2022 Rain Thread

[Chet Steadman 940]

I mean, at least one or two of those predicted thirteen inches would have been nice /twss

[Blotto 23418]

 

[Nonbryan 173]

Definitely not moist in north Austin

[Loop 1604 227]

Austin/SA NWS office doomed us with their 3-4 inches map yesterday morning. That was really dumb, no model was showing that except for specific CAMs.
 

Euro has nailed this event so far.

So is this bullshit or actually gonna happen? 

[utee94 15742]

Looks like a Forcefield Special to me, but here's hoping for better.

Complete bullshit.  Get car washed and water the lawn.

[South Austin 52037]

Woke up expecting that all this rain the smart guys were predicting would cancel my morning run.  Instead there was no rain but I was practically running in a sauna.  Not cool.

Supposedly a strong line of storms will totally absolutely form and roll through Texas tonight. But we all know it will never rain again, so

Cool. So 4-5 days of forecasted rain now equals one line of storms. 
 

Models have been abysmal lately, I wouldn’t trust anything they show. They can’t get a handle on all the stable, sinking air that is absolutely dominating the EPAC.

Fuck that shit.

[Larry T. Spider 1740]

It’s going to rain when the one line comes across but be nothing close to what people were talking about a few days ago. Most of us knew better. 

Yards won’t need watering for a few days but we will be right back in the shit. Lakes still low/dropping as well. The only good thing would be the ground getting some water in it meaning that future rain would run off….but it’s not in the forecast.

I just saw video of this on the news. Not this video. I can understand storm chasers. But in the video I saw, regular drivers were driving on the road in the direction of the tornado. Why in the hell wouldn’t you turn around and flee in the other direction just to be safe? I don’t care if the whirlwind is miles away. Get the fuck out of there. Why take a chance?

It may have escaped your attention, but this country is full of fucking morons. If you're late for your fist fight at the local taco bell, well then you gotta take some risks.

Gets close as it really gets going 2 minutes in, then ends with Close Encounters:

This was out near Lubbock?

I’d probably continue on towards that thing as well if returning to Lubbock was my only other option

Are the fires in Abilene at least getting some relief out of this?

Had a tornado and now a warning for hail up to baseball size for Glasscock County.

I just broke the jinx in 78756 - we've got rain, wind, and two power flickering events.

Reminds me of:

[Stringer 1436]

All of a sudden getting pounded in Highland Park West. Rain coming in horizontal.

[Nicole44 22023]

Heavy winds and rain right now in 78717. Spooky sounding outside I’ll tell ya…

[phdhorn 6224]

Everyone is getting rain out of this. Everyone. Every. Single. Person. in Hays Travis, and Williamson. If you don't think you are or will you're either lying through your teeth or dead.

Mild severe thunderstorm going through, spotty damaging winds but not really too terrible. Followed by some more rain and less severe after it into the early morning.

Exactly as they predicted, right smack dab on the nose.

[Wally Pryor 5240]

Yeah, spread your legs force field.

[CooterBrown 17875]

Heavy wind, rain and hail in 78757. It’s pretty wild out there.

[AUS-97HORN 11654]

heavy rain in 78757 with a few pings of tiny bits of hail occasionally heard. 

[Nicole44 22023]

The force field  always breaks down the night before trash day so that everyone’s garbage can blow out and down the street along with their garbage can things…so cool. Trash day eve always trumps force field. Undefeated!

and like clockwork with sideways rain some jack wagon is out jogging. Legit.

[Steel Shank 9405]

My ass is getting it hit hard in “The ‘39”.

[UTexasFight 9369]

Never forget

 

 

 

 

(Please be the only “damage”)

 

[phdhorn 6224]

Not too often you see a severe thunderstorm warning Three counties or 90 miles long. But if it wasn't for the line, the storms would be worse and possibly spawn tornadoes.

Line is a little nasty in places but quick moving and almost threw three county area now. I don't expect to see widespread damage though certainly a few trees and shingles can be blown off in this thing. Lighter rain continues off and on the next few hours.
