  • Figured I'd post this here, it's where you'd look for me. First, thanks very much for the concern (I had no idea), it's appreciated.  I mean, really?  Wow, that's been surprising. Second, I'm fi

    is the excessive rain this year being triggered from the ash rising to the atmosphere from the concentration camps on our border?  Like volcanoes creating storms when the erupt?

    So after my company started sending people home, a coworker of mine who takes the metro in from cypress left to catch the bus. He got to the NW transit center at 610 and old Katy road and they decided

Strugglin' to sprinkle like an old man with a swollen prostate in the '45.

Kept power in 78759 (I’m on Pedernales), but my lake house in Hudson Bend (on City of Austin) lost power.

You poor thing.

Power came back on. And then went out 15 seconds later. Nice work Austin energy. 

The grid can't handle the homeless charging their smart phones.

More than a few of us had to suffer from a manservant washing our arses with one hand whilst holding a flashlight with the other after a trip to the commode.

Does your watch tell time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad?

No, but it does tell the time simultaneously in the 78759 and 78734 zip codes. 

Just got back from the Low Latitudes... judging by my lawn, rain was available.

Still no 100° day and here it is July 9.
(nojinx and it might get there apparently one of next 2 days).

Wow.

I'm trying to decide whether it's finally time to turn on the sprinklers.  What's the feeling on more late afternoon dustups like we had yesterday?  My yard's pretty happy today, so if I can keep it that way on Mother Nature's tab I'm all for it.  

I'm not optimistic that Tropical Event Florabama will make it all the way to Austin.

What was the record? Didn’t you say it hasn’t done this in 50 years?

Sort of (didn't say for sure but I said possibly)... however I wasn't quite right, but sorta close...

Just found this tonight... years with no 100 degree temps since Austin has kept records:
1987, 1979, 1975, 1973, 1968, 1919, 1908, 1907, 1906, 1904

So that's four in the last 50 years... and notice the huge gap in between the five years on each bookend... interesting.

Austin’s area about to take it hard and deep. 

Looks like it's falling apart - but going to stay together enough in the highland lakes, which is a good outcome. I'd be glad to be wrong and see it hold together all the way through Travis County.

yeah, i hope that you are right. the one off to the northeast looks to be breaking up as well. 

That birch went just west of me in Hewitt.  Nice lightning show though.  Hopefully the one that hit Cedar Creek will get my grass a drink.

Shit was crazy in DFW earlier. Left Carrollton in a downpour and lighting everywhere. Had a softball game and soccer game in Northeast Dallas and not a sprinkle

You are looking live at the Austin Force Field in full effect.

It was raining at my house about 10 minutes ago. I can still hear thunder.

"piece of shit won't break"

lol wut

 

Dammit Frankie, could have used a heads up that the skies were going to open up today.

Sounds like Chet's mom pissing on a flat rock out there!

We had a nice downpour for about an hour and got 4 inches of rain. The pool has been cooled off too!

Just got .75" in 78749

Yeah that came out of nowhere.

It was the rain shower equivalent of a shart.

Expected (chances of rain at 50% today).  One of Barry's bands.  No surprise.

The next 10 days look to be favorable for keeping this summer "cooler" than normal.

Cool front coming through - probably - next Tuesday.  Not too often we see that now.  But it's 1) weak, will drop temps maybe 7-8 degrees for a day or so, and 2) is not guaranteed to make it through.

Still, it'll provide the lift for widespread rain mid-next week.  Or so it looks...

I havent watered the yard once this year and it is green as hell.

I was just noticing the front part of the yard getting a little bit light. I might turn the sprinkler system on this weekend to make sure everything is still working to get ready  to run them next week. If the rain mentioned above materializes, I’ll wait another week. 

Not having to water until late July in Austin is something we should all celebrate .

You're probably sitting on top of a dormant volcano.

You have no idea.  

We should get some good rain from that hurricane that is going to hit Corpus the 1st week of August.
