Take that shit to the Evangelical Christians thread.

We had 2 cars stall and get flooded and one douchebag in a Corvette drive across part of our yard to avoid stalling. I got a picture of his license plate though.

Here is one of the flooded cars. We had between 7 and 8 inches of rain in about 2 hours.

Feels like we are setting up for another 2011. Thoughts on that?
 

 

 

I don't think so.

By this time in 2011 we were way behind in rain (now we're about normal for this point in May), and the ground had long been dried out and allowed temps to climb fast through the spring.  The lakes were far below normal entering into the summer season.

Now we're about normal rain for May, even to only about -1" in most CenTex places fo 2018 rain totals vs. normal, and CPC forecast is calling for "hot"temps  but "normal" rain.  Of course "normal" rain in Austin in July and August is under 2" total for each month, so that doesn't mean much.

We really won't now how the summer sets up until mid-June, to see what the pattern (Jet, oscillations, etc.) will do for storm movement.  One good thing is that the SE US is calling for above normal rain, and in those years, a lot of that stuff drifts west into our area.

We'll be hot, probably get dry, but 2011?  Not quite.

The Woodlands. I finally got to check my rain gauge and we ended up with 7 inches of rain.

We have rain chains... love them... but ours have the cups which are super cool and work really well.

Got about 2" yesterday.

Hill Country is getting it right now. Great light show.

Dang! Glad I'm not about to drive that 2-lane winding stretch from Llano to Brady right now. It's harrowing enough in the dark. Can't imagine that in a thunderstorm at night, because it's heading that way... Hill Country Surly, watch your bungholes.

I’m south of Junction right now enjoying the show.

That cell had freaking baseball sized hail when it was up by Comanche. Insane.

The lightning storm over Houston is badass.

Totally petered out by the time it got to the west side....

I was watching it from Galveston. It was fast moving and just constant lightning with some of it streaking across the sky.

This week temps will flirt above/below the 100° mark.  Good chance next weekend we'll approach all-time record temps (officially in Austin 112°), upwards of 105°-108°.

In 2011 sucked. Had to pack up all my important papers and keepsakes and evacuate.  Horses went in a trailer to Henly.  Tried to go back home to check on shit and Hays County deputy wouldn’t let me on my street without checking my ID

You had a fire out there?

I think we're about done with this thread, at least in Texas.

The Spicewood fire got within a mile or so of our subdivision and we had mandatory evacuation.  Fortunately the crews stopped it before it jumped Hamilton Pool road.  

I get it, it's not Texas, but some pretty serious rainfall in the last hour.  The 8 inch areas are just east of the Blue Ridge so should be some significant flooding.DefgnpgWsAA-oG-.jpg:large

Shouldn't Colonel Sanders be informing us about weather we don't give a shit about in Kentucky, rather than Virginia?

 

 

 

Seeing the thread bumped gave me a little hope that rain was in its way. Nope, fuck you colonel Sanders.

Yes...need to shut it down for the summer...see you all next fall....

What’s this 40% chance I see on Mon/Tues?  Or am I counting outs??

Means there is a 60% chance you don't get rain.

That's in Mexican percentages.  I think it's like 5,000% Mexican = 1% American.

There is a front that's supposed to sag and stall just north of us Sunday.  Sometimes they produce just enough instability to produce some good rain.
But in general, "summer stalled fronts":

Monday is 'posed to be hot although a relatively icier 97°.  Any rain is 'pected Sunday afternoon/evening.   LOL, rain....

GFS weather model has another storm in the GOM in two weeks.  Maybe it turn out to be a tropical wave instead and give us a little relief.
