Time to build an ark!

The view from my street as of a half-hour ago, with another line of storms bearing down:

Dammit! My forty-cent wings are getting cold. I can't leave till it drains.

Want to borrow my kayak?

 

[Football_Bat]

At this rate I'll need to invest in a yacht.

As I was driving through western Maryland a few weeks ago I drove past a church that had a huge sign proudly proclaiming they were re-building Noah's Ark. It was rather startling, especially since it was in the mountains and if it was ever needed, well, it'd be because the ocean had moved about 200 miles west. I'm sure it'd make for a hell of a magazine article.

Nice beach-front property you have there F_B.

Speaking of cheap wings, I'm starving. It's pouring here too. I'm sick of this ****.

Given the serious droughts throughout the country, I don't think anyone should be complaining about some rain.

 

[mltru2tx]

Only if you've had people die from too much. There is such thing as too much rain.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

We really need the rain here. Thankfully it rained for about 45 minutes earlier this afternoon and is raining right now. This is the worst drought we've had in a good long time.

 

[mltru2tx]

We're usually in that situation at this time of year...not this year.

Well, West Texas is about to join in the fun. I just left a rainy Seattle and come home to a wicked line of thunderstorms rolling down the panhandle. Weather channel was saying there are 73 mph winds on the front of the storm. Should be fun tonight.

****, where? Odessa/Midland area, panhandly area, Abilene/San Angelo area, El Paso area or all of the above? It's clear out here right now, but god knows that can change in an instant.

And we've had more than enough rain. I think our news-side did a story on how far above average we are right now. I drove through parts of West Texas today where yards, typically nice and crispy golden this time of year, are small lakes.

You know that this all of this is the Evan Almighty street team at work.

In this neck of the woods, we've had the most rain over about a two-month period that I can remember in my entire life. It has been absolutely insane.
One of our local American Legion baseball teams has played exactly five games this summer.

 

[Angola!]

Well, that was fun.
65 mph winds, to go with torrential rains, some lightning and surprisingly, little thunder.
All in all, a pretty quality line of storms thanks to the rain and wind. My yard will be greener than ever for the next week. I heard we are supposed to get pounded by more storms on Thursday.

I don't know if any of our posters live in the Hill Country in central Texas, but good luck if you do. They picked up a whopping 18 inches of rain in less than 24 hours.
The storms were so bad, they had to cancel helicopter rescue missions and people were just left on their roofs to fend for themselves.
Apparently there is more rain on the way today.

The sun just came out. Yippee! The only problem is, there's another huge glob of green and yellow on the radar growing in the Stephenville area and headed northwest again.

The regional zoom on the radar looks like a tropical storm rotating over Oklahoma.

I'm sure it is George Bush's fault. He wants you to die, just like those folks in New Orleans. It is all a part of his evil plot.
