2023 Rain Thread


South Austin

Recommended Posts

Last time I remember was that storm that rolled through here last March and dropped the Round Rock tornado. There was a small High area and we were in the bullseye.
That tornado was half a mile from us. We were watching the warnings on KXAN and only after the tornado passed did we realize we were watching on a half hour delay. Thanks TiVo.

The super outbreak of 1974 happened April 3-4, just a few days after March. March is on average the 5th busiest tornado month of the year.

There was a super outbreak in March of 2012.

There was one as recently as 2021.

So heartbreaking. This is very much like that 1974 tornado season. From reading about it. I remember reading about a massive one that hit Wichita Falls but can remember the year. 

That damage path (above Tweet) my goodness. Is this the same tornado that hit Palestine Illinois last night?

What a difference a day makes:

Ah yeah, doing the thing it always does. One week out, it's a huge bath for the entire area that's in a bad drought... and as it gets closer the rain moves farther south and east... with the difference between getting 0.25" nothing burger and badly needed 2-3" being a 30 mile band situated right over Austin. 

I predict instead of the 2-3" currently shown as a possibility we get a half inch and that's it. Every fucking time.

Exactly. Just checked the history of my weather station.

March: 1.24"
Feb: 1.30"
Jan: 0.98"
Dec: 1.38"

Less than five inches of rain in the past four months. Fucking ridiculous.
