How's the rest of TX doing with their weather?

[babylonsister]

We've had over 17 inches of rain since 2 weekends ago, and it's dumping, thundering, and lightening here now, again. Supposed to last for a few hours.

I feel like a mushroom. :( Plus, my tv goes out when the weather is this bad. Oh, the humanity!

On the plus side, I expect the frogs any day now-lots of 'em.

1. I'm not sure how much rain we got...

... but by the puddles in the yard and the torn up newspaper in the house, we had alot of rain and alot of thunder(my Dingo hates thunder and will tear up stuff when it happens).

The frogs are on the plus side-love their singing in the evening!

2. It finally cleared off in Austin.

It's cool and clear and breezy.

But the Coastal Bend is still bone dry.

4. Yes, of course it rained this morning

I had a presentation in my management class at 8am and it included a huge paper visual aid that was in my car. Luckily it lightened up when I got to school, and since I got there 20 minutes early, I pulled up right to the door (where the handicapped parking is) and got it inside within a couple of minutes (and then of course, moved my car to an appropriate parking spot).

I think it's supposed to rain pretty much every day this week in the DFW area.

5. It's really cool right now, but no rain

:(

Got some rain & hail about a week ago, but nothing since then.

8. I don't know how much we got on the 18th of April,

because I didn't have a rain gauge at that time. But it completely filled the ditches and threatened to come in the house. Think it *did* come into some houses on our block. It wasn't the drainage, either, because the ditches were way down by a few hours after it hit. I think we had a microburst of some sort.

Last night I *did* have a rain gauge - it only said about an inch, but the ditches were very full. Either it's off or the ground is *really* saturated.

They closed our school district today, but really we weren't flooded, except maybe in a few areas that got the kind of microburst we got on the 18th - I dunno.

9. Waco is 3" above normal for the year

And we are expecting another 6-8 days of rain.

I'm going to west Texas to dry out a little.

[Ilsa]

10. I'm expecting an outbreak of mosquitoes and West Nile virus, even though

we've only had about an inch in the last two days. Less than 2 inches for the year down here along the central gulf coast. We are still grossly behind in rainfall.

My father in Washington County has had to duck and cover for at least three separate tornado warnings over the last three weeks.

I don't mind the frogs, but the mosquitoes will be bad, and they can carry West Nile virus.

11. We've had rain off and on for 2 wks here in Dallas, but that's fine w/me.

Later on in the summer, we're likely to have dry spells (sometimes called droughts), so I'll take the rain when I can get it. My yard is GREEN instead of brown!

[yellowdogintexas]

21. yep we kind of have to take it when we can get it don't we? nt

[WolverineDG]

12. Rain would be nice

but we haven't had any in quite a while. The temps have been over 100 for over 2 weeks now.

13. 15 days of above normal temperatures

We're going to be frying this summer in Austin.

Rain chances are very slight for the next two weeks.

14. Hot and humid

I spent this afternoon doing yard work and I'm tired! I already miss the cool breezes of spring when I could leave my windows open and not use the AC :)

[Sailing]

16. Just saw this outside my window

I guesss summer is here.

[kjackson227]

17. Yep, summer is here...

It was 87 and humid here in Dallas, yesterday. My a/c unit was running steady all day at 74, ~SIGH~.

20. raining now in Tarrant County

it is a good rainy season.

[tammywammy]

27. I got a little hail Tue or Wed over in Arlington

I can't remember which day it stormed so bad this week. Anywho, it was baby hail only pea/marble sized.

[DuckBurp]

22. Rain in Texas always seems too much or too little.

So, the average rainfall looks ok, but it is deceptive. It's like the guy whose feet are in the oven and whose head is in the refrigerator. His average temperature is just right.

[kjackson227]

25. LOL!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. The front corner of my yard is beginning to mold.

Lots of rain.

[sonias]

28. What? Where?

We need to build a water pipeline from your lawn to Central Texas. We're dieing of thirst here.
