2022 Rain Thread

[phdhorn 6225]

Decent (but not that decent) chance of rain this afternoon and then possibly tomorrow morning.

After that:

[Native Horn 3581]

Cows/flat rocks in 78748.

[Larry T. Spider 1747]

Got a solid 10 minutes in round rock.

[utee94 16088]

 

[CleverNickname 1345]

Up near Mullin where I got my hole a neighbor's gauge had 5.5 inches. The creek did rise. Go a mile north or south and it was 1 to 3 inches. 

[Post Oak 20568]

Went for a run about 6 this AM. My wife said you better look at the radar.  It looked like it was staying north of us.  Twenty minutes later I'm calling her from the safety of Laredo Taco Company to come get me.  Out of breath and drenched.  Big heavy rain drops. 

[phdhorn 6225]

Bee Cave had a solid .001 this morning.  Rescue crews/choppers out now as I write.

Thoughts and prayers. 

Not because of the rain, but because you are never going to hear the end of it from your wife.

Yep.  Loaded all the shit into the bed of the truck for Port A, then boom.   Hopefully the 3 hour traipse through the sun and 97 south of Seguin drys our clothes out.

Why didn't you just get some tacos while you were there and wait it out?

No wallet and they wouldn't extend credit to a out of breath soaked fool.

Fuckin hell.  That's what you get for trying to plan ahead.  Especially as a dad of two youngins you're just trying to make travelling a little bit easier. I don't miss that aspect.

Have fun.

The very definition of FAFO 

[phdhorn 6225]

Race against time/evaporation.  

Big nice line of solid rain heading this way - but weakening ever so slightly.  Made it so far from the Panhandle.  Will it hold together?  Man, I don't know, it's trying though.



I hope so, because this is it before the Deep Heat Blast coming up for the next week.

Man, it's trying, but I don't think it's gonna make it - or at least very little of it.

[NorthLoop 14466]

And just like that....

Rain, imo.

[Homercles 10206]

Love the rain and don’t really mind a thunderstorm even if it spooks my kids…but at 6a on a Saturday, it rustles my jimmies. 

[leaf 718]

Some serious lightning and thunder in 78717

A beautiful Saturday morning 

 

 

[HenryJames 67366]

Needs more plants.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9508]

Sitting in the HEB parking lot at Lakeline & 183 waiting for curbside. I'm not gonna risk some kid getting zapped by lightning just to get our groceries. Hoping this will move through quickly.

[leaf 718]

The wife often comes home with more plants.  I have to take care of them because she is a plant murderer.

Wow, rare forcefield in usually-tropical-drenched Bee Cave... most of this went north/south of us.  Only getting wafer-thin mint of rain on streets/grass:

[Wiler77 1628]

Fucking cock tease in Driftwood.  Radar showed a big blob of rain supposedly over my house.

 

[Jerry Callo 8960]

By my estimate, we got over 2 inches between Cedar Park and Round Rock.

[williemackgarza 1826]

Prolly close to 1.5” in rrock this morn.

Should build a connector between the brace beams, he could hang at least 4 more there.  Not to mention repurposing a pallet or 2 for strawberries.

I mean it was like at 7am, but you can't be drunk all day if you don't start drinking early.

Keeping perspective for the state as a whole, things did improve the last 4 weeks.

rooting for a pacific hurricane to develop and kick some moisture our way. Don't want a big one to hit us head on, but damn I would love some rain. 

[Blotto 24021]

New Mexico getting drought-donged.

This is depressing.

[bschoolprof 6342]

Should we just shit this thread down till the fall? Or next year?

[bschoolprof 6342]

I meant shut. But shit works ok too.

If it rained today the raindrops would probably be warm

[Trey3216 15452]

Posting in this thread at this juncture….

The longest term forecast I've seen has a slight chance of rain on the last day of June. That's it. We're fucked.
