#1 - Too early for a fertilizer OR a pre-emergent
#2 - NEVER apply them at the same time. Waste of $. Preemergent goes out around March 1 and fertilizer only when the grass is actively growing.

Oh trust me I know. Poor guy probably thought he as getting a jump start before the rain.

Looks like someone may float away tonight

Around 2" or so in Benbrook

2 inches in Lewisville. Plenty of thunder.

I think it's a mating signal that dumb***es use to find each other in bad weather...kind of like lightning bugs

Haven't they heard of Tinder... or Grinder (if that's their thing)?

It's amazingly moronic. People can't be sure if you are stationary or going to move. Your turn signals are useless. Came up on some idiot doing this at a red light. I had no idea what their intentions were. Pure idiocy,

In a torrential downpour, my experience is that some people will slow down to a reasonable speed, others (typically brodozers) carry on driving 80. I don't want someone plowing into the back of me because I've chosen to slow down and they think they should continue going 80, so i'll throw the hazards on in that situation to make sure it's getting their attention. I guess I don't see how it's much different than if there's a car having mechanical problems and driving slow on a highway trying to make it home or an exit and they have their hazards on, I appreciate it as it identifies they are driving slow and a potential hazard. In my opinion a car driving on a highway at significantly reduced speeds presents a greater hazard than a car pulled over on the shoulder. While other drivers should expect you to be driving at reduced speeds during a downpour, experience and bros, show otherwise.

I can maybe see if you see someone in your rear-view coming up fast doing it temporarily to grab their attention but should not be on the entire drive....

It looked like an emergency scene in front of me the entire drive with EVEYRONE flashing their hazards....if everyone does it, are you actually making yourself more noticeable or....i would say...the "everyone flash hazards" makes the road FAR MORE hazardous as you can't tell what people are doing....

Agreed and this was more to what I was speaking about, if you're now in bumper to bumper traffic you don't need to have you hazards on.

It disables the brake lights and turn signals in most vehicles and anyone who does it should lose their license.

This sounds like an older auto situation, as far as the brake lights, it does not override most modern autos brake lights. I get that it overrides a turn signal, but in this scenario no one is turning.

If it's raining so hard that you feel you have to go so slow to put your hazards on, my advice would be to exit entirely and stop in a safe spot until the rain lets up

Thank you for your advice.
