But this the Tine Board. Take that ish to the Edna Board.
RTT is already en-route to Edna

How is 59 so bad at draining? It was barely raining but there seemed to be about 1/2" of water over the whole road and everyone had to drive ~45mph. trbl

I was a victim of Tropical Storm Bill. This little Mercedes spun out and got in my way. My Chevy Tahoe was like a damn rock and crunched his front end.

Don't tailgate in the rain
Well if you weren't taking pictures while driving maybe you could've stopped in time.
PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND DRIVE!!!!!

So no, I don't have much respect for any broadcast meteorologist. This is why I avoid local news entirely and go straight to NOAA, the NWS, Jeff Masters at Wunderground for Tropical Weather, etc.
I have noticed here in DFW that Pete Delkus always tweets out his forecast thoughts after NWS Fort Worth puts out their forecast discussion. What a sweet job.

The tires are fine. The sensors are broke and I'm not spending a bunch of money to replace them when the truck isn't worth squat.

Don't you mean front gate?
Keep at least 9 school bus lengths between you and the car in front of you.
^ wow! 9 school buses or ~37 cars would squeeze into that space
quote:I was being facetious, didn't actually calculate the total bus length and divide by the average car length to reach the number provided above. Please find it in your heart to forgive me.quote:

What car are you driving that is 10 feet long?

Is there much more rain in store for us or is this pretty much it?
Man, y'all have flown off the deep end! Sorry I missed a lot of this as it happened. I was too busy fear-mongering to stop on the thread in the last 12 hours.
In all seriousness though -- weather does get ratings. It affects everyone. That's why you see it covered so heavily.
But, when it comes to so-called fear mongering, believe what you want. I can only speak from my experience. From what I've seen, the folks I work with make a real effort to *not* over-hype things and tell you what is *likely* to happen or *could* happen. But, the thing is -- people hear what they want to hear. A meteorologist says, "Some areas could see 6-8" of rain," and people hear "I'll get 6-8" of rain at my house." So, when they don't get 6-8" of rain at their houses, they think the meteorologist blew the forecast. When, truthfully, some spots did get the amount they were predicting.
Just my two cents.

What is the shelf life of my 5 gallon jug of bleach? Do I need to get a new supply before the next big storm?

Better start drinking before expiration.

Understandable. We're all a little on edge from all the stress this major storm caused.
my 2 day total is sitting at 1.48". I hope many of y'all were significantly less affected.

I feel like Travis Herzog does a good job of differentiating between street flooding and structural flooding. Travis makes it a point to say that the streets are designed to carry water and that the inlets are designed for about 2" within 1 hour.
