NINE INCHES OF RAIN?!

[crispini]

Holy cats! Nine inches of rain in Arlington! :scared:

Don't drive into the high water, friends.

1. And Dallas is getting punded again right now

We severely need the rain down here in S Texas.

[crispini]

2. Sorry, apparently we are hogging it all.

I'd send you some if I could! White Rock Lake spillway looks like freaking Niagara Falls. We're dry too but we didn't really want it ALL AT ONCE. :D

10. My front yard looks like Lake Granbury!

3. Feast or famine

or more colloquially, sugar or shit...

4. What you have to make the rest of us feel like lepers ?

We've gotten like 1/3" here in central Texas (Austin)... *grrrrrrr

5. Can't we send some of this rain to Hondo?

We've got plenty in the D/FW area - I wonder how many inches we've received since January 1?

12. 10.46 inches at DFW since Jan 1

D/FW Airport, the region’s official recording station, has logged 10.46 inches since Jan. 1, quite a bit above the 6.27 inches that would be the norm. But Moller warned that it was not enough to call an end to the prolonged drought that has plagued the region since early 2005.

6. Then a freeze expected mid-week

High's in the 50's, lows in the 30's....

News just said 10+ inches over in the Garland/Mesquite area and there is more rain expected tonight.

7. We're under a tornado warning right now.

According to the nonstop coverage on television, we're right under a potential tornado right now. Staying downstairs until this passes. Yikes!

8. Take care! This is such typical Texas weather.

:(

Report back!

[Longhorn]

9. Thanks, Muse!

It is settling down out there. Some hail and strong winds and lots of rain but no tornado. The power didn't even go out. It's still raining but the storm itself has passed to the east over southern Travis County.

Hang on, Neighbors! :hi:

[Why Syzygy]

11. Anyone in Austin getting hail?

There are reports. Any verification?

13. The fashion choice for Dallas on Sunday? Tactical BDUs...

I was wearing a tactical jacket and trousers along with some cheap but reliable combat boots yesterday. Yes, I got soaked along with the rest of you, but the good news is that BDUs don't cling to your skin when wet. Wheeeeeee!!
