Sent my kids out to do a rain dance to make it rain and we got hammered for a good 20 minutes. Their rain dance consisted of chanting like they were in a cult and pouring water on their heads with Tupperware.

Please send them to Cypress. I can pay them in popsicles.

Thunder and rain all over the radar in my area but only like 2 drops on my house.

Drop them by the Westbury area tomorrow, if you would. Thunder around us this evening, Jack **** falling from the sky.

Would be more enjoyable with some music.

Welp, my neighborhood lost power the minute the winds whipped up.
1.24" of rain at the gage by my house. Rained for about 45 minutes with a 10 minute break in there. Didn't think the trees were going to make it thru all that wind but they held on. It was pretty intense. Power went out for about 3 hours. Luckily we had a generator installed last week.
Got excited when some drops hit me while walking the dog tonight. But of course, it was just an oscillating sprinkler I hadn't noticed.
Some thunder and a distant lighting bolt in the northwestern sky were all the excitement we got.

A squirrel could piss on CP lines and our power goes out. Probably the 3rd time this year we've been without power for an extended period.
My best investment was a poor man's whole house generator. Saved me hundreds in perishables - definitely getting its ROI.
Edit - I suck at emoji clicking

It just got dark with a few clouds and some wind. Too the surprise of noone, the rain cloud heading our way dissipated before it got here.
Heard thunder for first time in 6 weeks. As close as we got in Woodlands area.
You guys missed out - I rode out the 60-70 mph winds behind a hill on the golf course...hunkered down behind a hill in the open. Lasted over 20 minutes.
Why was i out in the open? I was in the open bc the trees were getting struck by lightning and snapping in half.
Started at 108 and finished at 81. It was a good day!

OH, LOOK AT ME, I GOT COOL AIR!!
wow where was this?
It was right there in that spot with green grass. The grass is green b/c all of the debris flew over it at 60mph.98Ag99Grad said:

Should have hunkered down in a bunker.

I see what you did there!
What course and river is that? That's a full ass river...did N Texas get a bunch of rain or something? I have been so focused on my small area of Harris country I haven't been paying attention.evestor1 said:It was right there in that spot with green grass.

LOL at that flag stick.
Looks like Kingwood CC Forest Course - around hole 7?
I was at the Kingwood YMCA when it blew through and the wind was REALLY strong.

I was between 6 green and 7 tee box just get bolted with rain flying upward and pine needles...every so often a twig would hit me.
I am hosting a golf tournament for charity out there on October 9th so they better get it cleaned upEzra Brooks said:

Jfc. You think they won't pick up some leaves in 6weeks?

Calibrate your sarcasm meter.

This.
terradactyl has a b plug permanently inserted that keeps him pissed off at nonsense on Texags.
We got about 2in due to Harold, so we are doing good. Hope you guys in H-Town get some rain and relief soon. Rally boobs work for Astros runs, so maybe they work for rain?
It's pretty broken these days, definitely missed that one. Thought it was a humble brag
Looking like the Euro will be most reliable for this season. GFS finally picking it up several days later.
Most significant change: GFS has signed on with Gulf thing (after mostly ignoring it for past few days). Generally, models bring it into #Florida Tuesday night, possibly as hurricane—but implied motion across Gulf seems fast. Euro is slower & maybe more realistic. #Invest93L pic.twitter.com/kckgqRecAW

Going for an ATH tomorrow.
ERCOT once again appealing for conservation today. Things got pretty hairy yesterday in the late afternoon when solar dropped off. Will be interesting to see if they can get through today and tomorrow without load shedding. Rolling blackouts will be a wake up call for a lot of folks.
Screenshot is from yesterday. Natty reigns supreme in crunch time.
I'll be cranking the AC in the early afternoon to get the house cooled down.

I'm thinking about making a decision on the basis of this map.
Should I risk it?

This could be fixed in about 2-3 years and for $10B all in, most of which would probably be from private sources. Just build 8 one gigawatt CCGTs and stop worrying about whether or not the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. We'd also increase grid stability by adding dispatch-able generation. Locate the new generation near the non dispatch-able renewables and there should be minimal required transmission upgrades.
