2024 Rain Thread: All Your El Nino Are Belong to Us

[GreenspointTexas 9,598]

Please quit fucking raining

[Biff Tannen 45,661]

App says everything going north, but also severe thunderstorm at 10pm.  Which is it?

[Biff Tannen 45,661]

Oh, thunderstorm at 9:15.  That's what it is.  Batten down the hatches!

[BabaYaga 15,286]

Old man answer to all rain questions is fully engaged:  “we need it”

[InkaUtexas 25,855]

Nice storm in San Marcos. Good steady rain. All the plants are out in it. Fuck yeah.

No.  Please don't.  Summer will be here in no time and we'll be begging for it.

[YChang 3,441]

Yeah, keep raining please. 

[Paper_jam 831]

I love the rain but it'd be nice if my 'hood didn't lose power seemingly every time lightning strikes within a mile of my house. It's like Bluebonnet Electric put up lightning rods that, instead of grounding the strike, feed it directly into critical transformers or switches or something.

strong winds and rain and little bit of hail in Houston, down near Meyerland

[South Austin 52,431]

Worst fog I’ve seen in years in 78759. Visibility couldn’t have been more than 25 yards.

This happened to me driving on 35 back from Dallas at about 5am one time. If there had been a brick wall in front of me 25 yards away I wouldn’t have known. Semis were just blazing through it at 75mph.  I was white-knuckling the steering wheel at like 55 just praying to not get rear ended. 

[Post Oak 20,204]

My house ended with about 1.5 inches in the last week. I'll take it

[texasdago 7,562]

I think we got about 1.5" in the past week based on local rain gauges but we could use more... but honestly, can we fill the lakes, please?

[utee94 15,797]

0.07" at my house for the past week, but congrats to those who got some.  We all need it.

 

[texasdago 7,562]

Update:  Looks like about 1.5" for the month.  F that.

memorial day flood with no deaths and acceptable level of property damage, mkay?

[boknowstecmo 216]

It'll probably rain around 4am tomorrow morning, so we have that to look forward to.

From DFW, co-signed. 

[YGIFS 19,449]

Shit got pretty real there for 20mts here in close-in south Austin.  Seems to be quieting down down but another wave around 7 or 8.

Glad I put down the wet and forget a few days ago on the patio.

1.14" here. In March. In El Nino.

Oh look, we very well could dip below the trend line for rainfall at Mabry:

 

Bergstrom doing better:

About 1 inch here since last night.  

Roughly 2.5 inches in 10 days. I'm happy

I know a guy if you need to patch that hole in the sheet rock.

Austin about to get a small storm cell.

[boknowstecmo 216]

Nice amount of rain out west of us. We'll get something outta this

[Brisketexan 105,043]

Wife just texted that lightning just hit behind one of the houses across the canyon from us (Steck/Mesa area).  Lots of smoke on impact.  Could have hit another house, a tree, who knows, but closer than we've seen.  So, that's fun.

Sorry folks no rain for you, moose out front should've told you

But I see there's one more a-comin'

This time for sure... 

[MissingInAction 25,002]

The sky is green, which gives me hope.

[NorthLoop 14,180]

From the top of a hill in NB looking west. Probably a good idea to take the boy and head home. 

[South Austin 52,431]

I don’t think the heavy stuff is going to come down for quite a while.

[Biff Tannen 45,661]

[atomheartbevo 89,618]

Denton pucker up a bit

 

 

[InkaUtexas 25,855]

looks like a nasty cell out near Fredricksburg.

[SquishMitten 10,403]

^^ Yeah. That got real REAL for a minute there. Looks to have lost a bit of steam pretty quick which is probably a good thing

Some trailer in the SEC is getting flipped in the next 48 hours.

@ROLFbox alert golf ball sized hail in lakeway/bee caves area. 

 

[burntorangebongos 10,710]

I caught about bigger than pea size but not quite grape size hail for about a total of 7 minutes. What kind of damage do you think that did? Does anyone here know? My roof was replaced in 2016.

It moved through pretty quick. Wife's car took a few good dents. 

[burntorangebongos 10,710]

There were 2 bands, I think. I caught about 5 minutes, then it kind of stopped then a 2nd wave lasting about 2 minutes. It turned into just rain at the end.  Fuck. I told the sky to shit or get off the pot with all the dark skies but no rain today. I think I pissed off the weather gods with my insolence. Sorry, assholes!

[MissingInAction 25,002]

Another round incoming

Didn't we do your roof?

 

Pea?  Negligible.  Grape?  Now we're getting interesting.

Golf ball?  😍
