  1. But Lake Travis does! Up to 658.6, so now it's 21' up and still rising, if much slower. LCRA reports that flood operations at Wirtz and Starcke have concluded for the time being.
  2. Buchanan just hit 1011.53 so it's officially over 9' up, and Travis hit 657.6 so it's now an official 20' up, since 8 AM on 7/4.
  3. Sugar begins to caramelize at 311 and burns at 350. That's another reason folks like to smoke at 225, very little risk of burning any sugar in the rub or in a glaze.
  4. Completely agree, would have loved to see them release it at the chronologically appropriate time in the MCU, which I believe was in between Civil War and Infinity War.
  5. I think you're right, and I also don't think it helped that Natasha was already dead after Endgame. I enjoyed the movie but my kids who'd loved the entire MCU up to that point, had no desire to see Black Widow because "she's already dead, dad. What's the point?"
  6. Yeah I suspect that will be enough to get them to open up floodgate operations at Wirtz.
  7. Streamflows in the 2K-5K range tend to move the lake by inches. It takes streamflows in the 20K+ range like we saw on Saturday, to move it by multiple feet, especially the closer we get to 680. It has substantially tapered off since its peak 2 days ago despite some heavy rains yesterday. But, there's still quite a bit of rain out there. It would be great to see LT hit 660 or even greater, as a result of all of this. It's gone up 1/10th just in the time we've been discussing it this morning.
  8. Sure hope so, I wouldn't complain.
  9. Heavy rain firing back up in the highland lakes basin, north and west of Austin. Lake Travis now up 19.3 feet since 8 AM Friday to a level of 656.9, and Lake Buchanan up 8.6 feet to a level of 1,011.17. I'd predicted around a 20' rise for Travis but I was really hoping it'd get all the way to 660. It could still go up a few inches or a foot over the next few days, but I don't think it'll quite hit 660 now.
  10. Gauges at Hamilton Creek and Big Sandy are still borked, but Cow Creek is operating. This one was down to 1 cfs just a couple hours ago, now rising again, currently at 1.27K cfs. Yesterday it peaked at 57K and at some point during that event, is when the bridge at 1431 and Cow Creek washed out..
  11. Heavy rain falling again in the areas north of Lake Travis that flooded yesterday. Rainfall totals are past 3 hours.
  12. Eh, go fuck yourself.
  13. You should probably just take a break for a while. Seriously, you're better than this. Usually.
  14. What are you talking about? There's a specific DT thread for news about the event. It's right here: As for the rest of your bullshit statement, you have no idea what I think or feel.
  15. I'm confused by this post from you. You have been suggesting all day to split the discussion of the tragedy/ongoing rescue efforts/fallout/aftermath onto a different thread, because this is the rain thread. And that is the appropriate action and there's now a DT thread for the news about the sad and tragic event itself. There's plenty of news discussion that can be had that isn't (necessarily) CR material, but it's still off topic for THIS thread. Which is exactly what I've been saying for the past 2 days, and what you've been saying today.
  16. Word. Except in the face of overwhelming catastrophic force like the past few days, my bet is always on the Austin FF. It is a power unto itself.
  17. What is this, a slice for ANTS?? (looks good)
  18. Hey now, there are quite a few F1 fans on this board, the F1 thread is one of the lengthier ones on the Other Sports board, and several of us have chimed in on this thread with positive reviews of the movie. I don't recall THIS guy posting on the F1 thread so I wouldn't say he's an F1 super fan at all.
  19. Lake Travis up to 654' which means up about 16.5' since 8 AM yesterday. The gauges on Hamilton and Big Sandy creeks have been pegged at the exact same numbers for most of the day so I'd assume they're broken/non-functional. Still, Cow Creek has tracked up and down with the rains, and there's more coming in from the north, so I'd expect they'll continue to flow rapidly and be unsafe for the foreseeable future. And Lake Buchanan finally on the move, up 3' from 8 AM yesterday with the river still running around ~73K cfs above Colorado Bend.
  20. This is the RAIN thread. You're a complete fucking idiot if you think this thread needs to "tell it like it is" about political posturing. Awesome. Go talk about all of the politics on the CLOAK ROOM thread about this.
  21. Bull. Fucking. Shit. There's no need to discuss a political press conference on the RAIN thread. You wanna know the right place to discuss your feelings about a political press conference. It's the fucking CLOAK ROOM you dipshits.
  22. Two weeks? Mansfield? I'll take that bet. The top 20' of Lake Travis are... massive. This is what it's made for.
  23. I disagree completely. People are venting their anger not just about this event but about party politics in general. Just look at the comments from all of the usual suspects about "which team" is responsible. I'm angry about it too but that's not what this thread is. There are current ongoing rain events. That's what this thread is.
