Good to know Frankie is alive and well. I was worried.

In those matchups, the main storm line always obliterates the outflow line.  The outflow Frenches it up and allows the German main line to plow right through.

Dude.. I accidentally hit hate when I was trying to hit like.. fuck the rep.. you rock.

NE running kinda fizzled, enabling extra time to clean out a gutter.

Was driving on Creek Road in 78620 & turned onto 290 to go East... light rain, all was fine, then as soon as I hit rubber to 290, it was like a 3,000 gal. water tank opened up on my truck... non stop for 30 seconds & then it dropped back to light rain.  Crazy

[ROFL BOX 6649]

So, overall... what's the outlook for North Hays County tomorrow?  I've got some cedar to clear & want to plan ahead a bit.  I'd rather use my Milwaukee electric than the Echo CS.

My sister, a nurse in Dallas, just told me to STFU and quit being a pussy. 

Wiser words have never been spoken.

After this line passes, maybe light rain or a shower overnight, but this is it pretty much for this system.  Stuff might be soggy but weather should be ok for being outside, especially later in the morning on.

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2652]

Crazy winds right now in Galveston.

Alright, wapping up here on the West Side.  May rain totals now about 3" above normal, good month.

Those E of Austin (not many I know) watch out, these storms will run into unstable air (the air over us kinda weakened these storms as I guessed, severe TS warnings axed) which hasn't yet seen storms.. they could flare up around midnight and get nasty.

The rest of us, it's over on the west side, happening now in central.  That's it, a nice May rainwise so far.  Enjoy it, no rain forecast in next 5-6 days at least.  NItey-nite.

[Royal With Cheese 3]

Raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock near Pond Springs Road.

[Vito Andolini 9126]

There’s literally a line from the Red River to the Rio Grande, practically mimicking I-35, something to behold.

Are there a crew of frat boys pissing on my windows?

Jfc.

[atomheartbevo 89657]

And we briefly lost power in ‘56 and it woke up the kids.  Lovely.  One is sleeping with mommy in our bed, I’m on the couch with the other.    Need a king size bed.

WTF?? Why would anyone over the age of 35 not have a king sized bed?

Sat on the back porch through all that -- good therapy.  Man, some big thunder and torrential downpours.  Smelled better than South Austin's m

Never mind.

[MissingInAction 25062]

Next round otw.. good thang I ain't got shit to do

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Woke up a little bit ago to one hell of a light show down here on the Coastal Bend. Got up to piss and get a drink of water then watched for a bit. Then I noticed my wife forgot to close the garage door. The kids are sleeping through the storm but I absolutely know that if I go close the door, they will somehow wake up to that.

I mean let’s not act like this was some big rain maker or event. Sure it was lots of lightning and thunder and some isolated heavy rain. Mostly It was a line of storms that moved through the area over about 2-3 hours. We’ll take what we can get, but the original precipitation forecast of widespread 4-6” didn’t exactly pan out.
 

Most of south Texas and the Hill Country still need lots more rain before the death grip of the summer high hits. But I’m a pessimist so...

[Hpara759 1778]

1.8".    78626

[utee94 15820]

I left the boat out overnight for a good rinse.  Headed to the lake now.

Still raining in Waco.   Hasn’t stopped since the gust front storms started around 10:45 last night.

It went through then put it in reverse and backed up like a Chinese driver making sure their pedestrian victim is dead.

Buncha random tornado warnings in NE Texas spawning off the rotation of the low.
