2022 Rain Thread

[Guest]

Oh, and in addition to Austin forcefield, there is some major exaggeration on radars. Yellow means it is actually raining. Anything less is just bullshit.

The event is not over, gentlemen.

I've learned its like the OU game. If you don't jump in the lead early, then you're toast. And right now I'm down 21-0 in the first quarter.

Depending on which team you are, this is not insurmountable…

Yeah radar has shown green or even yellow over my house for the past 30 minutes.

Not one single drop.

So everyone knows where to go once we get our pitchforks:

[Mighty fine 169]

Solid rain for the last half hour at westgate/290

[smwhorn 481]

Been pouring in Clarksville for at least half an hour.  Closer to an hour probably.  Still coming down with consistent lightning.

Southwest 78628 here. It's pissing a bit, but it's dark and lots of lightening. Hopefully this is just the foreplay. 

Looks like I'm going home with blue balls. Street and sidewalks are already bone dry.

I’m near jollyville and it had to be more than a tenth or two.  I don’t believe that map. 

[Footballpants 121]

Not a drop thus far in the ‘46. Think I’ll take the convertible Bentley for a spin around the 360 HEB Parking lot and ogle some Westlake MILFs.

I am too... and 0.03"

[Jiggy-Z 3419]

For those of you that got zero rain, remember that this is not over and you could get 3 times what you have already gotten.

Drizzling just a bit, like a half-hearted handjob.

Come on, sky.  Let's fuck.

It’s been a nice steady rain in my ‘hood for a while. This is excellent, and should turn the grass from burnt to toasted.

[texasdago 7376]

Nearly an inch in the rain gauge and can visually confirm it was ballin' outside...

[NAVY 6596]

Lovely flying termites are erupting from the ground. Can’t we just have some nice fucking rain without weird bug bull shit ?

If you're actually getting rain today then you shut your whore mouth about anything else.  You'll get termites and like it.

[Hate 20037]

Skies erupted for about 10 minutes here. We got about half an inch in that time.

[irishtexan 11413]

It feels fucking AWESOME outside.

Also, happening right now:

[ultimaton 2926]

Still raining here, though I can see blue sky on the horizon I guess I'm nearing the end of it for today. 1.73" and counting according to my weather station.

Green and yellow just means it dropped below 100 degrees.

raining and blowing hard in 77056.  building power just went out and all the UPSes are going nuts.

I'd be super happy with a Round 1!

No.

A second round is coming. Probably not as widespread as the first. But some people will get more.  But...

...Every day for the next 6-7 has a good shot of rain, some days excellent shot.

I'll be back if/when.

He's a bad teammate.

You guys aren't gonna believe the 7 day forecast.  Holy shit.

Later.

[4th&Five 41055]

David Yoeman’s just said 4 to 6 inches over the next 7 days. 

Edited August 18, 2022 by 4th&Five

[Ten Bears 2436]

2" in Brushy Creek. Very gruntled.

[Wiler77 1539]

Grand total of 0.0 inches in Driftwood.  Fuck everything.

Well I got a whopping 0.01" of rain today, so I'm pretty thrilled at the thought of septupling that to ring in a massive 0.07" for the whole week!

I'll tell you something, this is no longer a drought.  It's a quest.  A quest for rain!  I'm gonna get rain and you're gonna get rain. We're all gonna get so much fucking rain we're gonna need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles.  We're gonna be whistling Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah out of our assholes.   Hallelujah!  Holy Shit!  Where's the Tylenol?

Underwhelmed puts it mildly.
