Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Torvy]

We've got more coming the next couple of days. Then it's supposed to ease off. I had a ~18' section of perimeter fence get crushed by a falling oak branch (very old and large tree) today. We got a little hail. Maybe marble sized, but no damage from that.

The storm on Friday dropped a branch on the power line. 12 hours without power. It only affected a few properties so it wasn't a priority.

We had a dry winter, so this helps. We missed a few of the storms, so I'm happy. It's not the rain, for us, its the wind.

Happy camper here, we've had 4 1/2 inches in April. Mostly slow showers with just a few harder downpours.

Everything is green for a change.

Personally, I'd like for the rain to let up for a few weeks. I gotsta mow.

This exactly.

ssgp2: did you guys catch any of the tornado damage Mineral Wells got?
Or any of that baseball sized hail?

Nice little 2" rain over the last two days. Soaked in pretty well it seems.

EVERYTHING is GREEN

My tank was all but dry with only inches left from last fall/winter drought. Since March we’ve had over 11 inches of rain, not counting this weeks. Tank is now 2/3 full!

Fantastic! It's rained off and on for two days here.

The last day we got 1.85 here at the house and the ranch had another 3.5. Tank ought to be full or close to it!

Not sure about a cumulative total but all the grass is green and growing. My brother said he got 2.5" at his place not far from mine.

Glad to hear that most got rain.Enjoy it while we can. Might have a dry summer.
