Starting Tuesday our rain chances are 40% or more for 5 days.  Fingers crossed.  Our grass (lol) is like walking across broken glass.

Fuck him and his doomsday prediction for this summer that I said from the jump was complete and utter shit.  

[Larry T. Spider 1747]

Solid shower this morning in Round Rock. Great addition to yesterday’s rain. I always assume August will be completely dry so any rain is a surprise.

Looks like the world's about to end outside my office window. Was planning to grab lunch off campus today, but may reconsider if it starts storming as hard as it looks like it's getting ready to.

He did not come back to answer. Maybe he did. But did not specify the campus so we may never know. University of Panama had a lot of rain today. UT Austin? Does not look like it.

Just a bit. Got super dark. Rained hard for about 10 minutes, then light rain for maybe 20 minutes after that. Streets are already dried up.

So rain decided to wash the cow shit smell out west and say fuck the rest of Texas?

[Biff Tannen 46060]

I got drizzled on during my hike out at Steiner today. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

We got almost an hours' worth of rain last night in Zapata Co.  What a welcome surprise.

I'm out in my hometown at my deceased parents' house and just drove my sister over to the Midland airport for her flight back to Denver. The one-hour drive back from the airport took almost two.

The rain is pretty heavy and constant. It's been coming down almost constantly for the past several hours on top of heavy rains earlier this weekend. So, the flooding is starting to get close to biblical over in Midland-Odessa because it's so flat and there's nowhere for the water to go.

At least here, it's fairly hilly but the creek you have to pass over with a small bridge to get into the neighborhood where I grew up looks like it's getting full and might soon top the road. So far as I know, that kind of flooding hasn't happened here since the mid-1980s when I was starting high school, and Clifford Antone organized a flood-relief concert for the community featuring Stevie Ray Vaughan, Willie Nelson, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds from the local federal prison where he was serving out his sentence.

Edit: Just found the poster for that event.

We had a three day weekend with the kids home, so of course it will rain hard tomorrow around 7:30am, and then around 3pm.

Maybe you shoudl wash your car. Water the lawn overnight. Plan to go to the river tomorrow.

Don't feel bad, we got nothing north of you.
