Your sarcasm is always on point, I can’t even tell if this is real or not. I grabbed my remote to see, but decided against interrupting my current Arliss episode on HBO Max to tempt fate.

I like to think my easterly location gives me an early jump on the Tesla HQ real estate windfall.

[South Austin 52500]

Fucking nature and her thunder kept me up for about an hour.

Anyone notice how it seems like any real rain we get always seems to come at night? Trying to think of the last rainy front that blew in during the daytime.

Global cooling.

About 4.25" in SWAtx

There isn't too much on the horizon for us in Texas, but the West Coast is about to get hammered...they need it.

No doubt.

That’s got to be almost as depressing as rain all the time. It reminds me of 2011 here and how it got to be depressing looking at the 7 day forecast with no chance of rain week after week.

And now come the mudslides after months of drought and forest fires.

I knew it was bad. Didn't realize it was 212 days, breaking 140-year-old records bad.

212 days without lube is nothing for California tax payers.

When does the bomb cyclone hit the west coast? Tomorrow or later this week? Saw a report on that…and while it will bring the precipitation needed lots of damaging stuff too.

[Hate 20108]

It starts tonight.

Dammit. Gotta get those fires out though. Sequoia KNP complex is at 55% containment. Hopefully this seals it.

KXAN;

Our next chance of rain will coincidently be brought on by a very similar weather pattern as our last storm. Our flooding rain last week was brought to us by the remains of once Hurricane Pamela out in the Eastern Pacific which later weakened over the mountains of Mexico. The moisture of the remains of Pamela collided with a deepening trough and an approaching front. Setting the stage for that flooding event. This time around we could similarly have another potential weakening Pacific tropical storm colliding with a deepening trough and influencing our weather here at home in about a week’s time.

Just tell me if it is going to rain on Oct 30 or 31.

It's never going to rain again.

Those of us in SE Texas need to watch our cornholes tomorrow morning.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

We may get some this evening. Into the yeller now. 

 

[HenryJames 66052]

Rain, imo.

[Guest Lobo]

Wow.  Three inches in 30 minutes already.  For once, KXAN actually undersold a storm.  
 

Everybody be safe out there this morning.  Looks like it’ll go until about 8am or so but I’ll await further instructions from PhDhorn.

Congrats to your wife on both the length and duration.

Something about seeing our patio furniture wash off the side really brings it out of the two of us.

Good for you. According to the closest LCRA gauge, we have only had .69” (niiiiice) since Midnight at my place. 

[utee94 15823]

.87" at my house, looks like the average around Austin was .5-.9.

The winds did blow down some of my Halloween decorations.  Never forget.

[boknowstecmo 216]

Large, dangerous tornado headed NE toward Deweyville. Came from an offshore supercell and not the squall line. 

[Hate 20108]

My house was right in the middle of a tornado warning earlier today. We had another tree snapped in half and lost a good section of fence. This is the 4th Texas Oak I’ve had split in half during storms in the time I’ve lived here. I think I will no longer plant Texas Oak trees here.
