Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Western]

Went to lake Bridgeport, standing water everywhere. Clerk at the store this morning said he had just over 1" outside Bridgeport. Must have got less the farther North the storm was.

On the way home HWY 144 closed, a semi hauling liquid gas rolled and was leaking Took the long way home....

Must have spent to much time in the heat, cleaned the boat and the fish and passed out on the couch. Caught one nice Hybrid striper (24", 8.25lbs) and few sand bass for the table.

Woke up at 5:14am to severe thunder and hail, don't know where this little storm came from. Ended up with another 1", BlueRiver must have turned on his irrigation?? Only bad part about the deal, yes I forgot to roll up my truck window yesterday

Tried to "copy" from NOAA, but for some reason couldn't, the storm popped up and only covered maybe 1/4 of Wise County.

Yeahaaaw! Lots of thunder & lighting and then a good 1/2 inch of rain and some pretty good wind. I had a few small limbs down on the way out to get the paper this morning.

Dennis can you leave your truck windows down again tonight?

Dennis, I woke up just after 2:30 a.m. to as big a lightning show as I've ever seen. My wife said the City's Code Red system had called with a severe thunderstorm warning. I came in here and looked at the radar and it showed the severe weather going right along the east side of I-35E and I live just off the west side of I-35E. Didn't get a drop of rain this time.

Dennis, I watched the storm blob on the radar last night as it moved down from Wichita Falls toward Wise Co. I could tell that it was going south of me. All I got was a free light show and sound effects.

I'll put down the passenger side since the drivers side got it pretty good:laughing::laughing::laughing: Glad I bought a plain jane truck this time around, no carpet:thumbsup:

Jim, the one from Jack co may have been the one that got me, not big coverage wise, but packed a punch.

Bird, after watching the news last night, I figured you'd be the one with all the rain last night? I had counted my chance from slim to none.

Dennis,
Do Texan's use the method we do up here of fighting to sit in the middle,
so we won't be the one that has to get out in the rain to open the gate?

And after getting none last night and not expecting any today; we got about .84" between 9 and 11 a.m. this morning. May or may not get more today.

:laughing: yeah heard that one before, I personally hate gates, I prefer a cattle guard with optional gate. But that saying you quoted, is pretty accurate:laughing:

Thats the way it was for me, didn't expect it. At least you weren't left "high and dry" .84 is respectable when its getting this dry. The deer have already started coming in the back yard begging for food.
