Get ready for the deluge of local news coverage, at least, that's what usually happens when something heads our way.

interesting, it looks like we are going to get some heavy rain

Of course we would have this happen the one week of the month I have 5 home visits scattered throughout the city. Thanks a lot, weather Gods. Thanks a lot.

That's exactly what it is.

In other news, the winds are up to 60 mph.

The magical San antonio weather dome will protect us from most of it....

hopefully the shield goes down though.... I've been yerning for an apocolyptic type deluge in S.A. for a couple of years now.

We havnt had a massive, epic, rainstorm in some time.

Looks like the edge of it might hit right around midnight or 1am. The main part probably wont hit until an hour or 2 later.


I got beer and am staying up for a while anyway, hopefully its awesome when it shows up.

[marini martini]

7" tomorrow!!!:toast

Can't wait!!!:lol

The magical weather dome that had the city well above average for the entire spring?

Isis Romero is the hottest one for sure but Stephanie Serna is the one I would choose out of all the reporters. Eileen Gonzales is hot but I don't know, there's something odd about her. Like she has too many teeth or something.

[MannyIsGod]

I was pretty much traveling from this things birth to its landfall. Got fairly strong very fast!

It took twice as long to take the kids to school and get back home this morning because everybody magically forgets how to drive when it rains - but it's worth it. Everything is better when it rains. Naps, eating, sex, everything. Especially sex.

I'm set to have a great 24 hours.

Winds picking up here.

[CubanMustGo]

Austin was pounded. We got nearly 10" of rain yesterday (http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KTXROUND9&day=7&year=2010&month=9), over 4" already in Brushy Creek area. They evacuated about 100 homes along the creek due to the rising water levels.

There was so much rain up here that they actually had to shut down I-35 in Georgetown. Water "several feet deep" was reported at Southwestern University.

[boutons_deux]

Probably a once in decades amount of rain:

[benefactor]

A few spots just north of Austin got more than 15 inches. :wow

[robino2001]

We're at 13" and still raining heavily (Round Rock)

[MannyIsGod]

Thats some pretty good rain. Sounds fairly indicate of the rain the NB/Canyon Lake area got in October 1998. 15+ inches in less than 24 hours will definitely cause some serious flooding but I'm not familiar with how flood prone areas north of Austin are.

[TheManFromAcme]

Going to be sad when the rain leaves. Can never get too much. I love the rain.
Just hope people quit complaining about it because everytime I hear people whine about too much rain, it won't rain for a significant amount of time at which people will start their circle jerk of complaining because we haven't had any rain.

Stupid South Texans.

It's like I ask people;"Given the choice between drought and flood, no middle, what would you choose"?. You ALWAYS CHOOSE RAIN. ALWAYS.

Or when you see the weathercast on T.V during a drought and it's raining and the idiot weather guy says, "Don't worry folks, hopefully this will all be gone by tomorrow"

Stupid region of the U.S.

[Shelly]

our rain gauge said a half a foot of rain at my house

[TheManFromAcme]

My gauge has 7.25 inches on it here in Cibolo. It's off I think. My neighbor's got about 10 on his.

Don't stop rain.

[SpursWoman]

Yay, roads to work closed due to flooding! And major traffic lights out to make it even more interesting!

Had to find a way, though. Fun morning, no doubt.

[mrsmaalox]

It looks like we've gotten a little under 8" here at my house. Power was out a couple of times here yesterday, but not for more than an hour per time. That wind was crazy! It was trash day here yesterday and I had to retrieve my container from a pileup of at least a dozen at the end of the block. Luckily, some neighbor's nice Audi served as a stop to keep them from being hurled further.

[CubanMustGo]

Bingo, exactly where I live.

Sad thing is most of the rain is too far east to get in the Highland Lakes. Travis will get some and go up a few feet (especially if the rain currently to our SW stays to the west) but Buchanan's basically where it was a few days ago.

Honestly, I wish they would learn how to spell my name correctly.

Yeah I looked up a drainage map and that really sucks. Its all going to end up back in the Gulf instead of in a reservoir.

[boutons_deux]

Too much rain in too short of time, and at the end of the growing season.

Sounds like Repugs conducting a war.

Easy to say when its not your house floating down the river.

[Sense]

Wow Tropical Storm Igor just formed.. and it looks to be coming this way..

[MannyIsGod]

Igor is weeks away from affecting anything that doesn't have gills. Time will tell where it goes. (but only something like 5% of storms that form that far out ever make it to the Gulf coast - especially this time of year.)

[marini martini]

:lol Your right.

But I kind of find it hard to feel sympathy for people who INSIST on rebuidling their homes off a river they know crests from time to time.

:bang

[phxspurfan]

Sure, flooding rain sucks but your St. Augustine grass (which was designed to grow in Florida, which actually does rain like this often) will like the rain. Thus less watering, aquifer water level restoration and fewer watering restrictions.

[desflood]

Oh, it's raining again. Life is good.

[JudynTX]

Tornado trying to form in Dallas County right now. :wow

[MavDynasty]

Shitloads of tornados here in Dallas Metroplex atm


One touched down in Seagoville and there is one right by Love Field right now.

a woman totalled her car cause she can't drive in the rain???


Stop the fucking presses

[Cant_Be_Faded]

So is all this flooding good for Texas because it recharges the aquifers or is all the flooding bad

[Sisk]

a woman totalled her car cause she can't drive in the rain???


Stop the fucking presses

But I am glad she's ok.

Much of the rain didn't fall where it would recharge the 'aquifers' ... too far S or E. Some will go in. Would have been better if the storm had tracked 50 miles west of where it was.

I think for San Antonio, it was pretty much spot on. The thing went straight up the middle of san antonio crashed right into the recharge zone, stayed there for a while, then moved slightly to the west and threw off all the rain from its north eastern corner toward austin (therefore covering pretty much everything north of SA). I would be surprised if there wasn't a large jump in our aquifer level (though I haven't checked).

edit, just checked: It's gone up over 6 feet since Tuesday.

Ah, but if it had gone up 60 miles west, with more rain between Uvalde and SA, it could have gone up even more. All that rain that fell in Austin and points north is going straight to the coast.
