Nice shower in 35. No hail yet. 

[Hagbard Celine 10852]

if this thing holds anyone on shoal creek or bull creek needs to get their shit away from the banks because (may the forcefield not be with us) it's going to train right over 2222 and lamar for an hour

Not far away from there, but uphill from it so not worried.

There's a homeless camp that's near a fishing spot on Shoal Creek that we like to use, so that's probably gone...not saying it's good or bad, but it's clear that it was in an area that floods when Shoal Creek gets up, so they bought their tickets or something.

It’s an older hail, my lord.  But it checks out. 

[South Austin 52456]

Only a few minutes of heavy rain and wind, and now wind has died down and just a steady but nice stream of rain. 

[Nicole44 22059]

I can’t believe that just a few streets over golfball. That shit cluster that passed over me looks like it’s going to manor

Yeah, covered with some old blankets we keep in the car for this kind of stuff/camping, etc., and that seems to have diverted the hail since I threw them on the windshield while it was raining hard.

Username does not check out

Looks like we're done here folks.

[jimmyjazz 45891]

Jeez, what a day.  6 AM Austin - Tyler, loaded two cars, back to Austin by 4:30 PM, unloaded by 5:15 PM.  I'm glad we avoided the I35 route through Waco and stayed as east as possible, just barely skirting the southern edge of that storm.  Got dangerously close to College Station, though.

[Blotto 23491]

Hanging out in a parking garage as it started pouring  and my car was getting peppered with pea size hail. Burnet and surrounding streets were damn near flooded out. 

[Hagbard Celine 10852]
