  1. I got a lot of questions for the meteorologists who have 0% chance of rain in their forecast and then it rains 1.5” with golfball sized hail
  2. Yea, can Yeomans or Jim log on here and explain to us what in the world changed these past days? All we’ve heard was the well-below-average, wetter-than-normal May/early June would buffer temps for at least several weeks then boom, 3-4 days later we’re getting blasted by endless August blastfurnace and talking about a potential week+ of records. What’s happening?
  3. This show has taken a hard turn toward the extremely average the past 3-4 episodes. The only real enjoyable parts have been the last five or so minutes then rinse and repeat every episode.
  4. The lowest number in the entire state is directly over the Highland Lakes watershed
  5. Is there a way we can get something on the ballot this upcoming November to have the good citizens of Austin unvote this boondoggle?
  6. I love me some @phdhorn but I’m a big fan of this only-comes-out-during-big-events thing he’s got going on. Quite mysterious /LinusCaldwell he’s become our Jim Spencer of Surly.
  7. Have only watched the first episode but looking forward to nine more eps of wall-to-wall Rebecca Ferguson
  8. Lake Travis be in baaadd shape right now. 637' before the summer even starts is no bueno.
  9. That small gap in the sea of yellows and reds is headed straight for Central Austin. You'll get nothing and you'll like it
  10. If there's a light breeze my backyard suddenly looks like falling yellow snow. And it's not piss. But at this rate, I kinda wish it was.
  11. Been here my whole life and can’t remember seeing this much pollen floating in the air and on the ground. And thanks to last months ice storm, it’s with significantly less oaks too
  12. CoA/AISD sent out one text message and phone call for each minute of rain this storm produced
  13. Six phone calls since last night here. Three on the cell, three at work along with separate texts and emails to both phones. I'm guessing CoA just hired some new up-and-comer from Scranton, PA who is looking to make a splash.
  14. The primary reason our family doesn’t go there. Probably the worst alcohol-to-drink ratio in the city
  15. Paging @Stannis for some good naval talk
  16. Both the British rap duo and Punx Phil on WU brought the lols
  17. Northwest Hills looks like an F3 tornado ripped through it. Several streets, and wide ones at that, are still impassable. I know until yesterday people were comparing this to 2007 but after last night this has to be the worst 1-2 ice storms in our history, right?
  18. So Crown is allegedly open, can we get a report on some of the other local burger and Mexi places around town? Billy’s on Burnet? Y Mas? Eldorado? Seems like the collective here may need some warm food and strong drinks while the roads are relatively clear.
  19. Hello neighbors. I thought our house had it the worst in the neighborhood but we just saw this one a few streets down…they win. Or lose. Sucks. Allandale and NW Hills took a beating
  20. How does home insurance typically work with downed trees? Do most policies cover events like this one? I've generally just had our landscaper take care of the work out-of-pocket during similar incidents however we have extensive damage this time around and I'm wondering if it may be worth having insurance take a look. Easily $4-5k+ in removal upcoming.
  21. This is the type of post which makes our Austin City Council and $300k/yr bike czar feel like heroes. Job well done everybody
  22. We covering/dripping pipes for this one or nah?
  23. FOX needs to move Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen to the radio and promote Harlan and Kurt Warner to the booth for these prime games. neither Kevin or Greg have the big time announcer voices
  24. Looks like TCU is getting the band back together. The S&C coach, Kendal, who else? Gross. Enjoy that eventual trainwreck. And when did we all forget about the hiring of Casey freakin' Horney around here?
