[Bob Lanier]

Just how much rain qualifies as a "damned monsoon" in Texas?

If anyone would know from monsoons it would be the thread starter.

Took you long enough.

[ShoogarBear]

Ha.

Actually I been through both monsoons and typhoons when we lived in Okinawa.

THis woke me up and now I can't go back to sleep. At least the power is back on, it blinked for about 10 minutes.

The damned emergency siren went off not quite two hours ago. So I got to stay awake and make sure nobody gets carried off by a tornado. And now... sh*t, the kids get up in two hours anyway

[RashoFan]

I had to go and help my Fire Chief and a few other FF get some guy out of the Cibolo Creek after he drove his car into a low water crossing. Kid is lucky that someone saw him drive into the crossing...it could have been a RECOVERY instead of a RESCUE.

... "rainfall/storm" total shows SA got up 2 inches, but was way under the 5 - 6 inches the front dumped elsewhere.

I lived through one in 1984 that was quite amazing. Did you experience any in your native land?

[Sonia_TX]

I slept good last night w/all the rain. It was great. We needed it.

What is the difference between a monsoon and a typhoon?

you are amazing

[KEDA]

the Cibolo creek actually has water in it, Im going to go drive down there and take a look.

Way back in both 98 and 2000 they had to shut 281 down in both sections because they were afraid the water was either going to go over the bridge, or possibly wash it out. That was the second coolest thing I have ever seen.

Once again, San Antonio doesn't reach it's true potential as pointed out by boutons.

typhoon = same as hurricane, except geographically located in NW Pacific Ocean

The true definition of monsoon (having just looked it up) is for the seasonal winds in the Indian and Pacific oceans, however, it's often used to describe any heavy rain accompanied by wind.
