Quote from: Solar on May 12, 2024, 05:54:03 AMI saw some of the videos of that hail, that shit is God throwing rocks at liberals.the storms are entertaining to say the least. Drought that last months/years gets real depressing. Know what you mean about growing up with no ac. we used to sleep outside, when it cooled down enough, if it did, we would move inside. Something you don't see anymore, if you happened to be in town, and back then it was a treat to go there, if a thunderstorm came up you would see people rushing outside to roll up
I know what you mean about news hype, here in Nor Cal, 100+ is a normal summer, 110/114 is a sit and stay cool, but now they open all these govt centers, even fire stations are forced to let people in, yes, the perpetual homeless rip them off blind.
From what used to be, A Say, "Stay The fuck Out Of Town Day" to come on in, tax payers will feed and house you for the day.
I grew up without air, didn't even have a fan, laid in bed till I passed out, but now, if it's over 90, it's huge news.
Fuckin pussies!
Well, lets hope your worst is over, that's some nasty ass weather no one should have to deal with.
But hey, at least it's a warm rain.

Quote from: Possum on May 12, 2024, 04:11:33 AMBack during our normal weather pattern, drought, every weather prediction which included rain, even if the prediction was only .02" was the severe weather warning. Never understood how a cloud with so little rain came with so many warnings. Makes you tend to ignore them after hearing them for every cloud. Have a b-i-l about two hours from here, had hail bigger than grapefruit. Forecast was just for rainfall, with the standard could be severe. Well, hell, I guess they issue all the warning to cover their butt.I saw some of the videos of that hail, that shit is God throwing rocks at liberals.
We have about another six weeks of wet weather, then we will be hit and dry for the rest of the summer, (don't hold me to that prediction, I have seen wet summers before) But Austin's chances of getting their water supply are running out. Wonder how you truck in enough water for a million people?
