Tropical-like rain in S.Central Tx

#1 Postby Portastorm » Fri Aug 05, 2005 11:09 am

Let's hear it for decaying cold fronts and upper level lows ... got about 3 inches of rain this morning at my house as copious tropical moisture in the form of thunderstorms pounded parts of north Austin/Round Rock/Georgetown. Whoo-hoo!

This is so-weet for July ... enjoy it while we can. :D

I know this weather is crazy. I woke up to cannons this morning, then realized it was thunder :D

Last night the rain, lighting and thunder was CRAZY. Have no clue how much rain P-vile has gotten, but the last three days it has rained.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Now if the electricity would go off and stay off at work, life would be sweeter.... :P

Wow that was alot of rain! 3" in less than an hour. And that was the 3rd big rain in 24 hours - we had a bunch of rain late yesterday and than again around 2 am.

I can see the grass growing :) 2nd year in a row we haven't run the sprinklers ... except for the test run on July 4...

And we did lose power for about 5 minutes ....

Some of that lightning was very very close...

it was "torrential" in the northern parts of Travis County. I know. I drove to work in it and was just amazed. And yeah, lots of lightning!

We should be grateful here in Austin for such mid summer rains.

I can hear the rain at work, and it is making me sleepy. This is the perfect sleeping weather. *sigh* Too bad the boss isn't more understanding about my weather related sleep issues. :lol:

Instant Reply for us in Austin today!

Torrential rains at lunchtime. Parts further north between Temple and Waco have been hammered last 2 days with nearly 10 inches of rain in places. I hear parts of I-35 are under water further north. Yikes!

Well, for August this is remarkable! :)

I need to break out the water wings... it just keeps on raining!

But the yard sure is green. And 70F in August ... in Austin at noon? Unbelievable.
