  1. Awesome. First good laugh in 72+ hours. +rep. I know very little about the organization but I do know the man whose story many of on here have followed since the '15 Wimberly floods, Jonathan McComb, has worked with TEXSAR since that horrific event and serves both on their board and as a volunteer. Not surprisingly, he is on the ground now in Kerville. If it's good enough for him, I suppose it's good enough for me. https://www.texsar.org/donate/ https://www.kiiitv.com/article/news/local/his-family-died-in-a-texas-flood/503-b7bb7fb6-e148-4743-a30a-5d7e1aa131f7
  2. Checking hydromet and others for confirmation, but there appear to be parts of the Hill Country where there has been continuous, nonstop rainfall since 2:30pm on July 3rd. And it’s still raining. Unbelievable.
  3. Those counselors need to have scholarships founded in their name.
  4. Crazy. This reminds me of the floods in 2018 (?) when things went from 20-30% chance of rain overnight to waking up finding out parts of the Hill Country had essentially flooded away overnight.
  5. That was some of the shield’s best work to date. I swear, with the exception of two weeks ago, the FF has been getting increasingly stronger.
  6. Must be nice. Still no power here and our HEB is closed indefinitely. The last few frozen margs are on ice in the Yeti but I doubt they make until morning.
  7. Hi Neighbor. I would be curious too. The way it went from torrential downpour to torrential downpour plus 70mph+ winds in the matter of seconds was incredible to witness. I didn’t get pictures but parts of this neighborhood look as bad as the snowstorm. That was probably the third worst storm I’ve been through in Austin. Only behind 2000 and 28yrs ago yesterday. Hydromet east of here shows 2.3” in about 20mins (and not the good kind). I guarantee it was more than that.
  8. For the second time in as many weeks, we’re going to watch a 500+ mile storm stop about five miles short of Austin aren’t we?
  9. I don’t even know what 100% of rain even means anymore.
  10. Speaking of wait times, up until 2-3 years ago ABIA had an easily accessible link which posted real-time waits of each security check inside the terminal. It was super helpful because, as you know, there's largely no rhyme or reason for much of the security delays at ABIA. 8am on a Monday morning? Two mins tops. 1:15pm on Wednesday? Line out the door and wrapped around to the Blue Lot and TSA pre is 45mins+ and hundreds have missed flights. But somewhere along the way shortly after Covid ABIA took this feature away when they were "updating" the technology and, wouldn't you know it, the feature still is not back up and running. Pretty infuriating.
  11. West Austin checking in with a sollllid .08”. We will rebuild.
  12. New Title: Xavier Worthy - Ch(ok)in’

    Burgers

    Hope you enjoyed your loaf of bread and nine fries
  14. KXAN's forecast for yesterday read like a TexAgs preseason prediction thread.
  15. This show has become such a beating. And as distracting as Common is in each of his scenes, the woman who plays Walker may be the worst actor I’ve ever witnessed.
  16. Christmas is the hottest day on and already warm 14-day forecast. Or course lol
  17. I mean, no, not really? It’s 62° and rainy and the low today will be…56°. Average high on 12/13: 61° Average low on 12/13: 41°
  18. I miss cold Decembers and Januarys. Saturday and Sunday were perfect CenTex winter weather. Cold, rainy, barely making it out of the low 50s…twenty-four hours later, record Austin high. Cool day today, then back to the 70s by mid-week. Overnight lows approaching our average highs. Sure seems like things are trending toward another 80° Christmas.
  19. Kxan currently showing today’s high of EIGHTY THREE as the coolest high temperature for the next week. Sure would be nice if one you would post one of those long-range, 14-21 day models with lots or blues and whites for Central Texas.
  20. That seems like an incredible reach. In fact, I think you would see the exact opposite. Cutting off the vehicular traffic would only further depress these 4-5 blocks. Some of those existing businesses along the stretch would likely immediately begin relocating elsewhere as soon as their leases would allow them to do so.
  21. We were already close and -although I don't think we'll beat it- the tail-end of this summer has us approaching dangerously close to 2007 territory.
  22. I love OddLots but when McGellicott speaks I’m not even certain half the words he’s using are in English.
  23. MIA just CrowdStrike’d this thread with his post
  24. Absolutely zero complaints but it’s been wild the number of days in June and July this year where the wind has been coming in from the N and NE.
