1. In the span of an hour we went from drizzle, to rain, to hail, back

to rain and finally sun!

[texas1928]

4. It has been cold and threatening rain all day here.

It finally hit. The thunder sounds nice. Wish I was home and not at work.

[Fleshdancer]

12. it's not everyday cold shit falls from the sky down here!

:rofl:

We had some wild weather today and the weather people are still excited...I feel so happy for those guys. :D

[GOPisEvil]

13. Yeah, July and August have to be so boring for them.

Yeah, yeah, upper 90s, sunny, blah, blah, blah....

[Fleshdancer]

16. and you just know they're applying for REAL weather jobs up north

during the months of July and August! But for one brief moment they were able to use all their weird doppler, radar, lighting strike technology in order to woo us! Our weather people try soooo hard with sooo little...it's hard not to love them. :D

I hear thunder right now. I know you're up north too so you probably hear it too.

[GOPisEvil]

17. The wind has picked up, thunder, etc...

Oh joy - here we go again! :bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

18. More hail!!!! Wheeee!

Now DRIVING RAIN!!! :scared:

[texas1928]

19. They have issued a severe thunderstorm warning for ya'll.

Looks like a pretty good little storm.

20. my hail stones this time around are tiny

stupid tiny hail stones. x(

The rain is really coming down though! Better too late and too early than never...or so I am told. :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

22. Yeah, the hail didn't last long, and the rain is tapering off now.

Of course this means I'll have to mow the lawn now. x(

[Fleshdancer]

23. I hated mowing the lawn

sadly enough, mowing lawns is one of the reasons why I'm out of the house buying game! It's just not my time yet I guess. :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

25. I should have bought the condo...

Next time I'll know better. :sigh:

At least my lawn is really small.

[texas1928]

14. Yeah they get excited don't they?

It is only every so often that they get it right.

[Fleshdancer]

15. I would rather they get excited over this than the wild fires!

:scared:

Our weather people went outside and collected hail stones even though we, the viewers, could see them outside our own windows! :rofl: One even kept 2 in a blockbuster VHS box! She was so happy so of course I was happy for her! :D

It is nice not have dirt blowing. And hearing the thunder rumble is so soothing.

[maxsolomon]

[texas1928]

11. Well this is not a rainy area.

It has been very dry here for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

[Fleshdancer]

Texas says the same thing to Seattle when Seattle sees that bright shiny yellow ball in the sky that burns your skin. :D

[maxsolomon]

but i cannot remember it

[BikeWriter]

24. I'd been hearing tornado warnings up that way, too.

[texas1928]

31. Did not have any around here.

It was just a nice steady rain and thunderstorm.

[BikeWriter]

(from I Wish It Would Rain, by The Temptations)

[texas1928]

33. We were saying that for a long while around here.

It has been so dry.

[Spacemom]

35. Jim Spencer is the Man!

When you see him in the "weather center" with his sleeves rolled up, you know you're in for some severe stuff. :rofl:

[texas1928]

39. Yeah it they show up on TV with the sleeves up and the tie off.

You better find the nearest hole to get in. It is going to be bad.

[BikeWriter]

36. Can you say t-o-r-r-e-n-t-i-a-l downpour?

I'm getting several inches of that rain we've been missing.

[texas1928]

40. It is nice to have those downpours.

The air here is so clean and fresh today.

[BikeWriter]

42. I'll have to mow within days or my yard will be a jungle again.

:(

[Saphire]

38. just south of you here, but still, no rain for me :(

[texas1928]

41. Just South.

That is a little more than just south.
