August 11, 20187 yr Many thanks to everyone who watered their grass and washed their cars. Your sacrifice is appreciated.
August 12, 20187 yr Been raining on and off in Frisco all day long... A nice, soaking mist too when it hasn’t been raining. This is after the thunderstorm Thursday night dropped over an inch. Cant wait for the green-up!

Yep, mostly people with ultralight rigs fishing for sunfish/cichlids/etc. or parents with kids - I've seen more than a few fly-fishing along it as well, including one of these guys: https://www.matthewbey.com/adventures-fly-fishing-austins-shoal-creek/ https://www.matthewbey.com/five-days-of-austin-fishing-redux/ It's a 10-minute or so walk from where we are at, and it's a fun thing to do in the evenings with my 5 year-old. Catching a little sunfish is a lot of fun on his little rig. Alternative is to take him over to the ponds behind Central Market on North Lamar and pray he doesn't snag a turtle. We've actually caught small bass just south of the bridge on 38th street, although the holes in that area are practically dried up. You get further downstream and you find some pretty decent areas here and there. Get close to the lake, and there are some large areas. Edited August 12, 20187 yr by atomheartbevo

Having walked/ridden along it a lot over the past 5 years, I know how much stuff drains into it, and not just lawn fertilizer or the oil/shit/whatever on the streets.
August 12, 20187 yr We are gonna get rain in the next hour, streams coming right at us from the S/SW. Smack through Austin and 20 miles each side of town. Hays Co., you've been left out of the party, but you're getting it good next 5-30 minutes. This one's a'comin. Enjoy it. Fucking August 12, in the three hottest average days of the year, and we're getting rain and temps not even out of the 80's yet in the afternoon. Amazing. You won't see this too much in the next 15 years. Enjoy.
August 12, 20187 yr For your perousal/enjoyment/teeth-gnashing... rain totals since Wednesday: Gee, I dunno, kinda reminds me of something, but I just... can't... put... my.. finger... on... it....
August 12, 20187 yr my rain gauge was bone dry at 2pm yesterday. i poured out 3 inches at 6:45am today and it rained for another 2 hours after that. 78728
August 12, 20187 yr Force field has been holding up strong in West Houston. Looks like we'll get through the weekend with only a few drops....

August 12, 20187 yr Got a brief downpour in Pflugerville earlier some delivering. Just started pouring again at 35/Wells Branch
August 12, 20187 yr Finally getting another nice steady rain in Hewitt. Of course I haven’t mowed the yard in 2 weeks and it’s gonna need quite the hacking when the grass finally dries out.

August 20, 20187 yr This shit in Georgetown going to hold together all the way thru? Getting a good douching right now in GT.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
August 20, 20187 yr I have the cbsaustin interactive weather map bookmarked. As of few minutes ago it said "weak front passing though, storms not expected to be severe." Now it says "Warning until 6:15pm. Possible winds to 60 mph and hail to 1" in diameter with a storm over Andice tracking SW 10 mph." I'm guess that is just copy/pasted from NWS outlooks, but it made me laugh.
August 20, 20187 yr I'm headed to north Leander then down Nameless to Jonestown right now, so I'll see what it's got.
August 20, 20187 yr I saw a big black cloud just evaporate right in front of me. I think 360 is the edge of the forcefield on the NW
August 20, 20187 yr It's been splotchy up here. I can see a downpour with lightning to the west and another to the east and I'm driving up 45 with nothing. Temp still dropping. 82°.

August 21, 20187 yr Saw it getting angrier and angrier from downtown. Ride home and looking outside now...not a drop and sky is getting clearer by the minute.

August 21, 20187 yr Got about 75$ worth out of a brief shower out here in the 71 west area. Every little bit helps as I try to convince my yard to hang in there just a little longer.
August 23, 20187 yr 3 nights in a row of rain by lake GT. Probably will never rain here again.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
August 31, 20187 yr What is happening here? it appears something big is moving across the US and heading our way. https://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php
September 2, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, South Austin said: Just heard a loud crack of thunder in Rosedale. Yep. Weather.com app says there was a strike 3 miles NNE of us.
September 2, 20187 yr Radar app says the rain is just north of 45th street. You gotta be shitting me if that doesn’t make it down a little further.
