It shouldn't be rocket surgery for a brilliant bureaucrat. Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do and you are helping, but, going on a public forum and gloating about doing something you didn't actually do struck a nerve with me.I was trying to gently coax you into realizing what I was trying to say but I failed. No doubt it was probably due to my lack of clarity, for that I apologize. What I was trying to say was that you did not call a Tornado and I'm sure you now realize this. There is no doubt that the NWS knew what was there, believe me, they did. What they use weather spotters like yourself for is to help clarify what they're seeing on radar is in fact happening at that location. Once it's verified through several different sources such as you, other spotters, radar and so on, they'll issue a warning. For the guy claiming I haven't done anything for Arfcommers, well, a lot of that information you've been posting in this thread and others comes from me, or guys like me. So while we're sitting there for hours on end watching computer screens, typing shitloads of WX information into numerous computers, issuing warnings, watches and so on trying to save the people of Texas' lives you can see how it might irk some of us when a weather spotter starts gloating about how we didn't even issue a warning or see a Tornado. While you can step outside your home, take a look around and go back inside and report what you see from most likely, the comfort of your own home, I wasn't able to go home until last night and I was here doing it again at 0500 this morning. So, forgive me if I got a little irked when I read to deeply into your posts about spotting "tornadoes before NWS". Sorry I didn't have time to come here on Arfcom and put up post after post of the reports I'd already sent out state wide. Maybe next time I can be a better "brilliant bureaucrat". 
Again, just to be sure; what you're doing is appreciated by many, myself included. |

Tornadoes and ice storms are shit compared to massive floods. Be careful and dont do anything silly. The flood will recede. Alot of dumb asses are found in log piles after the water is gone. |

The wife and I were down in San Antonio for the weekend and got to witness some of this first hand. Saturday night we were lucky we didn't get caught in a flash flood north of SA in Bulverde at a rodeo. Luckily someone from the area with a 4X4 got all of us across an area that had started to flood and back into SA. Never in my life seen it rain that damn hard and that long. We left SA on Monday morning around 9:30 and headed North on 35 back to Nebraska. I was monitoring the storms that were mentioned in the earlier pages and was just praying we didn't get caught in any of them. Sounds like we made it past Austin just before the SHTF. Only got nervous when we were in North Fort Worth and I was seeing the long line of storms headed that way. Around Denton we saw some of the scariest low clouds I have ever seen. But luckily all we drove through was hard rain until we made it into Oklahoma. I feel sorry for everyone who is affected by this shit. I wouldn't wish any of it on anyone.

I got into a bit of a heated conversation this morning when I stopped for coffee.
Some fat ass was spouting off that the people that lost their lives in Texas deserved it because they should have evacuated. I told him that was easy to say when his fat ass was high and dry some 1200 miles away. While that might be true in some cases, it appears that the waters have come up too quickly to give anyone much of a warning. When we have had flooding here I have seen people drive directly into a viaduct flooded with over 8 feet of water. In a case like that it is clear they should have seen the trouble ahead. I heard a news story about a house in Wimberley with 12 people that was washed off its foundation and smashed into a bridge during a flash flood. I'm sure they didn't have any time to react. I don't think this is the same as when people refuse to evacuate under a hurricane warning. Stay safe down there and I hope the weather changes for the better soon. |

While that might be true in some cases, it appears that the waters have come up too quickly to give anyone much of a warning. I'd say don't cause strife and work and just let idiots say idiot things, but just in case you want to bitch slap him around a little bit: Lots of factors here. It's been raining all month, so the ground is soaked. That means runoff into the rivers/dry stream beds is higher than normal. Lots of areas in Texas have gotten up to 50% or more of their average yearly totals in the last month so this is an extraordinary weather pattern. The flood in Wimberly in particular the river reached levels that have never been recorded, over 40 feet high. Previous record was 33 feet in the 1920s. Compounding the problem, some of those who died were vacationing there for Memorial Day weekend. So they didn't know the local terrain, didn't know the river status and simply had no idea until it was too late. Likewise, authorities and officials didn't know just how bad the flooding was going to be until it happened so there wasn't time to warn adequately. 100 year flood events happen. People always die and property is always destroyed, regardless of what part of the country they're in. If they were more common events, we'd have better systems in place but they're just too rare. |

May wettest month in Texas EVER
Figures from the Office of the State Climatologist at Texas A&M University show that the month of May has been the wettest month ever in the state’s history, averaging 7.54 inches, besting the previous record of 6.66 inches in June of 2004.
He says the reason is a combination of factors: an active El Niño in the Pacific Ocean which tends to bring the jet stream over Texas, a steady flow of moist air from the south that becomes unstable when it undercuts the jet stream, and a stubborn weather pattern “that just won’t go away. The good news: Nielsen-Gammon says the stubborn pattern should begin to change in a few days, “and after this weekend, we should enter a period of more normal conditions." The state’s wettest area has been from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to the Red River, parts of which have received more than 20 inches of rain this month. All of that rain means many lakes and reservoirs are close to capacity. Lakes near Wichita Falls have gone from just 20 percent capacity to 100 percent in the last month, he adds. |

This is Cypress Creek from the same location as the first pic, you can see how close to the creek we were and how low the topography is in relation to the creek.  |

He says the reason is a combination of factors: an active El Niño in the Pacific Ocean which tends to bring the jet stream over Texas, a steady flow of moist air from the south that becomes unstable when it undercuts the jet stream, and a stubborn weather pattern “that just won’t go away.

Severe thunderstorm warning out for Austin again right now. I can hear it thundering outside and it's getting real dark.

Damn. I don't think my 18gal ShopVac would help much there. My lower pastures are inaccessible right now. About 1000 acres of standing water. Spent yesterday and last night getting 800 head of cattle moved to higher ground and moving round bales out to the herds. Really rough time for some of my calves right now. They are getting exhausted from walking in mud. And more storms expected this afternoon. It's a fucking mess out there. I appreciate the thought. I've got a ranch hand and my 4 dogs. We managed to get it done. The livestock are stressed and tired, but I think we'll be OK. The horses and dogs are taking today off. I've spent most of the day cutting up trees and replacing the fence line they fell on. About half a mile of 4' fence is completely underwater on the back half of my property. I'm betting I'll be replacing a lot of it when the water recedes. |

The only good thing is that this MCS is moving at a decent clip; rainfall will probably end up around an inch or less.
