evening for about 40 minutes. I’ll take moar please.

1.75 inches of rain last night.  7.5" over normal YTD precip.  Last night was at least 20 minutes of strobelight lightning, some of the worst I've ever seen.  There were several HS football games called or cancelled because of it in the panhandle area.

Raining at Lake LBJ now... guess tears for Texas terrible passing offensive showing today

yuck

Got just a 5 minute shower today, ground is already dry again. Austin will get widespread deep soaking rain soon right?

Sitting on my porch in Wimberley. I see T storms rolling in.

Same at Lake LBJ -- thunder booming now. 

Sorry to hear about the damage at "The Blue Hole"

Rain looks heavy in some areas below...

Temp has dropped 30 degrees in Dallas in the last 5 hours. Thankfully no tornados but big ass thunderstorms currently. Power just flashed off at my house.

Fucking tariffs.

Got a light rain out in Horseshoe Bay. Radar looks like the Hill Country will get a good bit for the next few hours 

I guess the armored dominator must be in the shop. Here's Reed Timmer absolutely fucking up a suburu in the texas/oklahoma panhandle area.

He's damn good at what he does. That being said, I'd probably punch him in the face more than once if I had to spend more than 20 minutes with him.

I kind of like "disappointment zone." It's honest.

Could also be the name of a 90s emo band.

Sitting out on my deck at Lake LBJ. Horizon Lighting and really delayed thunder from the NE. Radarscope shows a front with storms around Lampasas, and yet I can see and hear it here. Pretty cool. Perhaps should go in the High thread. 

Preparing myself to watch the Austin Force Field deliver the Disappointment Zone in full effect...

Austin-area rain is more like this:

Out here in the wastelands on the edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, we got just shy of an inch overnight.
