Passing along this information so everyone is updated and don't get caught off guard like my friends did this morning with the random rain that came in from Oklahoma

I welcome it. As long as the winds are fairly mild before it gets to Austin.

You weren’t here for Harvey were you? It was four days straight of rain and tropical storm forced wind. A large tree in my apartment complex at the time almost fell on four cars. You should worry about the wind and flooding. Oh, and then drive form the road to San Antonio and talk to them about October 1998. The only way I won’t have any a lil anxiety is if it’s just a low that goes over us.

Well, hopefully it doesn't flood but after last year, there's no way I'm saying no to rain.

Recall that this is the flash flood capital of the world.

If it follows the latest track shown, we'll be on the "clean" side of the storm and won't get a whole lot of rain out of it. If that track shifts 50-100 miles to the south, it's a whole different story though.

I'm with Camaro though. We desperately need even more rain. I say that as someone that was here for Harvey too. As I recall, the biggest issue was the resulting panic created "gas shortage".

I just saw the updated track and am bummed. I agree we need the rain. I just don’t want all the extra things associated with it. It looks like maybe Marco and Laura may make a left turn and come bs k around for us, but it is way too early to make any specific predictions. The gas shortage thing was a mess.

When I first stepped outside this morning around 9 am, the temperatures were the most comfortable they had been in several months. That rain storm last night must have washed the heavy humidity out of the air real good because the air felt so crisp and clean and fresh. For a few quick seconds I thought the fall had arrived early in Austin this year, then I remembered it's still August.

Yeah I noticed that too I think we were mid 80's at Noon. For a second I thought my thermometer wasn't working.

Agreed, it was so refreshing going outside at 11:00 and not wilting under the hot sun.
