Received this from a buddy at BRA:
And that is only the upper Brazos basin, doesn't account for the lower end of the watershed either. Amazing.

If you'd like to visualize how much rain we've received lately, here's some interesting data the Directors of the Brazos River Authority received from the staff today regarding mandated releases from certain BRA reservoirs.
From January 1st through June 2nd of this year:
Possum Kingdom Lake has released a little over 910,000 acre-feet water downstream
Lake Granbury has released a little over 1.25 million acre-feet of water, and
Lake Limestone has released just under 470,000 acre-feet of water.
For PK, this amount of water would fill the reservoir from empty to full almost two times.
The amount of water released from Lake Granbury during this period would fill that reservoir from empty to full over nine times.
At Lake Limestone, the water released during this period would fill Lake Limestone from empty to full over two times.
And that is only the upper Brazos basin, doesn't account for the lower end of the watershed either. Amazing.
And every one of those areas have seen minimal flooding...
But you gotta keep it full so people can take a boat out and sell cheap water for lawns in Dallas.
But yes, unfortunately it has been biblical for several years.

They are used for a little more than boats and lawns.
And that water goes downstream.....to places that have seen more than minimal flooding.
They've released enough water to fill those reservoirs multiple times over... the heck are they supposed to do with it? Even if they weren't there that water would be coming downstream.

Those releases are above the normal flow rate releases. Approx 3MM acre feet of water is not a small amount.
Crazy storm in Austin right now. The winds are incredible.

Dallas got a bunch of it earlier. It's pretty rough over there, lots of power outages.
Holy smokes that storms last night hit us around 1 am. Wife comes back in the house this morning and tells me umm our shed isn't outside anymore.
Neighbors pool? On your roof? Down the street? Don't leave us hanging!Aggie_3 said:

It's not inside is it?

We live out in the country south of Seguin and I had one of those heavy duty plastic sheds from Home Depot to store feed buckets and smaller equipment and that wind last night took the walls and roof away into neighbors pasture. It would have been a nightmare if we lived in a neighborhood.
Good thing is it was always a temporary solution but now I have to focus on the permanent solution.
Lots of lightning early this morning. Little over an 1" in DeWitt.
It wasn't blue, was it?Aggie_3 said:

(Reference to Jeff Piotrowski storm chasing)
If it was blue, it likely wouldn't have budged.
Agree. I may paint mine blue.
2 3/4 inches for Gause, TX
3 inches
Between Waco and mcgregor

2.6" Central College Station
1 inch central Bastrop county. Perfect for our hay patches.
Over 2 1/2 inches at the ranch near Gatesville last night with 3 feet of thunder and lightning. No electricity = no water.
I hope the people driving with their hazards on in the rain get food positioning.

I (barely) saw many driving without any lights at all. The hazards made it worse.

What position, like sticking Coney Island Grill up their ass?

RGV got slammed hard last night. Hope y'all are safe and above water. Saw reports of 8-9" and major flooding, especially in Harlingen.
Looks like Tuesday commute in Houston similar to yesterday but opposite direction.
About to rain hard here I think. Lightening just hit about a half mile away from my office, pretty impressive bolt.
It was just starting to get somewhat dry enough here that you didn't need 4x4 to go places not on pavement. That's at an end again after these rounds of storms. Glad I made a trip to the lease this past weekend before this garbage hit.

Mexican side is a great big mess. I think like 3 people died in flooding. There are now about 2.2 million people on the Mexican side of the RGV, some say more, if a big ass slow moving TS or hurricane makes its way here the disaster that is going to take place on the Mexican side is going to epic as they have no way of dealing with it. It is not a question of if, it is a question of when. Talk about a mass exodus across the river, wait till that happens.
Local weather guy said zero chance today, Thursday, after 7am. Total monsoon from Conroe to College Station. Good thing we didn't have like 40% chance.
Weird system blew through...rain on a tin roof puts me to sleep.
This whole system looks weird, looks like it is swirling around central to south Texas?
Very wet summer for San Antonio.
