  1. Hey now, there are quite a few F1 fans on this board, the F1 thread is one of the lengthier ones on the Other Sports board, and several of us have chimed in on this thread with positive reviews of the movie. I don't recall THIS guy posting on the F1 thread so I wouldn't say he's an F1 super fan at all.
  2. Lake Travis up to 654' which means up about 16.5' since 8 AM yesterday. The gauges on Hamilton and Big Sandy creeks have been pegged at the exact same numbers for most of the day so I'd assume they're broken/non-functional. Still, Cow Creek has tracked up and down with the rains, and there's more coming in from the north, so I'd expect they'll continue to flow rapidly and be unsafe for the foreseeable future. And Lake Buchanan finally on the move, up 3' from 8 AM yesterday with the river still running around ~73K cfs above Colorado Bend.
  3. This is the RAIN thread. You're a complete fucking idiot if you think this thread needs to "tell it like it is" about political posturing. Awesome. Go talk about all of the politics on the CLOAK ROOM thread about this.
  4. Bull. Fucking. Shit. There's no need to discuss a political press conference on the RAIN thread. You wanna know the right place to discuss your feelings about a political press conference. It's the fucking CLOAK ROOM you dipshits.
  5. Two weeks? Mansfield? I'll take that bet. The top 20' of Lake Travis are... massive. This is what it's made for.
  6. I disagree completely. People are venting their anger not just about this event but about party politics in general. Just look at the comments from all of the usual suspects about "which team" is responsible. I'm angry about it too but that's not what this thread is. There are current ongoing rain events. That's what this thread is.
  7. Yes please do. They deserve all of the criticism being heaped upon them. And that discussion should be held in the appropriate forum. Listen that's fine, but it's clearly a topic for another forum on this very message board, that is created specifically for that kind of discussion. Perhaps folks haven't noticed but there's an actual, ongoing, RAIN event occurring in Central Texas right now. It hasn't stopped and in some places it's increasing. The type of stuff that is actually appropriate for THIS thread.
  8. Wow that's a startling image. It shows as closed, as do several other points along 1431. I wonder if any of the rest are destroyed,
  9. Lulz. Isn't this the recruitment where the player's dad publicly stated he was glad Michigan didn't roll out with goats and other stupid gimmicky shit?
  10. For sure, each incremental foot of lakerise requires more and more water. But I won't be surprised if it reaches or gets close to 660 now, at this point.
  11. 680 is considered full. Right now it's still 30 feet low and that's less than 50% I think, so they wouldn't likely consider releasing at any point during this event.
  12. YW. And I just realized you typed Tyler not Taylor, so bolverk's link will be of more use than mine.
  13. Lot of flooding in Liberty Hill/Leander. You can use this website to check for road closures which will also help determine where the conditions are deteriorated in general. https://atxfloods.com/ I drove down to South Austin and back to the Cedar Park area earlier today and aside from rain bands, the roads were fine. I was entirely on major roads of course.
  14. Lake Travis now above 651. That's ~13.5 feet since 8 AM yesterday. And both Hamilton Creek and Big Sandy still running at almost 50K cfs.
  15. Damn he pisses me off he's so good. Race should be fun, any weather expected at kickoff?
  16. 225 is pretty much foolproof, that's why it's so commonly used. If you get an odd temperature flare-up at 225 and it gets to 300, no big deal. If you get one at 300 and it spiked to 375, that can be more problematic. So for beginners or folks who don't know their pit that well, 225 works really well.
  17. Yeah I thought of that plaque as well. We camp at Ped Falls at least once per year. The past several it's been sad, barely any water. But I've seen it flooding like this before, too. Water moving so fast and heavy you can't even see the falls, it just looks like a small bump-down in the river level.
  18. Ha! Yup. Pouring. Over 5" since Thursday night.
  19. Truly tragic events have unfolded and it's heartbreaking. People are sad, and mad, and that's to be expected. I'd like to ask everyone to please keep this thread clear of infighting and finger-pointing and especially keep it clear of cloak room stuff. There are plenty of other forums and threads to discuss all of that. Anyway, pouring rain again at my house, it's almost as dark as night, and every single drop here, will go straight into Lake Travis.
  20. Saw it Thursday night and really enjoyed it. The story was fine, nothing groundbreaking but well done for what it was. And the film and sound work were incredible. There were times when they made the racecars sound like monsters, fire-breathing dragons and such. Cool stuff.
  21. Yeah I'm near that 3.8 on the far right, along Cypress Creek. We've had a lot of rain but just to the west of us over in Jonestown/Big Sandy they've had a lot more. Big Sandy Creek running at 48K cfs and it's starting to rain again, predictions are for some of the heaviest rain we've seen yet between now and noon. I'm reading that 1431 is closed at Lago Vista. I think it's possible it'll rise another 10' today, it's about to start raining heavy again, on the same areas north of the lake.
  22. As mentioned above, I don't recall ever seeing Cow Creek and Big Sandy with these kinds of flow rates.
  23. Lake Travis up about 10' in the past 24 hours, 9' of that since midnight.
  24. The San Saba taking the length.
