These rapid drought/flood condition swings are going to become the norm as time goes on in the south and southeast. It's just the nature of rising average temperatures in the region.

Thanks Al Gore. I assume this hurricane is the result of climate change?

They all are. The weather channel archives contain no record of them reporting on any hurricanes prior to 1982.

Good rain to fill up Caballo and Elephant Butt!

---

Crazy amount of water running toward elephant butte. It's massive though, so we will see if it fills up

---

Elephant Butte has almost 2 million acre-feet of capacity available before it fills up. This storm is not going to fill it up and little if any of that flow will be seen below EB.

The last few months have been the stuff you'd see in a Roland Emmerich movie. The earth is changing into something a bit more hostile to our survival. I don't necessarily think it's human caused.

---

2023 was bad too so it was 2011. This isn't really new. We're just having a really dry year. Hell I remember the heat wave of 1981.

The /s is a "sarcasm tag" to let people know you aren't serious. The OAC tag is a joke about her habit of cherry picking a dataset or source to match her narrative even if it is totally unrelated or inadequate to support her position.

I'll be happy to turn off my sprinkler system tonight. My yard is barely hanging on and my water bill was over $400 last month.

---

Wasting water on grass is idiotic. I've never understood this thought process.

The grass will come back. It always does.

---

That's incorrect. It will die and leave bare spots, especially when there's no rain and your city is under water restrictions.

---

Nahhh, it comes back. It always does.

I lost a large crepe myrtle

At least something good came of the drought!

My wife would throat punch you for that comment.

Second only to the Bradford Pear in the trash tree department.

---

Not even close vato.

Why the hate for crepe myrtles? I like mine, low maintenance, gives me pretty flowers a couple of times a year. Only complaint I have is when I trim the chutes off the bottom of the trunk if I don't immediately put tree seal on where I cut them I'll have to repeat the process again in a month or so, like I'm about to have to do now because I got lazy last time I trimmed.

As far as trash trees -

Tallow, Chinaberry, Saltcedar and Mulberry are way worse and way trashier. I'd put bradford pear after those, so it's top 5. Crepe Myrtle isn't on the list IMO.

Good thing there is a metric crap ton of water already flowing below EB that will make it south a ways.

Don't know but it rained hard all the way from Phoenix to Deming, NM. I think northern Arizona is supposed to get good rains which would help.

Gila river going to be interesting

It's snowing today in Coconino County in northern Arizona.

well so far a big nothing burger here in Grapevine

If you just put in another mask, you'll be good.

My wife and were laughing about the "Flood Watch" all over the TV screen last night. No rain is expected until late tonight where we are. Nobody was actually on flood watch last night.

I get that they want people to pay attention, but that's just a Boy Who Cried Wolf warning. People start to tune it all out because of the ridiculous hyperbole.

Weather is still weather. Be prepared and pay attention. The world is not ending.

With no hurricanes to report about, they can't preach to you about getting supplies, or evacuations, or "hunker down" so they have had to turn to possible flooding or heavy rains. If they don't get enough of that, next will be 24 hour reporting on heavy dew.

Poured down rain on top of Lake Belton for maybe four minutes. Freshman Lake v Heights game in Harker Heights was delayed.

Then………Nothing.

Hope I wake up to something different.

Don't know how it's going at your location, but after making more than a couple of eye-rolls on the flood predictions I have to admit this rainy spell has been great for our yard. Slow soaker without a lot of run off. Grass is turning green again!

Multiple times.

3.3" since Thursday morning. Barely any water in the bar ditches because it came down so slow and it hasn't rained in two months. This is exactly what we needed.

LCRA has opened some gates on Starke and Wirtz dams, but Lake Travis has plenty of room.

This was a big nothing burger. We got 2.5" in the hill country.

Weather people need to allow for next day call-in to their program and heckling.

4.61" near Waco, it's rained for about 22 hours this week according to my weather station.

About 1.5" at lake Cisco. Grateful but we need some flash flooding to fill her up.

4.7in. Metro area

Very slow going and constant, lazy rainfall. Very pleasant all around tbh. No crazy downpours meant no crazy flooding in my near area that I heard about or could see.
