July 8, 20196 yr House down the street appears to have taken a lightening hit. Power been out for a while now.
July 9, 20196 yr Kept power in 78759 (I’m on Pedernales), but my lake house in Hudson Bend (on City of Austin) lost power.

July 9, 20196 yr 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.

July 9, 20196 yr I'm still trying to figure out where in 78759 gets PEC? Down along Old Spicewood? Edit: I found it. https://outages.pec.coop/dmsoutagemap/default.html Edited July 9, 20196 yr by Orange&White
July 9, 20196 yr 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.
July 9, 20196 yr 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.

July 10, 20196 yr 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.

July 11, 20196 yr 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. Edited July 11, 20196 yr by Trey3216 Nvm. Looks like that shit gon miss too. Furk
July 11, 20196 yr 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

July 11, 20196 yr The dog would have been in my lap half an hour ago if this was going to turn into anything. Should start our own weather prediction channel on youtube.
July 15, 20196 yr Dammit Frankie, could have used a heads up that the skies were going to open up today.
July 15, 20196 yr We had a nice downpour for about an hour and got 4 inches of rain. The pool has been cooled off too!
July 15, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, Biff Tannen said: Yeah that came out of nowhere. It was the rain shower equivalent of a shart.
July 17, 20196 yr The next 10 days look to be favorable for keeping this summer "cooler" than normal.
July 18, 20196 yr 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...
July 18, 20196 yr 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 .

July 18, 20196 yr We should get some good rain from that hurricane that is going to hit Corpus the 1st week of August.Source: Going to Corpus for a week on Aug 4th.
