House down the street appears to have taken a lightening hit. Power been out for a while now.

Strugglin' to sprinkle like an old man with a swollen prostate in the '45.

Kept power in 78759 (I’m on Pedernales), but my lake house in Hudson Bend (on City of Austin) lost power.

You poor thing.

[Anastasis 23724]

Power came back on. And then went out 15 seconds later. Nice work Austin energy.

More than a few of us had to suffer from a manservant washing our arses with one hand whilst holding a flashlight with the other after a trip to the commode.

Does your watch tell time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad?

No, but it does tell the time simultaneously in the 78759 and 78734 zip codes. 

[Orange&White 5573]

I'm still trying to figure out where in 78759 gets PEC? 

Down along Old Spicewood?

 

Edit: I found it.

Just got back from the Low Latitudes... judging by my lawn, rain was available.

Still no 100° day and here it is July 9.
(nojinx and it might get there apparently one of next 2 days).

Wow.

[jimmyjazz 47265]

I'm trying to decide whether it's finally time to turn on the sprinklers.  What's the feeling on more late afternoon dustups like we had yesterday?  My yard's pretty happy today, so if I can keep it that way on Mother Nature's tab I'm all for it.  

I'm not optimistic that Tropical Event Florabama will make it all the way to Austin.

What was the record? Didn’t you say it hasn’t done this in 50 years?

[phdhorn 6225]

Sort of (didn't say for sure but I said possibly)... however I wasn't quite right, but sorta close...

Just found this tonight... years with no 100 degree temps since Austin has kept records:
1987, 1979, 1975, 1973, 1968, 1919, 1908, 1907, 1906, 1904

So that's four in the last 50 years... and notice the huge gap in between the five years on each bookend... interesting.

All the scooter use is lowering carbon emmissions here.

Austin’s area about to take it hard and deep.

Looks like it's falling apart - but going to stay together enough in the highland lakes, which is a good outcome. I'd be glad to be wrong and see it hold together all the way through Travis County.

yeah, i hope that you are right. the one off to the northeast looks to be breaking up as well. 

[Trey3216 15452]

That birch went just west of me in Hewitt.  Nice lightning show though.  Hopefully the one that hit Cedar Creek will get my grass a drink.

Nvm. Looks like that shit gon miss too. Furk

[Zepol87 9343]

Shit was crazy in DFW earlier. Left Carrollton in a downpour and lighting everywhere. Had a softball game and soccer game in Northeast Dallas and not a sprinkle

[hornian 5299]

Wind in 78759 is crazy right now. No rain though.

You are looking live at the Austin Force Field in full effect.

The dog would have been in my lap half an hour ago if this was going to turn into anything.

Should start our own weather prediction channel on youtube.

[freyguy 4368]

This is some serious bullshit 

[Modessit 5667]

It was raining at my house about 10 minutes ago. I can still hear thunder.

[Zavala 1384]

"piece of shit won't break"

lol wut

 

[Machinator 32103]

Dammit Frankie, could have used a heads up that the skies were going to open up today.

[bolverk 30362]

Sounds like Chet's mom pissing on a flat rock out there!

[Hate 20250]

We had a nice downpour for about an hour and got 4 inches of rain. The pool has been cooled off too!

[Updawg 2387]

Just got .75" in 78749

Not a damn drop in 78731.

[Biff Tannen 46192]

Yeah that came out of nowhere.

It was the rain shower equivalent of a shart.

[phdhorn 6225]

Expected (chances of rain at 50% today).  One of Barry's bands.  No surprise.

[Hate 20250]

The next 10 days look to be favorable for keeping this summer "cooler" than normal.

[phdhorn 6225]

Cool front coming through - probably - next Tuesday.  Not too often we see that now.  But it's 1) weak, will drop temps maybe 7-8 degrees for a day or so, and 2) is not guaranteed to make it through.

Still, it'll provide the lift for widespread rain mid-next week.  Or so it looks...

[Moby Ric 2058]

YOU LIE!!!  

signed,

my yard

[HOOKEM4 5178]

I havent watered the yard once this year and it is green as hell.

[Moby Ric 2058]

I clearly don't live in the same place you do. 

[Orange&White 5573]

I was just noticing the front part of the yard getting a little bit light. I might turn the sprinkler system on this weekend to make sure everything is still working to get ready  to run them next week. If the rain mentioned above materializes, I’ll wait another week. 

Not having to water until late July in Austin is something we should all celebrate .

You're probably sitting on top of a dormant volcano.

We should get some good rain from that hurricane that is going to hit Corpus the 1st week of August.
