As long as there's no Thunderstorm Warning it's cool. If there is I have to move 800 people in the middle of the night that ain't happy.

For a thunderstorm warning?

Safety first. Actually there's a shitload of things I have to do, leadership to wake up and force them make the call so the heat is off my ass before the ball starts rolling.

Care to elaborate a bit? I don’t understand any system that requires moving 800 people because of a potential thunderstorm. I could understand a tornado warning, but every time it rains?!?

They live in Chinese lanterns.  When they get wet, they fall apart.

Got about 2 inches in 45 minutes.  That's great.  What wasn't was that my wife ran over a nail about 5 minutes before it hit.  Fucking soaked.  Got some fix a flat in it, got it to Discount Tire. Walked in looking like a just went for a swim.  

Still not complaining

Yeah, that storm blew up like a bomb.  I went to a client’s house at 3:45 wearing my sunglasses, and 20 minutes later I’m telling them it looks like I better get going because it was black as night outside.   Then I had to stop and get gas and run through the dumping rain and hail to go pay since the pay at the pump was down.

I once drove to Dallas from Austin not paying attention to the weather up north before I left

Radar looking something like the below.

35 flooded/closed just north of Waco.

tried some back roads that were ok until I came around a corner and headlights hit what looked like a massive lake right in the middle of the road with a huge culvert turned perpendicular 

That was about my most terrifying night of driving . Right up there with driving in a 2 wheel pickup up a mountain in Colorado near Christmas as a blizzard was rolling in

Think I did that drive coming from Dallas to Austin. Was in a work truck and my boss called to ask where I was because he heard 35 got shut down due to water over the road north of Waco. I was already to Georgetown by that point so I didn't get stuck but it rained like a bitch all the way back.


Don't think the force field is going to stop this one:
