we've received a little rain here in Austin in the last week and looks like more might be coming down from the Hill Country this afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed ...

ROFL! Somehow I knew YOU would be the one to pick up on that Duckie!

[Swimdude]

I was baffled by watching that flood advisory roll across the bottom of TWC yesterday.

Uh... I think we got more than 'a little more' but it was nice to see the yard get some water we didn't have to pay for!

[Portastorm]

hey 'shana ... indeed it was "a little more" wasn't it?!

[Shoshana]

Yup. Here we had horizontal gully washer rain from the east. Then changed to 45 degree angle from the south, then from the west. There was hail reported near here but I didn't see any. Did see the out door thermometer go from 103 to 78 in just a few minutes tho!

And our power flickered 5 times...

But stayed on in the end.

It's 6am and the severe weather is rolling through again. Might be a long day.

Well dang, Kat ... y'all wanted the rain didn't you?

You Houstonians do things in a BIG way!

[KatDaddy]

Yes!!!!!! The rain is welcomed. So far 3.5" in the last 2 days in my rain gauge.

More to come.

[vbhoutex]

Yes!!!!!! The rain is welcomed. So far 3.5" in the last 2 days in my rain gauge.

More to come.

I wish I had had that much. My guage says less than an inch, but I haven't sloshed out to see if it is vapor lock mode again. The yard sure says more than that and the amount and intensity of the rain tell me it is more but I need to check the guage first. None of the Weatherbug sites near me seem to be working on the rain guages so I can't rely on them either.

Any way we look at it though WE LOVE THE RAIN!!!!
