This is what I have read over and over again.
He must have. They are restructuring the rates to encourage water conservation. Average residential bill will go down a bit and heavy water users will pay considerably more.
This is what I have read over and over again.
quick question.... isn't it better (rain wise) to be slightly northeast of the eye? Don't you get more rain that way?
Looks like nothing for central TX
Chale guey, be directly in fron of the eye and you will get it all.
I think that this cone is where the eye could go, we can still get slammed by the storm even if the eye doesn't pass directly over us.Looks like nothing for central TX
There are two issues: long-term and short-term.
Long-term I have no doubt the situation is as presented here. That said, short-term the City depends on getting "X" million dollars each month in profit from water sales to balance its budget, and if overall water usage is WAY down, there certainly could be a (counter-intuitive) raise in overall rates so the City continues to get the financial windfall from water billings.
Now, back to Don. This thing's not going to get strong enough to slam anyone. Given the amount of shear and small size of the storm, it's not even outside the realm of possibility that it totally breaks down before it gets here if it encounters more hostile conditions, tho that doesn't look likely. We have to hope the shear will let up a bit so the thing can organize a little so it can grow and actually form a decent-sized rain coverage area. Otherwise it hits the coast, a few counties get rain down there, and then poof it goes away before most of the state can get anything out of it.
It is better to be on the NE side of the center of circulation, yes. However, one bad thing about the storm is how compact it is. It needs to expand a lot more before landfall and that probably won't happen. Its very small.
San Antonio should get rain out of this though.
Not that TX needs rain or anything...I'm on that small spot on the right.
Come on Don! Bring it!!!
it's not multi-100-mile-wide monster. It's a punk
SA will get nothing more than some interesting cloud sightings to the s/w.
The drought's hit on this season's TX ag is estimated to be $4B+.

looks like the center will pass 100+ miles from SA.
It may be apunk but we will take anything we can get lol
They're saying 4-6" of rain possibly...I'll sure take it.
I hate to see it keep moving to the south. South Texas needs rain too but yeah.
I'm north of SA, I think I'm going to get screwed. Sucks, most of the deer around here look like skeletons.
Thanks Rick Perry.
this . At the rate it's bending southward it may end up going into Mexico.
I would like to see the businesses that run their sprinklers all night pouring water in the street pay out the ass.
The track is pretty far south now. Looks like SA is going to get totally hosed.
That sucks. I was expecting driving into the rain.
coming ashore now, right over Brownsville

Nah, its still a few hours off shore and it will come ashore near the Rockport Port A area just south of Corpus.
I'm still headed down there this weekend.
oh well. I did this anyway.
