2018 Rain Thread

[UnivTex34 1763]

Power outage in south Austin. Supposed to be another hour. Gonna be testing my tethering limit with att to watch football.

[Biff Tannen 45477]

Lake in my backyard in 78751.

[Modessit 5595]

Rain gauge was showing 1.81" since midnight when I left the house just a bit ago. Still a little drizzle in the 24. Seems to be dying out.

[jimmyjazz 45513]

LCRA is showing 1.5" in our neighborhood.  I'm a little surprised it's that low.  Seems like it's been pretty steady for the last 12 hours or so.

[deadshank 24651]

The depth at our lower water crossing on the Frio below Hwy 90 went from Sahara to 12.6 feet in an hour.  Gonna have to rebuild the bank drive slopes again.  Crazy seeing full grown, up rooted trees floating by at 15 MPH

[GreenspointTexas 9556]

Houston getting 10 inches in the last hour pretty much

[RiceOwl 74]

Feels like it’s been raining for a week straight in Dallas.

[troph 24548]

Will be two weeks here if this holds true

Our High School football game was cancelled last week due to weather. It looks like there is another chance of cancellation due to thunderstorms this coming Friday.

[South Austin 52037]

It will never rain sun again.

[miguelito 11204]

Been raining all day in NW SA.  Plus my yard and your mom got 4" yesterday.

[staboner 4955]

coolest and wettest early Sept I can ever remember. Usually this is Octobery weathers

[LongestHorn 759]

Nice to walk around Austin in 77 degree air in the afternoon.  Lake levels on the rise.

We have turned off the AC and left the windows open.

Some cows have found some flat rocks in central Austin. 

[utee94 15742]

Gonna have to drive the kids to school this morning.  Man that drop-off line sucks.

 

Doesn't matter, got rain.

My wife is reporting that the grass is growing pretty good now, and I'm not there to cut it, so she might have to get someone to do it.

See, the problem here is, y'all seem to think that she's banging only one guy.

Rookie mistake.

Just leave me a tip, fuckers.  Just a tip.

Oh, no sir.   No doubt of that.  I was just making it clear that I am not the yard guy.

Latest rainfall guestimates for the next week.  

 

[Anastasis 23375]

whoa, carolinas gonna take the full length. 

[South Austin 52037]

[Wally Pryor 5240]

Just a nice, steady downpour in 04 right now.  As has been for a few days now - no thunder, lightning, hail, wind, none of that.  Just glorious rain. 

More to come.  Bring it on.   Was down at Twin Falls yesterday and it's flowing nicely. 

[Anastasis 23375]

we got sunshine and blue skies breaking through now over the lake. 

[Bevo Num1 1004]

Latest rainfall guestimates for the next week.  
 

That tropical system forming in the Gulf is going balls deep in the Coastal Bend.

[miguelito 11204]

And the coastal bend rivers and streams are starting to get a lot of the upstream runoff from the last week of rain. 

[atomheartbevo 89362]

Dark Sky says we are about to get another round of rain here in Austin soon.

glad the 100-degree days are gone.

[Felix 598]

Got 1.25 inches in Manchaca yesterday in about 2 hours.  Heard about 4 thunderclaps.  Unfortunately one of them was across the street and blew the fuse on my transformer so power was out for about an hour.  Full credit to PEC for getting there quickly and fixing it.  Alas, my Uverse modem was fried so I'm without internet or TV until the new box arrives tomorrow.

Also scared the living shit out of my wife, kids, and dogs.  Startled me a bit too.

[mchookem 16095]

phd, requesting some advice...we have a Port A trip planned next weekend,  9/20... it looks like that entire area may be drowned by this time next week... am i interpreting that right??

[Hate 20102]

You dont need to be Frankie to know that is a bad idea.

[mchookem 16095]

yeah, we already rescheduled

[Ten Bears 2478]

Gonna have to break down and mow my yard in the mud I guess, compaction be damned.

My lawn crew took care of that for me yesterday.  I have no idea whether or not they suffered from this "compaction" but if they had any problems, I assume my butler compensated them appropriately.

  

[Dewey 3280]

Over 16" of rain for Galveston, most of it, maybe all of it, the past 5 or 6 days.

Sorry, I've been completely occupied in house fixin' up stuff in D.C., haven't had much time to do weather shit except talk about that thar hurry-cane.

I don't think P.A. is going to be so bad.  Today/tomorrow, you'll know.

That invest that worried so many people didn't even really close circulation, so it's not going to be a tropical storm type thing.  I think it's moved onto land anyway now.  Doesn't mean of course it'll be no big deal but if it keeps moving, might be pretty doable next week.|

The system is supposed to run off to the NW and get into Big Bend/Mexico territory.  The only worries are today/tomorrow.

I'd probably go if I were in your shoes, but at least you'll know by Sunday if it's a bad deal.  I doubt it.
 

[Biff Tannen 45477]

Raining again.  Traffic is going to be awesome today.

[Chet Steadman 940]

It look like we are going to finish with around 14 or 15 days in a row of rainfall.  That’s pretty freaking impressive   

Curious as to to how many times over the past 10-20 years that’s happened in Austin.  

[miguelito 11204]

This is already the 3rd wettest September in SA (since your mom moved away).  I think 3 more inches would take the record (another mom joke here).

You would have been fine. We flooded pretty bad last night but it’s already receded and the disturbance is moving out of the area. Sad thing is that some of the places that were damaged in Harvey flooded again.
